spec files and handles

With functions that take HANDLEs as arguments, what should that
argument be listed as in the spec file?  I thought HANDLEs were
void *'s, so ptr would seem right.  I found a function
(DebugBreakProcess in kernel32.spec) that takes a HANDLE and
has that listed as long in the spec.

So which should it be - ptr or long?

Handles should be long, mostly for historical reasons. But long and
ptr are treated identically so it doesn't really matter if you get it
wrong, except that winapi_check will not be happy.
