How to get file handle by path?

Question

Sometimes during debugging I need to get handle value for known object (file or dll) opened by debugee. It can help to find who holds this handle.

How can I achieve that?

@Son_of_Sam, please don't do such edits. Do you know difference between debugee and debugger? Do you know what is handle in WinAPI? I reverted your inappropriate edit. — magras, Feb 01 '16 at 11:04
