SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY

The SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY structure is used by the StartServiceCtrlDispatcher function to specify the ServiceMain function for a service that can run in the calling process.

typedef struct _SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY {
  LPTSTR lpServiceName;
  LPSERVICE_MAIN_FUNCTION lpServiceProc;} SERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY, 
*LPSERVICE_TABLE_ENTRY;

Members

If the service is installed with the SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS service type, this member specifies the name of the service that uses the ServiceMain function pointed to by the lpServiceProc member.
