Question

hello everyone I have some problem with understanding this piece of the code:

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()

process_id, return_value = c.Win32_Process.Create (CommandLine="notepad.exe")
for process in c.Win32_Process (ProcessId=process_id):
  print process.ProcessId, process.Name

result = process.Terminate ()

I can’t understand

(CommandLine="notepad.exe")

how exactly this mechanism is working? and where can I find definition of the CommandLine
thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

It is sent as part of **kwargs of def new (self, **kwargs): as you can see in the wmi.py. The convention is always what Microsoft has defined for the process creation and you can find that in the MSDN documentation.
