Module process 

Process operations and management.

This module provides ergonomic access to Windows process APIs including:

• Opening and querying processes
• Reading PEB (Process Environment Block) data
• Enumerating threads and modules
• Process tree operations
• Memory information

Examples

Opening and querying a process

use windows_erg::process::{Process, ProcessId};

let process = Process::open(ProcessId::new(1234))?;
println!("Process name: {}", process.name()?);
println!("Process path: {}", process.path()?.display());

Reading PEB data

use windows_erg::process::Process;

let process = Process::current();
println!("Command line: {}", process.command_line()?);

let env = process.environment()?;
for (key, value) in env {
    println!("{} = {}", key, value);
}

Listing all processes

use windows_erg::process::Process;

let processes = Process::list()?;
for proc in processes {
    println!("{}: {}", proc.pid, proc.name);
}

Using buffer reuse for performance

use windows_erg::process::Process;

let processes = Process::list()?;
let mut buffer = Vec::with_capacity(8192);

for proc_info in processes {
    if let Ok(process) = Process::open(proc_info.pid) {
        if let Ok(cmd) = process.command_line_with_buffer(&mut buffer) {
            println!("{}: {}", proc_info.name, cmd);
        }
    }
}

Process tree operations

use windows_erg::process::{Process, ProcessId};

// Kill a process and all its children
let process = Process::open(ProcessId::new(1234))?;
process.kill_tree()?;

// Or kill entire tree from root ancestor
Process::kill_tree_from_root(ProcessId::new(1234))?;
