description:

The standard lifetime clone routines corresponding to seGetXXX. See Lifetimes for the standard ScriptEase lifetime rules which these functions are a part of.

These calls produce a duplicate of the item. The duplicate and the original handle refer to the same item but are independent. For instance, freeing one of the handles means that handle can no longer be used, but the other handle is still valid until it to is freed.
