KProcessHandleTable info struct:

Offset Type Description
0x0 HandleData* Pointer to the process's handle table.
0x4 s16 The max number of handles that can be open at once - usually 0x200.
0x6 s16 The highest count of handles that have been open at once
0x8 HandleData* Pointer to the next open HandleData entry in the handle table.
0xC s16 Total handles used by this KProcess.
0xE s16 The current number of handles in use.
0x10 KThread* Thread that is running the current code
0x14 s16 Unknown
0x16 s16 Unknown
0x18 HandleData[0x28] This small handle data table, internal to the KProcess, is only used in certain processes that don't have an external handle data table in FCRAM. It is all zeros in most processes.


HandleData struct:

Offset Type Description
0x0 u32 Handle info
0x4 u32 Pointer to the kernel object that the handle references.

The handle info u32 works as such:

The high byte is a remainder from the pointer to the next entry that originally occupied the handle table entry. It is unused. Byte 2 is either the class type token starting with firmware version 9.0 or the lowest byte of the char* that points to the class type name in firmware versions below 9.0. The lower halfword is the handle number of the current handle taken from the total handle count for the KProcess that owns the table.

On table creation, each entry in the handle data table is populated with a pointer to the next entry in the table. When a new handle is created, that pointer is moved into offset 0x8 of the KProcessHandleTable info struct to use for generation of the next handle.

The final handle that gets returned when a handle is created is (handle_index | (handle_total << 15)), basically they take the index into the handle data table and OR that with the total handle count << 15. This returned value is the one that gets passed back to the running application and is used to look up the HandleData entry in the table.
