Handle to the owner process.
Remarks
For All Platforms:
This function is typically used by a driver to determine what process owns the thread making the function call.
For Windows Embedded CE:
Because a driver runs in a different process space (**device.dll in Windows Embedded CE ) than a calling process, it is important in certain situations to know what process is making the call to this function.
