Performance:Process

Method

 

Purpose

This method (on Microsoft Windows) returns information on a process (a program or group of threads).

Remarks

The methods Performance:Process and Process:getProcess can seem similar, but return different data. Performance:Process returns all Instances of Process Object from the Performance Data Helper (PDH) library.

Invoking Performance:process without any arguments retrieves all Process instances in effect at that point in time. In contrast, invoking Process:getProcess without any arguments returns all currently running processes from the PSAPI.lib. This method only lists processes that have the right to access this library. Do not confuse these methods.

For a full description of this method and accompanying help text, refer to the help text provided by method invocation.
