// Handle provides a safe representation of Go values to pass between

// Handle provides a way to pass values that contain Go pointers
// (pointers to memory allocated by Go) between Go and C without
// breaking the cgo pointer passing rules. A Handle is an integer
// value that can represent any Go value. A Handle can be passed
// through C and back to Go, and Go code can use the Handle to
// retrieve the original Go value.
//
// The underlying type of Handle is guaranteed to fit in an integer type
// that is large enough to hold the bit pattern of any pointer.
