The celua.txt documentation says getWindowlist() returns a table formatted as {pid, {id, caption}}. But my actual output is a list of window titles, without process IDs or handles. Is this a bug?

it returns a list of PID's and each pid contains an indexed list of windowtitles.

no handles no, just a pid and an id you can use to traverse the list

e.g: pid 22656 has a list of 8 windownames, pid 25220 has a list of 25 windownames, etc...

this may make it more clear:
Code:

for pid,list in pairs(getWindowList()) do
  printf("processid %x has the following windows:", pid)
  for i=1,#list do
    printf("  %d = %s", i, list[i])
  end
  print("")
end
