Process Snapshotting

Overview of the Process Snapshotting technology.

To develop Process Snapshotting, you need these headers:

For programming guidance for this technology, see:

Enumerations

 
PSS_CAPTURE_FLAGS

Flags that specify what PssCaptureSnapshot captures.
PSS_DUPLICATE_FLAGS

Duplication flags for use by PssDuplicateSnapshot.
PSS_HANDLE_FLAGS

Flags to specify what parts of a PSS_HANDLE_ENTRY structure are valid.
PSS_OBJECT_TYPE

Specifies the object type in a PSS_HANDLE_ENTRY structure.
PSS_PROCESS_FLAGS

Flags that describe a process.
PSS_QUERY_INFORMATION_CLASS

Specifies what information PssQuerySnapshot function returns.
PSS_THREAD_FLAGS

Flags that describe a thread.
PSS_WALK_INFORMATION_CLASS

Specifies what information the PssWalkSnapshot function returns.

Functions

 
PssCaptureSnapshot

Captures a snapshot of a target process.
PssDuplicateSnapshot

Duplicates a snapshot handle from one process to another.
PssFreeSnapshot

Frees a snapshot.
PssQuerySnapshot

Queries the snapshot.
PssWalkMarkerCreate

Creates a walk marker.
PssWalkMarkerFree

Frees a walk marker created by PssWalkMarkerCreate.
PssWalkMarkerGetPosition

Returns the current position of a walk marker.
PssWalkMarkerSeekToBeginning

Rewinds a walk marker back to the beginning.
PssWalkMarkerSetPosition

Sets the position of a walk marker.
PssWalkSnapshot

Returns information from the current walk position and advanced the walk marker to the next position.

Structures

 
PSS_ALLOCATOR

Specifies custom functions which the Process Snapshotting functions use to allocate and free the internal walk marker structures.
