Subject: fd argument in NewConnection() Method (profile-api.txt)

How can the bluez stack, which runs in its own process, generate a file
descriptor and hand that fd over to another process (the bluetooth
profile server process)? I was under the impression that fds can not be
passed across processes.

bluez 5.2
