- * Note that the OS can recycle HANDLE (numbers) just like it
- * recycles fd (numbers), so we must update the cached value
- * of "console". You can use GetFileType() to see that
- * handle and _get_osfhandle(fd) may have the same number
- * value, but they refer to different actual files now.
+ * Note that we need to update the cached console handle to the
+ * duplicated one because the dup2() call will implicitly close
+ * the original one.
*
* Note that dup2() when given target := {0,1,2} will also
* call SetStdHandle(), so we don't need to worry about that.
