TerminateProcess
The TerminateProcess function terminates the specified process and all of its threads.
BOOL TerminateProcess(
HANDLE hProcess,
| // handle to the process
| UINT uExitCode
| // exit code for the process
| );
|
|
Parameters
hProcess
Identifies the process to terminate.
Windows NT: The handle must have PROCESS_TERMINATE access. For more information, see Process Objects.
uExitCode
Specifies the exit code for the process and for all threads terminated as a
result of this call. Use the GetExitCodeProcess function to retrieve the process's exit value. Use the GetExitCodeThread function to retrieve a thread's exit value.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The TerminateProcess function is used to unconditionally cause a process to exit. Use it only in
extreme circumstances. The state of global data maintained by dynamic-link
libraries (DLLs) may be compromised if TerminateProcess is used rather than ExitProcess.
TerminateProcess causes all threads within a process to terminate, and causes a process to
exit, but DLLs attached to the process are not notified that the process is
terminating.
Terminating a process causes the following:
- All of the object handles opened by the process are closed.
- All of the threads in the process terminate their execution.
- The state of the process object becomes signaled, satisfying any threads that
had been waiting for the process to terminate.
- The states of all threads of the process become signaled, satisfying any
threads that had been waiting for the threads to terminate.
- The termination status of the process changes from STILL_ACTIVE to the exit
value of the process.
Terminating a process does not cause child processes to be terminated.
Terminating a process does not necessarily remove the process object from the
system. A process object is deleted when the last handle to the process is
closed.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
