Set Color Explanation

[mainframe639]

Can you explain this code:

void setcolor(unsigned short color)                 
{                                                   
    HANDLE hcon = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
    SetConsoleTextAttribute(hcon,color);
}

This function is use to change the color of texts (ex. setcolor (10) ). I want to memorize this but before doing that, I need first to understand the dissection of that code. Can you help me?

This belongs into Windows programming.
