IDebugSystemObjects::GetCurrentProcessPeb method (dbgeng.h)

  • Article

The GetCurrentProcessPeb method returns the process environment block (PEB) of the current process.

Syntax

HRESULT GetCurrentProcessPeb(
  [out] PULONG64 Offset
);

Parameters

[out] Offset

Receives the location in the target's virtual address space of the PEB of the current process.

Return value

This method may also return error values. See Return Values for more details.

Return code Description
S_OK
 The method was successful.

Remarks

In user-mode debugging, this method provides the same information as GetCurrentProcessDataOffset.

In kernel-mode debugging, the location returned is that of the PEB structure for the system process in which the last event occurred.

Note   In kernel mode, the current process of the target is always the single virtual process the debugger engine created for the kernel. However, because events may occur in different system processes, the PEB location returned by this method may change.
