获取对应进程的内存使用情况（GetProcessMemoryInfo）



Retrieves information about the memory usage of the specified process.

Syntax

C++

Copy

BOOL WINAPI GetProcessMemoryInfo(
  _In_  HANDLE                   Process,
  _Out_ PPROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS ppsmemCounters,
  _In_  DWORD                    cb
);

Parameters

Process [in]

A handle to the process. The handle must have the PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION or PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION access right and the PROCESS_VM_READ access right. For more information, see Process Security and Access Rights.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP:  The handle must have the PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION and PROCESS_VM_READ access rights.

ppsmemCounters [out]

A pointer to the PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS or PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS_EX structure that receives information about the memory usage of the process.

cb [in]

The size of the ppsmemCounters structure, in bytes.

Return value

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

Starting with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, Psapi.h establishes version numbers for the PSAPI functions. The PSAPI version number affects the name used to call the function and the library that a program must load.

If PSAPI_VERSION is 2 or greater, this function is defined as K32GetProcessMemoryInfo in Psapi.h and exported in Kernel32.lib and Kernel32.dll. If PSAPI_VERSION is 1, this function is defined as GetProcessMemoryInfo in Psapi.h and exported in Psapi.lib and Psapi.dll as a wrapper that calls K32GetProcessMemoryInfo.

Programs that must run on earlier versions of Windows as well as Windows 7 and later versions should always call this function as GetProcessMemoryInfo. To ensure correct resolution of symbols, add Psapi.lib to the TARGETLIBS macro and compile the program with -DPSAPI_VERSION=1. To use run-time dynamic linking, load Psapi.dll.

Examples

For an example, see Collecting Memory Usage Information for a Process.

Requirements

Minimum supported client	Windows XP [desktop apps only]
Minimum supported server	Windows Server 2003 [desktop apps only]
Header	Psapi.h
Library	Kernel32.lib on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2; Psapi.lib (if PSAPI_VERSION=1) on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2; Psapi.lib on Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP
DLL	Kernel32.dll on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2; Psapi.dll (if PSAPI_VERSION=1) on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2; Psapi.dll on Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP

Flag PROCESS_VM_READ is redundant for successful call of GetProcessMemoryInfo

I've tested it under WinXP SP3 x86, Win7 SP1 x86, Win7 SP1 x64, Win8 x86. At all tested platforms GetProcessMemoryInfo was successful with the handle having only PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION access right (XP) or PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION (others).
This detail is essential because of existing Protected Processes in WinVista+. These processes (System (PID 4) and audiodg.exe for example) can't be OpenProcess'ed with PROCESS_VM_READ access right. But if I open them with PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION only, successive calls of GetProcessMemoryInfo give me all info I need.
