If you are refering to these values in userspace apps., fileno() should solve the second problem [descriptor value from pointer to the file structure] For the first problem, the value returned by socket() function itself is the integer socket descriptor value. What socket struct are you refering to in this case? sockaddr? If so, remember that is the sturct containing a socket address, not a pointer to a structure containg socket information.
