问题
I have a binary file - Windows static library (*.lib).
Is there a simple way to find out names of the functions and their interface from that library ?
Something similar to emfar and elfdump utilities (on Linux systems) ?
回答1:
Assuming you're talking about a static library, DUMPBIN /SYMBOLS shows the functions and data objects in the library. If you're talking about an import library (a .lib used to refer to symbols exported from a DLL), then you want DUMPBIN /EXPORTS.
Note that for functions linked with the "C" binary interface, this still won't get you return values, parameters, or calling convention. That information isn't encoded in the .lib at all; you have to know that ahead of time (via prototypes in header files, for example) in order to call them correctly.
For functions linked with the C++ binary interface, the calling convention and arguments are encoded in the exported name of the function (also called "name mangling"). DUMPBIN /SYMBOLS will show you both the "mangled" function name as well as the decoded set of parameters.

Open a visual command console (Visual Studio Command Prompt)
dumpbin /ARCHIVEMEMBERS openssl.x86.lib
or
lib /LIST openssl.x86.lib
or just open it with 7-zip :) its an AR archive

I wanted a tool like ar t libfile.a in unix.
The windows equivalent is lib.exe /list libfile.lib.
回答4:
LIB.EXE is the librarian for VS

(like libtool on Unix)
回答5:
"dumpbin -exports" works for dll, but sometimes may not work for lib. For lib we can use "dumpbin -linkermember" or just "dumpbin -linkermember:1".
回答6:
DUMPBIN /EXPORTS Will get most of that information and hitting MSDN will get the rest.
Get one of the Visual Studio packages; C++
回答7:
1) Open a Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 (or whatever version you have on your machine)(It should be located under: Start menu --> All programs --> Visual Studio 2017 (or whatever version you have on your machine) --> Visual Studio Tools --> Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017.
2) Enter the following command:
dumpbin /EXPORTS my_lib_name.lib

Like it can be seen in other answers you'll have to open a Developer Command Prompt offered in your version of Visual Studio to have dumpbin.exe in your execution path. Otherwise, you can set the necessary environment variables by hand.
dumpbin /EXPORTS yourlibrary.lib will usually show just a tiny list of symbols. In many cases, it won't show the functions the library exports.
dumpbin /SYMBOLS /EXPORTS yourlibrary.lib will show that symbols, but also an incredibly huge amount of other symbos. So, you got to filter them, possibly with a pipe to findstr (if you want a MS-Windows tool), or grep.
Searching the Static keyword using one of these tools seems to be a good hint.
