Then I'm confused by what you meant, because you can use fds with or without libc.

I don't want to bypass libc in general, because I care about portability, but fds are just a nice interface, so I still use them instead of FILE, which would be the portable choice. My calls are still subject to OS choices, that differ from the kernel, since I don't bypass libc.
