how does procexp close a mutex held by another process?

Question

I am trying to close a mutex that is being held by a process on Windows using Win32 functions. This can be done using procexp but I need to do it programmatically without us

Just adding a complete answer. I had to add the following the following code to handles.cpp after the mutex is recognized:

     HANDLE realHandle;  
     ret = DuplicateHandle(processHandle, (HANDLE)handle.Handle, GetCurrentProcess(), &realHandle, 0, TRUE, DUPLICATE_CLOSE_SOURCE);  

         if(!ret)  
               printf("DuplicateHandle Problem!");  

         if (!CloseHandle(realHandle))  
    {  
      printf("Problem closing the copied handle");  
    }  
    printf("", realHandle);  
  }
