DUMPBIN utility

DUMPBIN - The Microsoft COFF Binary File Dumper

Dumpbin.exe displays information about 32-bit Common Object File Format (COFF) binary files. You can use DUMPBIN to examine COFF object files, standard libraries of COFF objects, executable files, and dynamic-link libraries (DLLs).

The DUMPBIN utility, which is provided with the 32-bit version of Microsoft Visual C++, combines the abilities of the LINK, LIB, and EXEHDR utilities. The combination of these tools features the ability to provide information about the format and symbols provided in executable, library, and DLL files.

The DUMPBIN.exe can be located @ /vc7/bin.

To run DUMPBIN, use the following syntax:

DUMPBIN [options] files...

Specify one or more binary files, along with any options required to control the information. DUMPBIN displays the information to standard output. You can either redirect it to a file or use the /OUT option to specify a file name for the output.

When you run DUMPBIN on a file without specifying an option, DUMPBIN displays the /SUMMARY output.
When you type the command dumpbin without any other command-line input, DUMPBIN displays a usage statement that summarizes its options.
