SymNext Function

Debug Help Library

SymNext Function

Retrieves symbol information for the next symbol.

BOOL WINAPI SymNext(
  __in          HANDLE hProcess,
  __in_out      PSYMBOL_INFO Symbol
);

Parameters

hProcess

A handle to a process. This handle must have been previously passed to the SymInitialize function.

Symbol

A pointer to a SYMBOL_INFO structure that provides information about the current symbol. Upon return, the structure contains information about the next symbol.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function requires that the SYMBOL_INFO structure have valid data for the current symbol. The next symbol is the symbol with the virtual address that is next in the sequence.
