DebugBreakProcess function (winbase.h)
Causes a breakpoint exception to occur in the specified process. This allows the calling thread to signal the debugger to handle the exception.
Syntax
BOOL DebugBreakProcess(
[in] HANDLE Process
);
Parameters
[in] Process
A handle to the process.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If the process is not being debugged, the function uses the search logic of a standard exception handler. In most cases, this causes the process to terminate because of an unhandled breakpoint exception.
