SymGetModuleBase

The SymGetModuleBase function retrieves the base address of the module that contains the specified address.

DWORD SymGetModuleBase(
  IN HANDLE hProcess,  
  IN DWORD dwAddr      
);
 

Parameters

hProcess

Handle to the process that was originally passed to the SymInitialize function.

dwAddr

Specifies the valid virtual address that is contained in one of the modules loaded by the SymLoadModule function.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero virtual address. The value is the base address of the module containing the address specified by the dwAddr parameter.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The module table is searched for a module that contains dwAddr. The module is located based on the load address and size of each module.
