The MSDN documentation for SetFileInformationByHandle refers to "FileExtd.lib on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP". I managed to track down the library and .h file, which is available to download as the "Win32 FileID APIs 1.1" from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1DECC547-AB00-4963-A360-E4130EC079B8&disp...
There must be some application for this kind, for I've never needed it until now, and that I do need it I can't find it. I know of Unlocker, but it cannot give me a list. Edit: A subquestion on ProcessExplorer's list. Which is what I really wanted to know in the first place. Why does Explorer (Windows Explorer) lock some files (refus...
I've made a program in MVSC++ which outputs memory contents (in ASCII). The ASCII I see in windows console seem to match what I see in various ASCII tables (smiley, diamond, club, right arrow etc). This program needs to compile under Linux (which is does), but the ASCII output looks completely different. A few symbols are the same but th...

Specifically I am interested in determining how frequently the contents of a memory mapped file are flushed (by Windows) to disk and what criterion Windows uses for deciding it is time to do so. I have done a bit of ...

It's clear I can't do this only with extraction of code segment content (because code segment contains also the data -- jump tables for example) and that I need some help from compiler. *.map files are nice but they only contain addresses of functions, i.e....
