Mapped file not displaying info


I made 2 programs which you can find below.

The first one counts all the processes that have <3 threads and writes their name in a mapped file.

The second one is opened in the first's main function and should display what it finds in the mapped file. However, it doesn't and I think it's because nothing is written in it, but I can't seem to figure out why.

First:

#include "stdafx.h"


#include <windows.h>
#include <Tlhelp32.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <tchar.h>

void writeToFileMap(LPCTSTR msg)
{
    HANDLE hMapFile;
    LPCTSTR pBuf;
    TCHAR szName[]=TEXT("mapFile");


    hMapFile = CreateFileMapping(
        INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE,    // use paging file
        NULL,                    // default security 
        PAGE_READWRITE,          // read/write access
        0,                       // maximum object size (high-order DWORD) 
        256,                      // maximum object size (low-order DWORD)  
        szName);                 // name of mapping object

    if (hMapFile == NULL)
    {
        _tprintf(TEXT("Could not create file mapping object (%d).\n"),

            CloseHandle(hMapFile);

            return ;
        }


        CopyMemory((PVOID)pBuf, msg, (_tcslen(msg) * sizeof(LPCTSTR)));
        _getch();           

        UnmapViewOfFile(pBuf);

        CloseHandle(hMapFile);

    }
}






void getProcessList()

}  

Second:

    /*Creati 2 programe: 

1. Primul va enumera toate procesele din sistem care au mai putin de 3 fire de executie si le va 
transmite, printr-un fisier mapat in memorie, programului 2 
 2. Al doilea program, la initializare, isi va seta privilegiul SE_DEBUG_NAME si va omori toate 
procesele transmise de programul 1.
