FindDebugInfoFile

The FindDebugInfoFile function locates a symbol file.

HANDLE FindDebugInfoFile(
  IN LPSTR FileName,    
  IN LPSTR SymbolPath,  
  OUT LPSTR DebugFilePath  
);
 

Parameters

FileName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the symbol file that is desired. You can use a partial path.

SymbolPath

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the path where symbol files are located. This can be multiple paths, with each separated by a semicolon (;).

DebugFilePath

The full path of the symbol file that is found.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is an open handle to the debug file.

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

Remarks

The FindDebugInfoFile function is used to locate a symbol file. This function is provided so symbol files can be located in several different directories through a single function call. The SymbolPath parameter can contain multiple paths, with each separated by a semicolon (;). When multiple paths are specified, each directory tree is searched for the symbol file. When the file is located, the search stops. Thus, be sure to specify SymbolPath with the paths in the correct order.
