File descriptors are a Unix concept, not a C concept.

I'm sure the folks over in comp.unix.programmer would be glad to help
you with this. Just to make things easier, give them your instructor's
e-mail address so they can submit their solutions to your homework
assignment directly.

(My apologies if this isn't a homework assignment, but it certainly
looks like one.)
