RE: poslib port for Win32 platforms?

["Dirk Ringe" <dirk.ringe@...>]

The sysinternals guys are famous for knowing the windows nt kernel from the
inside out (without ever having seen the source!). Many of their tools
install device drivers to get all the needed information.
But that doesn't mean that there in not a valid call in user mode to get
this information.

But, there must be some way to do it, since there are
programs tha list the hole process hierachy available from
microsoft and other sources (Sysinternals, www.sysinternals.com)
