Is there any way to know which functions are exported from the dll
through python foreign function library ctypes
?
And if possible to know details about the exported functions through ctypes
.
If yes, could someone provide a snippet of code?
These functions are the entry points into the DLL; only the functions in the exports table can be accessed by other executables. Any other functions in the DLL are private to the DLL. The exports table of a DLL can be viewed by using the DUMPBIN tool with the /EXPORTS option.
You can list function names for a specific DLL, such as user32. dll, by running a variety of command-line tools. For example, you can use dumpbin /exports user32. dll or link /dump /exports user32.
ctypes is a foreign function library for Python. It provides C compatible data types, and allows calling functions in DLLs or shared libraries. It can be used to wrap these libraries in pure Python.
I don't think ctypes offers this functionality. On Windows with visual studio:
DUMPBIN -EXPORTS XXX.DLL
Or for mingw on windows:
objdump -p XXX.dll
