+# This build file prints out a list of open file descriptors in
+# Ninja subprocesses, to help verify we don't accidentally leak
+# any.
+
+# Because one fd leak was in the code managing multiple subprocesses,
+# this test brings up multiple subprocesses and then dumps the fd
+# table of the last one.
+
+# Use like: ./ninja -f misc/inherited-fds.ninja
