Syntax
HANDLE IMAGEAPI FindDebugInfoFileEx(
[in] PCSTR FileName,
[in] PCSTR SymbolPath,
[out] PSTR DebugFilePath,
[in, optional] PFIND_DEBUG_FILE_CALLBACK Callback,
[in, optional] PVOID CallerData
);
Parameters
[in] FileName
The name of the .dbg file to locate. You can use a partial path.
[in] SymbolPath
The path where symbol files are located. This can be multiple paths separated by semicolons. To retrieve the symbol path, use the SymGetSearchPath function.
[out] DebugFilePath
A pointer to a buffer that receives the full path of the .dbg file.
[in, optional] Callback
An application-defined callback function that verifies whether the correct file was found or the function should continue its search. For more information, see FindDebugInfoFileProc.
This parameter may be NULL.
[in, optional] CallerData
Optional user-defined data to pass to the callback function.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle to the .dbg file.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The FindDebugInfoFileEx function is used to locate a .dbg file. This function is provided so the search can be conducted in several different directories through a single function call. The SymbolPath parameter can contain multiple paths, with each separated by a semicolon (;). When multiple paths are specified, the function searches each specified directory for the file. When the file is located, the search stops. Thus, be sure to specify SymbolPath with the paths in the correct order.
If the file name specified does not include a .dbg extension, FindDebugInfoFileEx searches for the file in the following sequence:
- SymbolPath\Symbols\ext\filename.dbg
- SymbolPath\ext\filename.dbg
- SymbolPath\filename.dbg
- FileNamePath\filename.dbg
To call the Unicode version of this function, define DBGHELP_TRANSLATE_TCHAR.
