This is the name of the function exported from the DLL. The name of the exported function can be determined using one of the following methods.

Refer to the documentation that is supplied with the DLL. Most commercial DLLs include documentation that describes the exported functions. For example, the Windows SDK and most C/C++ compilers for Windows include a manual or a help file that describes the Windows API.

  • If the source code for the DLL is available, the *.DEF file used to build the DLL usually lists the exported functions.
  • If a header file for the DLL is available, the function declarations are usually listed in it.
  • If API documentation, a *.DEF file, and a header file are not available, a third party tool may be required. For example, to view the exported function names from a DLL, use the EXEHDR utility that is included with most linkers.
