+a handle to an existing global Kernel object</title><shortdesc>This document describes how to find a global kernel object by using
+a handle.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>A handle can be opened on an existing global Kernel object.</p>
+<p>Global Kernel objects are explicitly named by their creators; the technique
+for finding these objects involves using a search pattern to search for objects
+with matching full names. The <codeph>TFindHandleBase</codeph> provides the
+basic behavior.</p>
+<p>In practice, each specific type has its own class derived from <codeph>TFindHandleBase</codeph>,
+for example, semaphores have <codeph>TFindSemaphore</codeph>, mutexes have <codeph>TFindMutex</codeph> and
+so on.</p>
+<p>For example, the following code fragment searches for the first global
+semaphore whose full name ends with the characters "day" and opens a thread-relative
+handle on that semaphore:</p>
+<codeblock id="GUID-C1C801A9-4B15-5369-8007-17BB7DC3E0A9" xml:space="preserve">_LIT(KDay,"*day");
+...
+TFindSemaphore finder(KDay); // derived from TFindHandleBase
+TFullName theName;
+RSemaphore theSem; // derived from RHandleBase
+...
+if ((finder.Next(thename))==KErrNone)
+ {
+ theSem.Open(finder,EOwnerThread);
+ ...
+ }
+...
+</codeblock>
