support this service.
This interface is supported for multi-tasking
environments, where more than one process (or task)
may be executing in the system. Usually the
operating system will supply the handler for this
service; this way, the operating system can keep
track of which process is using each device on the
system.
The operating system will use this service to
discontinue the use of a device by all processes
currently using the device.
