CeGetThreadPriority	Gets the priority for a real-time thread.
CeGetThreadQuantum	Gets the time quantum for the specified thread.
CeSetThreadPriority	Sets the priority for a real-time thread on a thread by thread basis.
CeSetThreadQuantum	Sets the time quantum for the specified thread.
CeZeroPointer	Converts a pointer that is mapped to a process into an unmapped pointer.
CreateProcess	Runs a new program
CreateThread	Creates a thread to execute within the address space of the calling process.
ExitProcess	Ends a process and all of its threads.
ExitThread	Ends a thread.
FlushInstructionCache	Flushes the instruction cache for the specified process.
GetCommandLine	Returns a pointer to the command-line string for the current process.
GetCurrentProcess	Returns a pseudohandle for the current process.
GetCurrentProcessId	Returns the process identifier of the calling process.
GetCurrentThread	Returns a pseudohandle for the current thread.
GetCurrentThreadId	Returns the thread identifier, which is used as a handle of the calling thread.
