LONG GetPackageFamilyName(
 [in] HANDLE hProcess,
 [in, out] UINT32 *packageFamilyNameLength,
 [out, optional] PWSTR packageFamilyName
);

Parameters

[in] hProcess

Type: HANDLE

A handle to the process that has the PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION or PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION access right. For more information, see Process Security and Access Rights.

[in, out] packageFamilyNameLength

Type: UINT32*

On input, the size of the packageFamilyName buffer, in characters. On output, the size of the package family name returned, in characters, including the null-terminator.

[out, optional] packageFamilyName

Type: PWSTR

The package family name.

Return value

Type: LONG

If the function succeeds it returns ERROR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, the function returns an error code. The possible error codes include the following.

Return code Description
APPMODEL_ERROR_NO_PACKAGE
The process has no package identity.
ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER
The buffer is not large enough to hold the data. The required size is specified by packageFamilyNameLength.
