-- This module is designed to parse the PERF_DATA_BLOCK
structure, which is
-- stored in the registry under HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. By querying this structure, you can
-- get a whole lot of information about what's going on.
--
-- To use this from a script, see get_performance_data
, it is the only
-- "public" function in this module.
--
-- My primary sources of information were:
-- * This 1996 journal by Matt Pietrek:
-- * The followup article:
-- * The WinPerf.h header file
--
-- And my primary inspiration was PsTools, specifically, pstasklist.exe
.
