get_originator_process_id Method

Retrieves the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation.

Syntax

def get_originator_process_id() -> int: ...

Remarks

This method can be called within the on_file_password_needed event to retrieve the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation. If the query fails, this method returns 0.

Please note that PIDs are not unique, and may be reused by different processes over time (though in practice, this is uncommon).

CBDrive/Windows-specific: Applications cannot use this method to retrieve information about remote processes accessing virtual drives shared on the network. Windows does not provide such information due to the nature of remote access.
