I have looked to the source.

On non-Windows, it is an int. No problem.

On Windows, it is either a SOCKET or a UINT_PTR. This is impossible. I write a Go binding[1] based on the C API. I need to know what the type is on Windows, and the C header file doesn't tell.

And if fd_t is internal to the C++ code, why is it used in the C API reference?
