socket descriptor per thread

As I understand, in Linux (not sure about Unix in general) there exists a single table of file descriptors per process, and the table is shared among all threads.

So, does this mean that any socket FD created in a thread will become available to other threads in the process?

Yes, and in fact this is true of POSIX threads in general. File descriptors and "open file descriptions" are per-process.
