The IMPDEF record defines one imported symbol.

Members

idRecordType

Specifies the record type. This member must be 88h.

idLength

Specifies the length of the record.

idAttribute

Specifies the record attributes. These are as defined for the COMENT record.

idClass

Specifies the comment class. This member must be 0A0h.

idSubType

Specifies the IMPDEF subtype. This member must be 01h.

idOrdFlag

Specifies the ordinal type. If this member is zero, the imported symbol is identified by name. If nonzero, it is identified by ordinal value.

idInternalName

Contains a character string defining the imported symbol. The first byte in this member specifies the number of bytes in the character string.

idModuleName

Contains a character string defining the name of the module with the definition for the imported symbol. The first byte in this member specifies the number of bytes in the character string.

idEntryIdent

Specifies an ordinal value or the name used by the exporting module for the symbol. The content of this member depends on the idOrdFlag member as follows:

Comments

Microsoft Import Library Manager (IMPLIB) creates IMPDEF records and builds an import library from a module-definition file or dynamic-link library. For more information about import libraries, see Chapter 11, “Library and Import-Library Formats.”
