  • Article

The .imgscan command scans virtual memory for image headers.

.imgscan [Options]

Parameters

Options Any of the following options:

/r **** Range
Specifies the range to search. For more information about the syntax, see Address and Address Range Syntax. If you specify only one address, the debugger searches a range that begins at that address and extends 0x10000 bytes.

/l
Loads module information for any image header that is found.

/v
Displays verbose information.

Environment

Item Description
Modes User mode, kernel mode
Targets Live, crash dump
Platforms All

Remarks

If you do not use the /r parameter, the debugger searches all virtual memory regions.

The .imgscan command displays any image headers that it finds and the header type. Header types include Portable Executable (PE) headers and Microsoft MS-DOS MZ headers.

The following example shows the .imgscan command.
