For passing file descriptors in or out of Go APIs you'll want to use
the os.File object.

To pass it from Go to C use a param 'file os.File' and call 'C.int(file.Fd())'
to get the POSIX file descriptor to pass to C. libvirt-go OpenGraphics API
gives an illustration of this.

For the reverse direction from C to Go use

   os.NewFile(uintptr(fd), "name")

where 'name' is any sensibiel identifying short name. libvirt-go
OpenGraphicsFD gives an illustration of this direction.

Regards,
Daniel
