Perhaps the functions in System.Posix.IO do what you want?
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/unix/2.4.2.0/doc/html/System-Posix-IO.html.
The equivalent on the Win32 side is CreateFile:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Win32/2.2.0.2/doc/html/System-Win32-File.html

There is a way to create a Handle from a Fd
(http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/GHC-IO-Handle-FD.html#v:fdToHandle),
but I'm not sure if there is an equivalent to build a Handle from a
Win32 HANDLE...

Hope those pointers help...
