Description

The PsSetCreateThreadNotifyRoutine routine registers a driver-supplied callback that is subsequently notified when a new thread is created and when such a thread is deleted.

Parameters

NotifyRoutine [in]

A pointer to the driver's implementation of PCREATE_THREAD_NOTIFY_ROUTINE routine.

Return value

PsSetCreateThreadNotifyRoutine either returns STATUS_SUCCESS or it returns STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES if it failed the callback registration.

Remarks

Highest-level drivers can call PsSetCreateThreadNotifyRoutine to set up their thread-creation notify routines, declared as follows:

VOID
(*PCREATE_THREAD_NOTIFY_ROUTINE) (
    IN HANDLE  ProcessId,
    IN HANDLE  ThreadId,
    IN BOOLEAN  Create
    );

For example, an IFS or highest-level system-profiling driver might register such a thread-creation callback to track the system-wide creation and deletion of threads against the driver's internal state.

A driver must remove any callbacks it registers before it unloads. You can remove the callback by calling the PsRemoveCreateThreadNotifyRoutine routine.
