Get process info

Description

Get process info by process id

• Parent pid
• Priority
• process name

Usage

!include GetProcessInfo.nsh
 
OutFile GetProcessInfo.exe
 
Section
 ;get own process info
 ${GetProcessInfo} 0 $0 $1 $2 $3
 DetailPrint "pid=$0 parent_pid=$1 priority=$2 name=$3"
 
 ;and now get parent process info!
 ${GetProcessInfo} $1 $0 $1 $2 $3
 DetailPrint "pid=$0 parent_pid=$1 priority=$2 name=$3"
