DetourIsHelperProcess
Check if the current process is a helper process or a target process.
Definition
BOOL DetourIsHelperProcess(VOID);
Return value
Returns true if this process is a helper process.
Returns false if this process is a target process.
Remarks
When creating a 32-bit target process from a 64-bit parent process or
creating a 64-bit target process from a 32-bit parent process,
the
DetourCreateProcessWithDllEx API must create a temporary
helper process. It loads a copy of the user-supplied DLL into the
helper process using the rundll32.exe mechanism.
The user-supplied DLL should call DetourIsHelperProcess within
its DllMain function to determine if it has been loaded
into a helper process or into a target process.
When a user-supplied DLL is loaded into a helper process, it must not
detour any functions.
Instead, it should perform no operations in DllMain. The
user-supplied DLL must also export the
DetourFinishHelperProcess API as its Ordinal 1 export function.
