    HANDLE hObject
);

Remarks

RtCloseHandle closes handles to the following Process objects:

• Event
• Interrupts
• Mutex
• Semaphore
• Shared memory
• Shutdown handler
• Timers

RtCloseHandle invalidates the specified object handle, decrements the object's handle count, and performs object retention checks. Once the last handle to an object is closed, the object is removed from the operating system.
