How does one pass an open file descriptor from one process to another?

I heard that it might have to do with the msg_accrights field of the
msghdr structure used by sendmsg(2), but I couldn't find anything in
the man pages or the FAQs...  I could've sworn I'd seen this answered
somewhere before, how do you do it?

Thanks for the help!
