$ wmic process where processid=${pid} get ${name,commandline}

try on your machine

The command "wmic process where processid=${pid} get ${name,commandline}" is used to retrieve information about a specific process running on a Windows system using the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"wmic process": This initiates a query using the WMIC tool to retrieve information about running processes on the system.
"where processid=${pid}": This specifies a condition or filter for the query, where the process ID (${pid}) matches the specified value. You need to replace ${pid} with the actual process ID you want to retrieve information for.
"get ${name,commandline}": This specifies the specific properties or attributes of the process to retrieve. In this case, it retrieves the process name and its corresponding command line. The ${name,commandline} value needs to be replaced with the actual property names you want to retrieve.

To use this command, you need to replace ${pid} with the actual process ID you want to retrieve information for. Additionally, you can modify or add other properties to retrieve by separating them using commas after the "get" keyword. For example, "get name,processid,commandline" will retrieve the process name, process ID, and command line for the specified process ID.
