Structures

4: ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS

Summary

The ENUM_SERVICE_STATUS structure is used by the EnumDependentServices and EnumServicesStatus functions to return the name of a service in a service control manager database and to return information about that service.

5: 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.
