- handle_type: type of hIn handle
- 0 if file, 1 if console, anything else if unknown (autodetect)
I suspect you want an enum for that.
Well I thought about that, but found it a bit overkill for such a limited set of possible values. Also, if I used sthg like
enum CMD_HANDLE_TYPE { CMD_HT_FILE = 0, CMD_HT_CONSOLE = 1, CMD_HT_UNKNOWN = 2 }
, I'd have to add error checking for unknown parameters passed to WCMD_ReadFile, or never check for CMD_HT_UNKNOWN, and just use it as default value. So TBH I don't think an enum is really necessary (especially since it's just a corner case; all "similar" functions use a BOOL is_console_handle, covering cases 0 and 1. I wouldn't want to change those)
