Going straight to D-Bus feels excessive. Here's an 85-line file I had lying around that should cover most cases of FD passing: https://paste.rs/6FBFS.c.

There are a few existing libraries like libancillary that would do this for you and provide some level of OS compatibility.

Libancillary achieves more or less the same thing with more or less the same amount of code. I do still need to test compatibility with non-Linux Unices beyond checking the manuals. (If only I had jart’s stable of premade VMs for this purpose so it wasn’t such a pain.)
