A set object indicating which functions in the os module accept an open file descriptor for their dir_fd parameter. Different platforms provide different features, and the underlying functionality Python uses to implement the dir_fd parameter is not available on all platforms Python supports. For consistency’s sake, functions that may support dir_fd always allow specifying the parameter, but will throw an exception if the functionality is used when it’s not locally available. (Specifying None for dir_fd is always supported on all platforms.)
