Hi Dave! To be fair, not sure at moment. Initially I wanted to implement a general
--fds option which might take more complex command line like sockets:PF_X,^PF_X and
such, then extend it to file:^pipe,epoll. But this end up in being somehow
more complex rework. So I decided to stick with simplier approach first -- -E option
which would exclude some socket protocols from being generated.

But sure, once time permit I can try to implement --fds option as well. Lets fisrt
summarize what kind of syntax it will carry.

 --fds [sockets:PF_X,^PF_X,N,^N,all,none],[files:pipe,^epoll,all,none]

Sounds good?
