NTSYSAPI
NTSTATUS
NTAPI
ZwTerminateProcess(
IN HANDLE ProcessHandle OPTIONAL,
IN NTSTATUS ExitStatus
);

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I try to using this function but the process do not terminate ,here is my code snippet

//// Global ////

#define NTSTATUS ULONG
typedef
NTSYSAPI
NTSTATUS
NTAPI
(*ZwTerminateProcess)(
IN HANDLE ProcessHandle OPTIONAL,
IN NTSTATUS ExitStatus
);
ZwTerminateProcess fZwTerminateProcess;

//// Use ////

fZwTerminateProcess = (ZwTerminateProcess)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandleA("ntdll.dll"),"ZwTerminateProcess");
fZwTerminateProcess(NULL,1);

All compiling made sucessfull ,but when the process do not terminate.
Do i make somethings wrong?

You should read carefully. If the process handle is 0, this function terminates all threads of current process, except current thread.

except current thread Where u got that message??


As it stated
ZwTerminateProcess terminates a process and the threads that it contains.

Parameters
ProcessHandle
A handle to a process object.The handle must grant PROCESS_TERMINATE access. If this
value is zero, the current process is terminated.

I try pass NULL(0) as parameter as want to terminate current process ,but it do nothing.

Strange, that was citation from the book you've mentioned (actually, a polish translation). My edition is from year 2000.
