Description

INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is a constant used to represent a handle which is either invalid or unassigned. INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, like other handle values, are represented as the type needed for a specific platform. For the Windows platform, the INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE defined in the windows.pp unit is used. For other platforms, DWORD(-1) is used.

For FPC compiler versions after 3.2.2, the INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE constant is defined in the platform-specific sysutils.pp unit.
