Process Status API (PSAPI)

Overview of the Process Status API (PSAPI) technology.

To develop Process Status API (PSAPI), you need these headers:

For programming guidance for this technology, see:

Functions

 
EmptyWorkingSet

Removes as many pages as possible from the working set of the specified process.
EnumDeviceDrivers

Retrieves the load address for each device driver in the system.
EnumPageFilesA

Calls the callback routine for each installed pagefile in the system. (ANSI)
EnumPageFilesW

Calls the callback routine for each installed pagefile in the system. (Unicode)
EnumProcesses

Retrieves the process identifier for each process object in the system.
EnumProcessModules

Retrieves a handle for each module in the specified process.
EnumProcessModulesEx

Retrieves a handle for each module in the specified process that meets the specified filter criteria.
GetDeviceDriverBaseNameA

Retrieves the base name of the specified device driver. (ANSI)
GetDeviceDriverBaseNameW

Retrieves the base name of the specified device driver. (Unicode)
GetDeviceDriverFileNameA

Retrieves the path available for the specified device driver. (ANSI)
GetDeviceDriverFileNameW

Retrieves the path available for the specified device driver. (Unicode)
GetMappedFileNameA

Checks whether the specified address is within a memory-mapped file in the address space of the specified process. If so, the function returns the name of the memory-mapped file. (ANSI)
GetMappedFileNameW

Checks whether the specified address is within a memory-mapped file in the address space of the specified process. If so, the function returns the name of the memory-mapped file. (Unicode)
GetModuleBaseNameA

Retrieves the base name of the specified module. (ANSI)
GetModuleBaseNameW

Retrieves the base name of the specified module. (Unicode)
GetModuleFileNameExA

Retrieves the fully qualified path for the file containing the specified module. (ANSI)
GetModuleFileNameExW

Retrieves the fully qualified path for the file containing the specified module. (Unicode)
GetModuleInformation

Retrieves information about the specified module in the MODULEINFO structure.
GetPerformanceInfo

Retrieves the performance values contained in the PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION structure.
GetProcessImageFileNameA

Retrieves the name of the executable file for the specified process. (ANSI)
GetProcessImageFileNameW

Retrieves the name of the executable file for the specified process. (Unicode)
GetProcessMemoryInfo

Retrieves information about the memory usage of the specified process.
GetWsChanges

Retrieves information about the pages that have been added to the working set of the specified process since the last time this function or the InitializeProcessForWsWatch function was called.
GetWsChangesEx

Retrieves extended information about the pages that have been added to the working set of the specified process since the last time this function or the InitializeProcessForWsWatch function was called.
InitializeProcessForWsWatch

Initiates monitoring of the working set of the specified process.
PENUM_PAGE_FILE_CALLBACKA

An application-defined callback function used with the EnumPageFiles function. (ANSI)
PENUM_PAGE_FILE_CALLBACKW

An application-defined callback function used with the EnumPageFiles function. (Unicode)
QueryWorkingSet

Retrieves information about the pages currently added to the working set of the specified process.
QueryWorkingSetEx

Retrieves extended information about the pages at specific virtual addresses in the address space of the specified process.
