Module Walking

  • Article

A snapshot that includes the module list for a specified process contains information about each module, executable file, or dynamic-link library (DLL), used by the specified process. You can retrieve information for the first module in the list by using the Module32First function. After retrieving the first module in the list, you can retrieve information for subsequent modules in the list by using the Module32Next function. Module32First and Module32Next fill a MODULEENTRY32 structure with information about the module.

You can retrieve an extended error status code for Module32First and Module32Next by using the GetLastError function.

Note

The module identifier, which is specified in the th32ModuleID member of MODULEENTRY32, only has meaning in 16-bit Windows.
