GETSTDIN function

Purpose

Return the handle of the initial standard input device.

Syntax

hStdIn& = GETSTDIN

Remarks

The standard input handle can be used with some Win32 API calls.  It can also be used with the OPEN HANDLE statement, if you wish to treat the keyboard as a file.  You should use CONSIN to determine if file or device redirection is in effect.
