* Queues an Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) to a specified thread.
*
* @param ThreadHandle A handle to the thread to which the APC is to be queued.
* @param ReserveHandle An optional handle to a reserve object. This can be obtained using NtAllocateReserveObject.
* @param ApcFlags Flags that control the behavior of the APC. These flags are defined in QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS.
* @param ApcRoutine A pointer to the RtlDispatchAPC function or custom APC routine to be executed.
* @param ApcArgument1 An optional argument to be passed to the APC routine.
* @param ApcArgument2 An optional argument to be passed to the APC routine.
* @param ApcArgument3 An optional argument to be passed to the APC routine.
* @return NTSTATUS Successful or errant status.
* @remarks The APC will be executed in the context of the specified thread when the thread enters an alertable wait state or immediately
* when QUEUE_USER_APC_SPECIAL_USER_APC is used or any process calls the NtTestAlert, NtAlertThread,
* NtAlertResumeThread or NtAlertThreadByThreadId functions.

Queues a user-mode Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) on the specified thread.
ThreadHandle
- a handle the the thread granting the THREAD_SET_CONTEXT
access.ReserveHandle
- an optional handle to the reserve object (see NtAllocateReserveObject
) to avoid memory allocations.ApcFlags
- the flags that control properties of the APC.ApcRoutine
- the address of the function to invoke.ApcArgument1
- the first argument to pass to the APC routine.ApcArgument2
- the second argument to pass to the APC routine.ApcArgument3
- the third argument to pass to the APC routine.QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_NONE
- indicates that none of the flags listed below are used. The behavior defaults to regular APCs that require the thread to first enter an alertable wait via NtDelayExecution
(or a similar function) or call NtTestAlert
.QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_SPECIAL_USER_APC
- queue a special user-mode APC that does not require the thread to enter an alertable state. The APC will be executed on the next thread's transition to user mode.QUEUE_USER_APC_FLAGS_CALLBACK_DATA_CONTEXT
- let the callback routine receive the context (set of registers) that was interrupted when the thread was directed to call the APC function.To queue a WoW64 APC, encode the ApcRoutine
parameter using the Wow64EncodeApcRoutine
macro or use RtlQueueApcWow64Thread
.
Note that user APCs on the Native API level have three parameters in contrast with the Win32 APCs that only have one.
This function was introduced in Windows 11.
