wine users - Dec 2008 - CreateProcess for Unix binaries

The CreateProcess function sets a lpProcessInformation field. This field is set
when a Windows process is called, but erased when a Unix binary (e.g. /bin/sleep
2) is called, so the hprocess handle is unknown. Is there a way to obtain this
process handle so that GetExitCodeProcess can be called? I basically want to
know when the called process has exited.

Thanks

Native *NIX processes won't have process handle - they are run outside Wine.

The only thing you can use is a standard UNIX mechanism - get PID of the child
process then do waitpid() on it. Of course for that you need winelib app so it
can call system's waitpid() and not Wine'a msvcrt one.
