Abstract
A system, method and interface for consistently capturing kernel resident information are provided. An operating system architecture includes user mode modules and kernel mode applications. A user mode module initiates a kernel mode information request through an application program interface identifying one or more process threads of interest. A kernel mode module captures information corresponding to standard kernel mode information and corresponding to the specifically identified process threads. The information is returned in a pre-allocated buffer.
