It does reject the argument if the upper bound is reached. On the lower
end, the linux man page does not specify that negative numbers are not
allowed as arguments. Note, that fcntl is not supposed to be the same as
dup2(), i.e., it does NOT duplicate the given fd into the new one
specified, but should return the next available fd equal to or larger
than the argument.
Cygwin does this correctly, from what I have tested.

fcntl is supposed to reject attempts to duplicate to an out-of-range fd.
On Linux, this correctly fails with EINVAL.
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i = fcntl (0, F_DUPFD, -1);
printf ("%d %d %s\n", i, errno, strerror (errno));
return 0;
}
