async handle

[determin1st]

as i understand correctly, the handle that is obtained with CreateFileA('CONOUT$', ...) is the inherited handle from ConEmu. The question is - does it depend on ConEmu to allow asynchronous operations with for example WriteFileEx? running on Windows 7, WriteFileEx gives me the "incorrect descriptor" error code, which means the handle issue. doing WriteFile is fine but it does write synchronously

oke, ive tested again, the windows version 6.1 (win7) conhost.exe doesnt support async writing,
win10's conhost supports, both with or without ConEmu. so ConEmu doesnt obstruct async writing in win7 as i previously thought, it just a feature of system's conhost
