The Processes API enables enumeration of the processes that dotnet monitor can detect and allows for obtaining their metadata (such as their names and environment variables).
Note
Process information (IDs, names, environment, etc) may change between invocations of these APIs. Processes may start or stop between API invocations, causing this information to change.
