Are file descriptors shared when fork()ing?
From fork(2)
:
* The child inherits copies of the parent’s set of open file descrip- tors. Each file descriptor in the child refers to the same open file description (see open(2)) as the corresponding file descriptor in the parent. This means that the two descriptors share open file status flags, current file offset, and signal-driven I/O attributes (see the description of F_SETOWN and F_SETSIG in fcntl(2)).
They do share the same offset.
