This is the documentation for a snapshot of the develop branch, built from commit 17ecc7cb39.

windows::basic_overlapped_handle::lowest_layer (1 of 2 overloads)

Get a reference to the lowest layer.

lowest_layer_type & lowest_layer();

This function returns a reference to the lowest layer in a stack of layers. Since an overlapped_handle cannot contain any further layers, it simply returns a reference to itself.

Return Value

A reference to the lowest layer in the stack of layers. Ownership is not transferred to the caller.
