tasklist: Display running processes using the specified `.exe` or `.dll` file name.

tasklist

$ tasklist /m ${module_pattern}

try on your machine

This command is used in the Windows operating system to display a list of currently running processes along with the dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that are loaded by each process that matches the specified module pattern.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

tasklist: It is the main command used to display the list of currently running processes and their associated information.
/m: This is an option or switch used with the tasklist command. It specifies that the following module pattern should be used to filter the displayed processes.
${module_pattern}: This is a placeholder for the actual module pattern that you would specify. The module pattern is a string used to match the names of the DLL modules loaded by processes. You can use wildcard characters (* and ?) in the module pattern to match multiple modules.

So, when you run the command "tasklist /m ${module_pattern}", it will list all running processes that have DLL modules loaded matching the specified module pattern. For example, if you run "tasklist /m kernel32*", it will display all running processes that have DLL modules starting with "kernel32".
