3: SERVICE_STATUS

Summary

The SERVICE_STATUS structure contains information about a service. The ControlService, EnumDependentServices, EnumServicesStatus, and QueryServiceStatus functions use this structure to return information about a service. A service uses this structure in the SetServiceStatus function to report its current status to the service control manager.

See ControlService for SERVICE_STATE definition.
