GetOriginatorProcessId Method
Retrieves the Id of the process (PID) that initiated the operation.
Syntax
cbdrive.getOriginatorProcessId([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 the FilePasswordNeeded 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.
