cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd

int
cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd
char *name
int fd
HANDLE handle
int bin
int access
Description
This function can be used to turn a Win32 "handle" into a
posix-style file handle. fd may be -1 to
make cygwin allocate a handle; the actual handle is returned
in all cases.
Even after using function, Cygwin doesn't know anything about the
underlying file or device. It just tries to supply the typical file
functions on a "best-effort" basis. Use with care. Don't expect too
much.
