#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct BorrowedHandle<'handle> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A borrowed handle.

This has a lifetime parameter to tie it to the lifetime of something that owns the handle.

This uses repr(transparent) and has the representation of a host handle, so it can be used in FFI in places where a handle is passed as an argument, it is not captured or consumed, and it is never null.

Note that it may have the value -1, which in BorrowedHandle always represents a valid handle value, such as the current process handle, and not INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, despite the two having the same value. See here for the full story.

This type’s .to_owned() implementation returns another BorrowedHandle rather than an OwnedHandle. It just makes a trivial copy of the raw handle, which is then borrowed under the same lifetime.

Implementations

Creates a new OwnedHandle instance that shares the same underlying object as the existing BorrowedHandle instance.

Return a BorrowedHandle holding the given raw handle.

Safety

The resource pointed to by handle must be a valid open handle, it must remain open for the duration of the returned BorrowedHandle.

Note that it may have the value INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (-1), which is sometimes a valid handle value. See here for the full story.

And, it may have the value NULL (0), which can occur when consoles are detached from processes, or when windows_subsystem is used.
