    typename HandleService>
class basic_handle :
  public basic_io_object< HandleService >

Name	Description
implementation_type	The underlying implementation type of I/O object.
lowest_layer_type	A basic_handle is always the lowest layer.
native_handle_type	The native representation of a handle.
native_type	(Deprecated: Use native_handle_type.) The native representation of a handle.
service_type	The type of the service that will be used to provide I/O operations.

Name	Description
assign	Assign an existing native handle to the handle.
basic_handle	Construct a basic_handle without opening it. Construct a basic_handle on an existing native handle. Move-construct a basic_handle from another.
cancel	Cancel all asynchronous operations associated with the handle.
close	Close the handle.
get_io_service	Get the io_service associated with the object.
is_open	Determine whether the handle is open.
lowest_layer	Get a reference to the lowest layer. Get a const reference to the lowest layer.
native	(Deprecated: Use native_handle().) Get the native handle representation.
native_handle	Get the native handle representation.
operator=	Move-assign a basic_handle from another.

Name	Description
get_implementation	Get the underlying implementation of the I/O object.
get_service	Get the service associated with the I/O object.
~basic_handle	Protected destructor to prevent deletion through this type.

Name	Description
implementation	(Deprecated: Use get_implementation().) The underlying implementation of the I/O object.
service	(Deprecated: Use get_service().) The service associated with the I/O object.
