| Syntax | FileHandle(HandleItem) |
| Action | [Function] Returns the operating system file handle for a random or sequential file. |
| Scope | Usable anywhere |
| Notes | An Equinox file handle is different to an operating system file handle. In some circumstances, for example where you are running an external DLL, you may want to transfer the system file handle to the DLL for executing external file operations. The HandleItem parameter must be an Equinox variable type 'Handle' and is the handle of the file which was opened with the FileOpen statement. The function returns an integer variable containing the operating system file handle. |
