Good question. It depends on how you use it.
It's a file descriptor, so it should be an int, and it appears
that's always a 32-bit signed (for 32 and 64 bit machines).
So the size seems to be right.
Whether it's signed or not I think depends on whether you
ever save an error value in this field. I doubt you do,
but if you do, it should be signed. Otherwise, the largest
value will never exceed INT_MAX/S32_MAX; and in that case
either is fine.
Will Gunyah ever run on a 32-bit machine?
