fdget requires an integer type file descriptor as its parameter,
and fget requires a pointer to the file structure as its parameter.

By using the fdget function, the socket object, can be quickly
obtained from the process's file descriptor table without
the need to obtain the file descriptor first before passing it
as a parameter to the fget function. This reduces unnecessary
operations, improves system efficiency and performance.
