And:
$ dash -c '/bin/ls -l /dev/fd/'
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 0 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 1 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 2 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 3 -> /proc/27356/fd
$ dash -c '/bin/ls -l /dev/fd/'
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 0 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 1 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 2 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:51 3 -> /proc/18740/fd
So in Bash the process is no longer available. Adding -d to the above:
$ dash -c '/bin/ls -ld /dev/fd/*'
/bin/ls: cannot access '/dev/fd/3': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:50 /dev/fd/0 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:50 /dev/fd/1 -> /dev/pty2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 eboyd53 eboyd53 0 Dec 3 10:50 /dev/fd/2 -> /dev/pty2
