Simple windows executable used to query for the status of a Windows Service, in this case Dhcp (pretty ubiquitous).
The implementation is inspired from https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/sys/+/master:windows/svc/example/
There are two branches:
This one uses the basic methods provided by the x/sys library that, by default, require the highest permission level: SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS (source)
Trying to query the Service Manager here fails when connecting when the user running the executable doesn't have Administrator privileges:
😢
This branch contains calls at a lower level with lower permissions that result in a successful call
😃
Switch to one of the above branches and then
make run
