does the windows file handle change?does the windows file handle change?
are file handles unique to the whole operating system or just the current directoy? if a file is opened then closed then opened again, does the file handle remain the same? >does the windows file handle change? No, you get a handle each time you open a file and it's valid untilyou close it. If the value changed it would be a different handle. >are file handles unique to the whole operating system or just the current Handles are not scoped by directory, they represent an open file>directoy? anywhere in the file system. That doesn't mean that they are unique though. You could get the same handle value (for different files) in different processes for example. >if a file is opened then closed then opened again, does the file No. (Actually it could but in general it doesn't.)>handle remain the same?
