PrfQueryProgramHandle

This function is used to obtain a handle for the requested executable file.

Syntax

PrfQueryProgramHandle (HINI hini, PCSZ pszExe, PHPROGARRAY phprogArray, ULONG cchBufferMax, PULONG pulCount) 

Parameters

hini (HINI) - input

The initialization file handle

pszExe (PSZ) - input

Pointer to the executable file name string

phprogArray (PHPROGARRAY) - input

Pointer to array to receive program handles

cchBufferMax (ULONG) - input

The size of handles array

pulCount (PULONG) - input

The address at which to store the handles returned count

Returns

ulLength (ULONG) - return

Returns a program handle.

Remarks

Gets a list of the program handles associated with a given executable file name. This tells a caller if, and where, a given executable file is referenced in the program list.

The entries for the installed program list are kept in the OS2.INI file. They can therefore be accessed using the installation file function calls.
