GetProcessName Method

Retrieves the name of the process associated with the specified process ID (PID).

Syntax

cbprocess.getProcessName(processId, [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 retrieves the name of the process with the specified ProcessId (PID). If such a process currently exists, this method returns the fully-qualified name of its executable; otherwise, it returns empty string.

Note that the System process does not technically have a name; passing its PID to this method will cause empty string to be returned.
