How can I get the number of bytes a process, while it is running, has
written to the hard disk? (Windows, any programming language would be
OK, but preferably C++)

The process I need to figure out how many bytes it wrote to disk could
be any running process (like explorer.exe, etc).

You could have the program show this in shared memory available to all
other processes.

Or you could add up figures in individual write()entries in truss
output (after deciding which ones apply to disk).  This wouldn't even
need you to have the source for the program.

And you could use an OS known to have the above 2 features - not sure
if Windoes does.

Thank you for your response.

I don't have the source for the program, so I can't use the first
method you described. The process I need to figure out how many bytes
it wrote could be any process that is running (like explorer.exe).
Also, I don't think truss is available for Windows.

Is there another way I can do this? Maybe by injecting code into that
process, somehow.

Thank you.
