Yeah, as Xianfan states, its not possible with this or any other
similar libarary. You cannot handover handles to
resources/devices/files from one application to another. That would be
a major security hole if you could. Most O/S only allow this is very
limited form.

You can solve it using pipes or sockets. Pipes and sockets are easy to
create. This even adds the flixibity of working across networks.

Thanks,
