mti_RestoreProcess()

Restores a process that was created by mti_CreateProcess().

Syntax

mti_RestoreProcess( process_id, name, func, param ) 

Returns

Nothing

Arguments

Name
Type
Description
process_id
mtiProcessIdT
A handle to a process created by mti_CreateProcess()
name
char *
The name of the process as specified to mti_CreateProcess()
func
mtiVoidFuncPtrT
The callback function as specified to mti_CreateProcess()
param
void *
The parameter as specified to mti_CreateProcess()

Description

mti_RestoreProcess() restores a process that was created by mti_CreateProcess(). The first parameter is the handle to the process that was returned from the original call to mti_CreateProcess(). The remaining parameters are the same parameters as in the original call to mti_CreateProcess().

mti_RestoreProcess() must be called to restore each process that was created by mti_CreateProcess() as the callback function address may be different after a restore.
