TerminateProcess ExitCode

Question

I am trying to better understand some of the process APIs, namely GetExitCodeProcess and TerminateProcess. I found some code examples on the Internet, but not quite the explanation I'm looking for.

I understand that this will give me the process exit code.

lResult = GetExitCodeProcess(hProcess, lExitCode)

And this will complete the process

lResult = TerminateProcess(hProcess, lExitCode)

However, it seems that this last parameter of the exit code does not have to be the exit code received in the first line. In fact, I came across a few examples where it 0was replaced by an exit code.

lResult = TerminateProcess(hProcess, 0)

I thought lExitCode is the specific value that I should have provided to the TerminateProcess function, but apparently this is not the case - it seems that almost any number will work. Can someone give me an explanation on this?
