Closing a file handle in parent

[subrahmanya]

Hi All

A process spawns another process and it inherits all the parent
process handles. While the child process is existing if parent process
closes a file handle will the corresponding handle be accessible in
child process or this gets closed automatically (on windows). I am
writing a program in C++ where I want the corresponding handle in
child process also be closed.

Thanks in advance

These issues are all related to the OS, not the language -- you'll need
to ask in a newsgroup specific to the OS you're using.
