OpenProcess info  Overview  Group

The OpenProcess function returns a handle of an existing process object.

HANDLE OpenProcess(

    DWORD dwDesiredAccess,

// access flag

    BOOL bInheritHandle,

// handle inheritance flag

    DWORD dwProcessId 

// process identifier

   );

Parameters

dwDesiredAccess
Specifies the access to the process object. For operating systems that support security checking, this access is checked against any security descriptor for the target process. Any combination of the following access flags can be specified in addition to the STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED access flags:

Access

Description

PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS

Specifies all possible access flags for the process object.

PROCESS_CREATE_PROCESS

Used internally.

PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD

Enables using the process handle in the CreateRemoteThread function to create a thread in the process.

PROCESS_DUP_HANDLE

Enables using the process handle as either the source or target process in the DuplicateHandle function to duplicate a handle.

PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION

Enables using the process handle in the GetExitCodeProcess and GetPriorityClass functions to read information from the process object.

PROCESS_SET_INFORMATION

Enables using the process handle in the SetPriorityClass function to set the priority class of the process.

PROCESS_TERMINATE

Enables using the process handle in the TerminateProcess function to terminate the process.

PROCESS_VM_OPERATION

Enables using the process handle in the VirtualProtectEx and WriteProcessMemory functions to modify the virtual memory of the process.

PROCESS_VM_READ

Enables using the process handle in the ReadProcessMemory function to read from the virtual memory of the process.

PROCESS_VM_WRITE

Enables using the process handle in the WriteProcessMemory function to write to the virtual memory of the process.

SYNCHRONIZE

Windows NT only: Enables using the process handle in any of the wait functions to wait for the process to terminate.

bInheritHandle
Specifies whether the returned handle can be inherited by a new process created by the current process. If TRUE, the handle is inheritable.
dwProcessId
Specifies the process identifier of the process to open.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle of the specified process.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The handle returned by the OpenProcess function can be used in any function that requires a handle to a process, such as the wait functions, provided the appropriate access rights were requested.

When you are finished with the handle, be sure to close it using the CloseHandle function.
