The handle property is generally used for low-level programming only. Its value is the internal value which identifies the underlying control to the operating system.
It can be passed to external calls which require a handle argument via ŒNA or Auxiliary Processors. If no valid handle is available (for example, if the object is not open), 0 is returned.
For a Socket object, the handle property is used in a special way for server sockets accepting requests for connection from clients. See the documentation on the Socket object for details.
