PicoProcesses

NTDEV

Is there anywhere I can find some sort of concrete API for PicoProcesses? I
realize these are used in the Linux subsystem, but I can’t seem to find any
documentation.

Documentation? Not that I know of.

Please post back if you find anything… Either official or unofficial stuff will be appreciated.

Pico APIs (and structs) leaked in TH2 SDK. In later builds, there are only some minor changes (context struct for x64, registration struct contains open process/thread access rights & subsystem).
