_get_osfhandle

 

The latest version of this topic can be found at _get_osfhandle.

Retrieves the operating-system file handle that is associated with the specified file descriptor.

Syntax

intptr_t _get_osfhandle(   
   int fd   
);  

Parameters

fd
An existing file descriptor.

Return Value

An operating-system file handle if fd is valid. Otherwise, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (–1) and sets errno to EBADF, indicating an invalid file handle.

Remarks

To close a file opened with _get_osfhandle, call _close. The underlying handle is also closed by a call to _close, so it is not necessary to call the Win32 function CloseHandle on the original handle.

Requirements

Routine Required header
_get_osfhandle <io.h>

.NET Framework Equivalent

Not applicable. To call the standard C function, use PInvoke. For more information, see Platform Invoke Examples.
