// In header: <boost/process/handles.hpp>


std::vector< native_handle_type > get_handles();

Description

Get a snapshot of all handles of the process (i.e. file descriptors on posix and handles on windows) of the current process.

[Note] Note

This function might not work on certain posix systems.

[Note] Note

On Windows version older than windows 8 this function will iterate all the system handles, meaning it might be quite slow.

Returns:

The list of all open handles of the current process
