Hi Derek, My Visual C++ 6.0 installation has source for the C Run Time library. File handles returned by "open" and "create" are NOT Windows API level file handles. They are an index into arrays of an internal library structure which contains a field for saving the Windows API level file handle.
The Windows Socket API says socket handles MAY be used as Windows API level file handles: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/socket_handles_2.asp Not as definite as I would prefer. To assure POSIX semantics it seems we need to insure file and socket handles exist in a single number space so they can be used together in a "select" implementation. How does abstracting all CVS I/O calls for files, pipes and sockets sound to you?
