The type of parameter is described by the bits 1-3 in the translation descriptor. Parameter types accepted for sending by the kernel are: 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7.

Type 0 is used to send handles across processes:
Type 0 is used to send handles across processes. The corresponding translation descriptor looks as follows:

! Bits
! Description
|-
| 4
| If set, the handle is closed for the caller. Ignored if bit5 is set.
|-
| 5
| If set, the process ID is written to value. Otherwise, translate the handle between client and server.

For replies, only 0, 1, 5, 6, 7 are allowed. In other words any type 2 fields must be zeroed before calling svcReplyAndReceive on the server-side. For replies, type 0, 1, and 2 are ignored. Types 5, 6, and 7 do something with the mem pointer upon reply. The type 0 descriptor can be used to ignore parameters. The number of parameters covered by a type-0 descriptor is (desc >> 26) + 1.
