Did you figure this todo out?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
nope, i wasn't able to track it down in the docs or code
i figured we can dig into it in the future, when we clean up the code paths here (and move most of the code to dedicated pkg/pipe dir?)

Where ever possible, use `golang.org/x/sys/windows` instead of `syscall` (which has been deprecated since go1.11). Using `windows.LocalFree` requires using `unsafe.Pointer`, which ensures that the Go garbage collector does not try to free memory pre-maturely if it was previously declared as a pointer. Since `syscall.Handle` is part of API for `vhd` package, it was left unchanged. For security descriptor functions, switch to using `windows.SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR` to avoid unnecessary byte manipulation and panics due to missing input validation and error checking.
