GetProcessGroupAffinity function (processtopologyapi.h)
Retrieves the processor group affinity of the specified process.
Syntax
BOOL GetProcessGroupAffinity(
[in] HANDLE hProcess,
[in, out] PUSHORT GroupCount,
[out] PUSHORT GroupArray
);
Parameters
[in] hProcess
A handle to the process.
This handle must have the PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION or PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION access right. For more information, see Process Security and Access Rights.
[in, out] GroupCount
On input, specifies the number of elements in GroupArray array. On output, specifies the number of processor groups written to the array. If the array is too small, the function fails with ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER and sets the GroupCount parameter to the number of elements required.
[out] GroupArray
An array of processor group numbers. A group number is included in the array if a thread in the process is assigned to a processor in the group.
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, use GetLastError.
If the error value is ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER, the GroupCount parameter contains the required buffer size in number of elements.
Remarks
Starting with Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022, on a system with more than 64 processors, process and thread affinities span all processors in the system, across all processor groups, by default.
To compile an application that uses this function, set _WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0601. For more information, see Using the Windows Headers.
