API Progamming

[David Shaw]

I am studying API programming using C++ and am seeking a away to pass data
to a child program opened
using CreateProcess. I would appreciate being told whether this is possible
and where I can find information on this area of programming.

If you feel like experiencing a unique, chronic agony, you can research how
MS implements piping systems, like _popen() or popen3().

Regardless, you must post questions about the _MS_Windows_API _ to a
newsgroup qualified to answer questions about it. Use Google Groups to find
one. This newsgroup can only discuss C++.

That looks like a Windows function. Try

microsoft.publi c.vc.language

or for documentation on all aspects of Windows:

<Digression>
API is a generic term; an API is a set of functions, types, constants,
etc. designed to program applications for a given system. There is an
OpenGL API, a Win32 API, a DirectX API, just to name a few.

'CreateProcess' belongs to the Win32 API (maybe others), so you're
actually studying Win32 programming.

The standard way to exchange data between programs is with files. Common
non-standard ways include memory-mapped files to get shared memory, or
pipes and sockets.
