DLL importer
Anybody knows if there is a utility that can extract API information out from DLL files? I tried LibImporter but it is for .lib and .obj only...

The only API info you can extract from a .DLL is the functions names, version, and some little more. You can use ExamineLibraryFunctions(), CountLibraryFunctions(), and so on.
Documentation about what do each function is property of the .DLL creator/s and owner/s and usually don't appear into the .DLL files.

Re: DLL importer
pexport 0.43 - available if you search for it on the web (I'd post a link, but I'm not at home).akee wrote:Anybody knows if there is a utility that can extract API information out from DLL files? I tried LibImporter but it is for .lib and .obj only...
implib (IIRC, or perhaps impdll) - part of Borland's compiler tools
MS also has one but I cannot remember what it is called.
You may find links if you go here which has some discussion about creating and using DLLs in the MinGW compiler, but the tools you can use (mentioned above) should be the same.
If you paint your butt blue and glue the hole shut you just themed your ass but lost the functionality.
