We find from Kernighan and Ritchie (K&R) second edition, section 8.1 that a file descriptor is a small non-negative integer that refers to a file and is maintained by the system.

Wikipedia is also a useful reference.

When I select the words "file descriptors" on a web page, contextual- click it (right click, secondary click, control click), then choose Search with Google from the contextual menu, Wikipedia's page is the top hit.
