The same handles are used in both messages. This works because libc destroys the first message and closes its handles before reading the second one, so only one copy of each handle will exist in the new process at one time.

About The Project
Photon is a standard C library for Magenta-based systems. Photon is designed to abstract different Magenta-specific designs, such as handles and IPC-based file operations, into a standard interface compatible with regular C programs.
Getting Started
To build photon, follow these steps.
Prerequisites
There's some software you'll need to install before you can compile photon.
- CMake 3.5
Usage
With GCC, a program can be compiled with -ffreestanding -nostdlib to disable linking to the system's C runtime.
From there, you can link with photon to use it as your C library instead.
Roadmap
See the open issues for a list of proposed features (and known issues).
