using C -programming, how to get process name from process id on windows

Question

i'm having process id from Task manager, i need to get the process name (complete with extension) from it. is it possible? i checked other questions, they are mostly command based.

If they are command based, why don't you run .cmd from a C module? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19209141/how-do-i-execute-a-shell-built-in-command-with-a-c-function — Confidenc3, Jul 14 '20 at 10:37

Do you mean 'get the .exe filename by process ID' from C code?

If so, you may have interesting in OpenProcess() and following GetModuleFileNameEx(). Don't forget to CloseHandle() after you get the exe filename. :)

thanks for the pointers, calling GetModuleBaseName() before CloseHandle(), seems answer for the query. – Kittu Jul 15 '20 at 13:29
