Many C API functions return a typedef which is referred to as a handle. E.g.
OGRFeatureHOGRLayerHOGRGeometryH
These seem to occur when the C++ api returns a pointer.I have 3 questions:
Why doesnt the C API return pointers?
How should I pass these 'handles' around. Should I create pointers to them?
Do I need to free them?
