Which means you have a really difficult job ahead, if you need to 
find the appropriate value, without scrutinising Microsoft's code.

What?  Use the compiler as a spyglass, to facilitate such scrutiny?  
(If you haven't used Microsoft's header in the compilation, how can 
your simple C program know what value to print?)  Absolutely not!

Not so.  It is plagiarism, in exactly the same way as if you had read 
the Microsoft header directly.
