fcntl module update supports FreeBSD F_KINFO flag #90179
A ticket should contain enough information so that a reviewer can understand the purpose of a feature request.

The F_KINFO flag returns the related kinfo_file from the file descriptor.
While F_KINFO is, at the moment, FreeBSD's specific however other BSD has kinfo_file data as well thus the possibility they support a similar feature (F_KINFO appears only around the 5th of December).
Does not appear yet on the man page most likely due to its very recent appareance.
I still have no clue what the flag is doing. Could you please describe the purpose and meaning of kinfo_file so that somebody without FreeBSD Kernel insight can understand it? Much appreciated.
The feature is not available in FreeBSD 13.0. Is it scheduled for 14.0? We typically do not wrap new Kernel or OS features until they are available in stable OS releases.

Not completely. #114321 implements only the simplest part. The following issues can supersede this issue or make it easier.
