Yes, "Win32 API function" would be correct, but I followed the existing code...

The only place is CreateFileMapping. Other places (DuplicateHandle and MapViewOfFileEx) don't log arguments. I guess

I saw several Microsoft pages, including a page someone introduced me here, and they didn't quote the user right. I'm
comfortablewith the current code, but I don't mind if the committer adds some quotation.
