Ehandle represents one particular entity in the map. Benefit of ehandle IO is that an output of type ehandle can give an input of type ehandle the entity directly without the entity having to have a targetname. (other inputs can still achieve that by utilizing activator/caller and special targetnames)

Note:If string is passed to an input taking ehandle parameter it's converted to ehandle by simply searching for the first entity with such name it finds. (see IO type conversions#Conversion from string)

Wiki Note:ehandle type is shown on entity pages as <targetname*> (notice * symbol)
