  • What DLL is processthreadsapi/GetCurrentProcessId located in?

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 18 01:46:58 2022
    Hi All,

    I am trying to make from Raku a call to


    GetCurrentProcessId function (processthreadsapi.h)

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-getcurrentprocessid

    Raku's compiler does not liek

    sub GetCurrentProcessId()
    is native("processthreadsapi")
    is symbol("GetCurrentProcessId")
    returns DWORD
    { * };

    It can't find "processthreadsapi.dll".

    What dll is GetCurrentProcessId located in?

    Many thanks,
    -T

    That's the C header file containing its definition.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-getcurrentprocessid

    It can't find "processthreadsapi.dll".

    Because it's not a DLL

    What dll is GetCurrentProcessId located in?

    kernel32.dll - it says so in the MS docs above.

    Its located in Kernel32.dll

    Next time when you want to figure it out you could do worse than to search "learn.microsoft.com" for it (perhaps like this : "site:learn.microsoft.com GetCurrentProcessId". Works for several search engines, not just Google),
    and than, on the returned MS webpage, look at the "Requirements" box at the bottom. It mostly has a "DLL" entry.
