_get_osfhandle
Returns operating-system file handle associated with existing low-level file descriptor.
long _get_osfhandle(
int fd
);
Parameters
- fd
User file descriptor.
Return Value
The _get_osfhandle function returns an operating-system file handle if fd (the low-level file descriptor) is in range and is internally marked as free. 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.
