One of the constructors of class Socket is as follows:

pure nothrow @nogc @safe this(socket_t sock, AddressFamily af);


socket_t is basically a file descriptor which is the type "int".

Your C library provides you "socket_t" value already as far as I 
understand.
So, you can pass it to constructor.

Unless you explicitly call "close" method of Socket object, its 
descriptor will
stay allocated for your process/program.
