Windows service redirect stdout

Privacy policy. The example in this topic demonstrates how to create a child process using the CreateProcess function from a console process. It also demonstrates a technique for using anonymous pipes to redirect the child process's standard input and output handles. The read end of one pipe serves as standard input for the child process, and the write end of the other pipe is the standard output for the child process. The parent process uses the opposite ends of these two pipes to write to the child process's input and read from the child process's output.

However, these handles must not be inherited. Therefore, before creating the child process, the parent process uses the SetHandleInformation function to ensure that the write handle for the child process's standard input and the read handle for the child process's standard output cannot be inherited.
