GetBinaryType
The GetBinaryType function determines whether a file is executable, and if so, what type of
executable file it is. That last property determines which subsystem an executable
file runs under.
BOOL GetBinaryType (
LPCTSTR lpApplicationName,
| // points to fully qualified path of file to test
| LPDWORD lpBinaryType
| // points to variable to receive binary type information
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpApplicationName
Points to a null-terminated string that contains the fully qualified path of
the file whose binary type the function shall determine.
lpBinaryType
Points to a variable to receive information about the executable type of the
file specified by lpApplicationName. The function adjusts a set of bit flags in this variable. The following bit
flag constants are defined:
Value
| Description
| SCS_32BIT_BINARY
| A Win32-based application
| SCS_DOS_BINARY
| An MS-DOS  based application
| SCS_OS216_BINARY
| A 16-bit OS/2-based application
| SCS_PIF_BINARY
| A PIF file that executes an MS-DOS based application
| SCS_POSIX_BINARY
| A POSIX based application
| SCS_WOW_BINARY
| A 16-bit Windows-based application
|
Return Values
If the file is executable, the return value is nonzero. The function sets the
variable pointed to by lpBinaryType to indicate the file's executable type.
If the function is not executable, or if the function fails, the return value
is zero.
