Syntax
HANDLE GetCurrentProcess(void);
Return Values
A pseudohandle to the current process indicates success.
Remarks
A pseudohandle is a special constant that is interpreted as the current process handle. The calling process can use this handle to specify its own process whenever a process handle is required.
This handle has the maximum possible access to the process object. A process can also use the OpenProcess function to open a real handle to itself.
The pseudohandle need not be closed when it is no longer needed. Calling the CloseHandle function with a pseudohandle has no effect.
