    From many versions of same program.exe name, how to determine it's arguments

    Hello


    On Visual Studio 11 C++ program, I have the name of a program such as n49.exe. There "might" be several of these programs running. They have different argument lists.

    "argv[]" is useless to me because I want information about other programs running, not mine.

    Again, from my program called "abc.exe", I want to know about the arguments used by "n49.exe" when it started. "n49.exe" could be started before "abc.exe" or afterwards.

    Question: From a non-n49.exe program, how do I determine the argument list for each program such as n49.exe from within a C++ program?


    Thank you,
    Michael

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
