Not enough info. What OS? Are the timers implemented by the OS or have ou implemented them?
A handle is just something the computer uses to be able to identify an object. It could be a pointer, or it could just be a number that indexes into a pointer or object table. For example:
1-4 could be considered "handles" in this respect. The exact meaning of handle in your situation will depend on the situation, for example if these are Windows handles as implemented by the WinAPI, then the HANDLEs returned by CreateTimer() et al would count as valid handles that could be returned by your functions, unless for any reason you wanted to obfuscate the actual Windows HANDLE values themselves, in which case you'd want to create a lookup table so that your program could deduce the Windows HANDLE from the handle passed in, e.g.
then your program would get a Windows HANDLE and bung it in this table, return as a handle the lookup value, then on each entry to your library you would take the given handle (1-3) and lookup the actual Windows HANDLE which you would then use to call the Windows function.
Bit rambly but I hope that's clear ;-)
