How to get Process Name in C++

I am looking for a way to to get the process name from the PID?

I need to translate process id (PID) to process name

any idea?

it depends on the used platform like Yahia mentioned in his comment.

on linux: you can get the command-line by reading that file: /proc/[PID]/cmdline

on windows: I've found this: get process name from process id (win32)

On Windows you can open the process using OpenProcess in order to get a handle to the process. After that you can get the process name with GetProcessImageFileName and close the handle (CloseHandle).
