Feature request.

The x/sys/windows/svc/mgr package can create a new service, and delete or perform other operations on existing services. But there's no function to list the existing installed services.

I know it's only an /x/ package. But i think it's a functionality gap.

It can be implemented via the EnumServicesStatusEx function.

Sounds reasonable.

How are you planing to use it? I am asking because EnumServicesStatusEx has some parameters to filter the list. I am trying to decide what new API will look like?

Thank you

Alex

Ideally, as little filtering as possible should be done by the package, then the application developer can do it themselves.

In normal Windows services.msc or Task Manager you can see all services of type SERVICE_WIN32, so i think this is the expected enumeration filter type.

The existing CreateService function in this package does use the SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS type, which is a subset of SERVICE_WIN32, so, the round-trip behavior will work as expected.

I think it looks good, a nice simple API.

In the line t.Errorf("ListServices failed to find $q service", name) should $q instead be %q?

Cool. Thank you.

Fixed. You can actually review code at https://golang.org/cl/45711 if you like.
