I'm writing native C++ using VS2005.

I have a FILE* for a file opened with fopen. I want to get the WIN32
file handle for this file so I can call GetFileTime on it.

I can get the descriptor number with _fileno, but there doesn't seem to
be a function to give me the handle from the descriptor number.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks,
++PLS

Use _fileno followed by _get_osfhandle.
