The GetThreadSelectorEntry function retrieves a descriptor table entry for the specified selector and thread.
BOOL GetThreadSelectorEntry(
HANDLE hThread, // handle to thread that contains selector
DWORD dwSelector, // number of selector value to look up
LPLDT_ENTRY lpSelectorEntry
// address of selector entry structure
);
Windows NT: The handle must have THREAD_QUERY_INFORMATION access.
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. In that case, the structure pointed to by the lpSelectorEntry parameter receives a copy of the specified descriptor table entry.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
GetThreadSelectorEntry is only functional on x86-based systems. For systems that are not x86-based, the function returns FALSE.
Debuggers use this function to convert segment-relative addresses to linear virtual addresses. The ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessMemory functions use linear virtual addresses.
Windows NT: Requires version 3.1 or later.
Windows: Requires Windows 95 or later.
Windows CE: Unsupported.
Header: Declared in winbase.h.
Import Library: Use kernel32.lib.
