[Dev-C++] PE-File

[Christian W. <Chr...@vo...>]

Hi List,

I try to play around with the PE file format and can't get it running ...

What is lpFile for a type ???

To what should i cast it, so that it works ?

My last Test was:

 lpFile = fopen(...);



(The MSDN doesn't help much...)



Here the stuff from the MSDN:

/* DOS header identifies the NT PEFile signature dword
   the PEFILE header exists just after that dword	       */

#define PEFHDROFFSET(a) ((LPVOID)((BYTE *)a		     +	\
			 ((PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER)a)->e_lfanew    +	\
			 SIZE_OF_NT_SIGNATURE))


LPVOID lpFile;

int n = ((int)((PIMAGE_FILE_HEADER)PEFHDROFFSET
(lpFile))->NumberOfSections);



Here the declaration from WinNT.h:

//
// File header format.
//

typedef struct _IMAGE_FILE_HEADER 
{
    WORD    Machine;
    WORD    NumberOfSections;
    DWORD   TimeDateStamp;
    DWORD   PointerToSymbolTable;
    DWORD   NumberOfSymbols;
    WORD    SizeOfOptionalHeader;
    WORD    Characteristics;
} IMAGE_FILE_HEADER, *PIMAGE_FILE_HEADER;
