unix - calc file descriptors

I'm wondering how to calculate the number of file descriptors Oracle will 
use on Unix.  Obviously there will be one file descriptor for each file, 
and for each socket (connection through listener).  How about for IPC 
connections?  How about for Oracle processes (oracle executable file)?  
I'm assuming device files aren't counted, as the OS or root user has those 
mounted & open.

Perhaps someone could point me to a document, or metalink reference which 
details this.

Thx.
Sean
