NAME¶

LoadLibraryExA (KERNEL32.@)

SYNOPSIS¶

HMODULE LoadLibraryExA
(
LPCSTR libname,
HANDLE hfile,
DWORD flags
)

DESCRIPTION¶

Load a dll file into the process address space.

PARAMS¶

libname [In] Name of the file to load. hfile [In] Reserved, must be 0. flags [In] Flags for loading the dll.

RETURNS¶

Success: A handle to the loaded dll. Failure: A NULL handle. Use GetLastError(3w) to determine the cause.

NOTES¶

The HFILE parameter is not used and marked reserved in the SDK. I can only guess that it should force a file to be mapped, but I rather ignore the parameter because it would be extremely difficult to integrate this with different types of module representations.

IMPLEMENTATION¶

Declared in "winbase.h". Implemented in "dlls/kernel32/module.c". Debug channel "module".
