<para>This function can be used to turn a Win32 "handle" into a
posix-style file handle. <parameter>fd</parameter> may be -1 to
make cygwin allocate a handle; the actual handle is returned
in all cases.</para>
<para>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.</para>

<para>This function gives you access to various internal data and functions.
It takes two arguments. The first argument is a type from the 'cygwin_getinfo_types'
enum. The second is an optional pointer.</para>
<para>Stay away unless you know what you're doing.</para>
