GetHandleCreatorProcessName Method

Retrieves the name of the process that opened the specified file handle.

Syntax

cbfs.getHandleCreatorProcessName(handleInfo, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method can be called within certain events to retrieve the name of the process that opened the file handle specified by HandleInfo. The value to pass for HandleInfo should be obtained directly from the event. If the query fails, this method returns empty string.

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.

Note: This method can only be called within events that expose a HandleInfo parameter, and must be called in the same thread that the event was originally fired on.
