====== LocalHandle ======
==== Brief ====
Retrieves the handle associated with a given pointer to a local memory object.

==== Syntax ====
<code c>HLOCAL WINAPI LocalHandle(
LPCVOID pMem
);</code>

==== Parameters ====

pMem – Pointer to a memory block inside the local heap (returned by LocalLock).

==== Return Value ====

Returns the handle of the object, or NULL if the pointer does not belong to the local heap. Call GetLastError.

==== Notes ====

This function is the inverse of LocalLock.

Useful when you only have a pointer and need the handle for other operations (e.g., LocalFlags, LocalSize).

==== Example Code ====
==== C Binding ====
<code c>HLOCAL h = LocalHandle(pData);</code>
==== MASM Binding ====
<code asm>push p
call LocalHandle</code>
