EngLoadModule function (winddi.h)
The EngLoadModule function loads the specified data module into system memory for reading.
Syntax
ENGAPI HANDLE EngLoadModule(
[in] LPWSTR pwsz
);
Parameters
[in] pwsz
Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the data file to be loaded.
Return value
If EngLoadModule succeeds, the return value is a handle to the module that was loaded. Otherwise, the return value is NULL.
Remarks
EngLoadModule loads a data file into system memory with read-only permission. To access the loaded module, the driver should call EngMapModule with the handle returned by this function.
The file identified by pwsz must be located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory or within a directory found in the directory hierarchy under %SystemRoot%\System32.
To load a writable module, the driver should call EngLoadModuleForWrite. Drivers that need to load an image as executable code should call EngLoadImage instead of this function.
