+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// Be aware that many Rust types implicitly close-on-drop, including
+/// `std::fs::File`.  Explicitly closing them with this method too can result in
+/// a double-close condition, which can cause confusing `EBADF` errors in
+/// seemingly unrelated code.  Caveat programmer.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// use std::os::unix::io::AsRawFd;
+/// use nix::unistd::{close_range, CloseRangeFlags};
+///
+/// let f = tempfile::tempfile().unwrap();
+/// unsafe { close_range(f.as_raw_fd(), f.as_raw_fd(), CloseRangeFlags::empty()).unwrap() };   // Bad!  f will also close on drop!
+/// ```
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use std::os::unix::io::IntoRawFd;
+/// use nix::unistd::{close_range, CloseRangeFlags};
+///
+/// let f = tempfile::tempfile().unwrap();
+/// let fd = f.into_raw_fd(); // Good.  into_raw_fd consumes f
+/// unsafe { close_range(fd, fd, CloseRangeFlags::empty()).unwrap(); }
