Basically, dispatch_fd_t directly represents either a POSIX file descriptor OR a Windows HANDLE pointer address, meaning that the fileDescriptor parameter of various Dispatch APIs is actually NOT a file descriptor on Windows but rather a HANDLE. This means that the handle should NOT be converted using _open_osfhandle, and the return value of this function should ONLY be passed to Dispatch functions where the fileDescriptor parameter is masquerading as a HANDLE in this manner. Use with extreme caution.
