+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dup ,
+.Nm dup2
+.Nd duplicate an existing file descriptor
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <unistd.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn dup "int oldd"
+.Ft int
+.Fn dup2 "int oldd" "int newd"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn Dup
+duplicates an existing object descriptor and returns its value to
+the calling process
+.Fa ( newd
+=
+.Fn dup oldd ) .
+The argument
+.Fa oldd
+is a small non-negative integer index in
+the per-process descriptor table.  The value must be less
+than the size of the table, which is returned by
+.Xr getdtablesize 2 .
+The new descriptor returned by the call
+is the lowest numbered descriptor
+currently not in use by the process.
+.Pp
+The object referenced by the descriptor does not distinguish
+between
+.Fa oldd
+and
+.Fa newd
+in any way.
+Thus if
+.Fa newd
+and
+.Fa oldd
+are duplicate references to an open
+file,
+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr write 2
+and
+.Xr lseek 2
+calls all move a single pointer into the file,
+and append mode, non-blocking I/O and asynchronous I/O options
+are shared between the references.
+If a separate pointer into the file is desired, a different
+object reference to the file must be obtained by issuing an
+additional
+.Xr open 2
+call.
+The close-on-exec flag on the new file descriptor is unset.
+.Pp
+In 
+.Fn dup2 ,
+the value of the new descriptor
+.Fa newd
+is specified.  If this descriptor is already
+in use, the descriptor is first deallocated as if a
+.Xr close 2
+call had been done first.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The value -1 is returned if an error occurs in either call.
+The external variable
+.Va errno
+indicates the cause of the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Fn Dup
+and
+.Fn dup2
+fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+.Fa Oldd
+or
+.Fa newd
+is not a valid active descriptor
+.It Bq Er EMFILE
+Too many descriptors are active.
