IMAGE_NT_HEADERS32 structure (winnt.h)
Represents the PE header format.
Syntax
typedef struct _IMAGE_NT_HEADERS {
DWORD Signature;
IMAGE_FILE_HEADER FileHeader;
IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER32 OptionalHeader;
} IMAGE_NT_HEADERS32, *PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS32;
Members
Signature
A 4-byte signature identifying the file as a PE image. The bytes are "PE\0\0".
FileHeader
An IMAGE_FILE_HEADER structure that specifies the file header.
OptionalHeader
An IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER structure that specifies the optional file header.
Remarks
The actual structure in WinNT.h is named IMAGE_NT_HEADERS32 and IMAGE_NT_HEADERS is defined as IMAGE_NT_HEADERS32. However, if _WIN64 is defined, then IMAGE_NT_HEADERS is defined as IMAGE_NT_HEADERS64.
typedef struct _IMAGE_NT_HEADERS64 {
DWORD Signature;
IMAGE_FILE_HEADER FileHeader;
IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER64 OptionalHeader;
} IMAGE_NT_HEADERS64, *PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS64;
