_v with xterm doesn't work on my mac. But _v does work on my linux machine.

I'm trying to understand _v better. Why fd 9 is used? Is it special to vim?

exec 9<>"$tmpfile"

It seems the vim command in _v writes to fd 9.

When I try the following command, it indeed write the content of _v
along with the ansi color code to output.txt

/usr/bin/vim -e -X -R "_v" -c "source _v" -c "visual" -c "bufdo call
AnsiHighlight()" -c qa 2>/dev/null 9>output.txt

But the above code does not work on Mac. I tried with a number of file
descriptors. But none of them work. So it seems the problem is to find
a fd that works on Mac.

Note that this seem to be related to my recent question.
