Listing the exported functions of a DLL

Solution 1

There is code here to do this. I have cleaned it up a bit and it worked in the scenario shown below, retrieving function names from Kernel32.Dll.

#include "imagehlp.h"

void ListDLLFunctions(string sADllName, vector<string>& slListOfDllFunctions)
{
    DWORD *dNameRVAs(0);
    _IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY *ImageExportDirectory;
    unsigned long cDirSize;
    _LOADED_IMAGE LoadedImage;
    string sName;
    slListOfDllFunctions.clear();
    if (MapAndLoad(sADllName.c_str(), NULL, &LoadedImage, TRUE, TRUE))
    {
        ImageExportDirectory = (_IMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY*)
            ImageDirectoryEntryToData(LoadedImage.MappedAddress,
            false, IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXPORT, &cDirSize);
        if (ImageExportDirectory != NULL)
        {
            dNameRVAs = (DWORD *)ImageRvaToVa(LoadedImage.FileHeader, 
                LoadedImage.MappedAddress,
            ImageExportDirectory->AddressOfNames, NULL);
            for(size_t i = 0; i < ImageExportDirectory->NumberOfNames; i++)
            {
                sName = (char *)ImageRvaToVa(LoadedImage.FileHeader, 
                        LoadedImage.MappedAddress,
                       dNameRVAs[i], NULL);
             slListOfDllFunctions.push_back(sName);
            }
        }
        UnMapAndLoad(&LoadedImage);
    }
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    vector<string> names;
    ListDLLFunctions("KERNEL32.DLL", names);

    return 0;   
}

If you're content with other tools then there are a number that do list exported functions. One is Microsoft's dumpbin, use the /exports option.

    I'm looking for a way (in C++/Windows) to list the exported functions of a DLL (and maybe even methods which are not exported) using dbgHelp.
    Does anybody know which method can do it?

    The query is about using dbgHelp Apis.

    The OP is asking for a dbghelp-based solution, which would include non-exported symbols...
