- IMPLIB Help
-
- The IMPLIB utility creates import library. IMPLIB takes as input DLLs, module definition files,
- or both, and produces an import library as output.
- If you've created a Windows application, you've already used at least one import library,
- IMPORT32.LIB, the import library for the standard Windows DLLs. (IMPORT.LIB is linked
- automatically when you build a Windows application in the IDE and when using BCC32 to link.
- You have to explicitly link with IMPORT32.LIB only if you're using TLINK32 to link
- separately.)
-
- An import library lists some or all of the exported functions for one or more DLLs. IMPLIB
- creates an import library directly from DLLs or from module definition files for DLLs (or a
- combination of the two).
-
- Creating an Import Library for a DLL
-
- Options must be lowercase and preceded by either a hyphen or a slash.
- Type:
-
- IMPLIB Options LibName [ DefFiles... | DLLs... ] [@ResponseFile]
-
- where Options is an optional list of one or more IMPLIB options, LibName is the name for the
- new import library, DefFiles is a list of one or more existing module definition files for one or
- more DLLs, and DLLs is a list of one or more existing DLLs. You must specify at least one DLL
- or module definition file.
- You can also use a response file to list the .DEF and .DLL files that you want to process. A
- response file is an ACSII text file that contains a list of files. The files must be separated by
- either spaces or new lines in the file. To specify a response file on the command line, precede the
- response filename with an "at" sign (@). For example,
-
- implib foo.lib @respon.txt
-
- Note: A DLL can also have an extension of .EXE or .DRV, not just .DLL.
-
- Option Description
-
- -c Warnings on case sensitive symbols
- -f Force imports by name
- -i Tells IMPLIB to ignore WEP, the Windows exit procedure required to end a DLL. Use
- this option if you are specifying more than one DLL on the IMPLIB command line.
- -o Remove module extensions. (16-bit Windows only)
- -w No warnings.
