14. `windows.generated_def` – generated Windows defines and structures¶

windows.generated_def contains Python files generated by ctypes_generation/.

Those generated files includes:

some Windows structures and enums

some Windows defines including some NTSTATUS

some Windows function prototypes

Each value in windef and ntstatus is a Flag or a StrFlag.

Here is every generated definition by type:

class windows.generated_def.Flag[source]¶: A long with a name

class windows.generated_def.StrFlag¶: A str with a name

14.6. Example¶

>>> import windows.generated_def
>>> import windows.generated_def as gdef
>>> gdef
<module 'windows.generated_def' from 'c:\users\hakril\documents\work\pythonforwindows\windows\generated_def\__init__.pyc'>

>>> gdef.PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE
PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE(0x40L)

>>> gdef.PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE  == 0x40
True

>>> gdef.PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE  + 1
65L

>>> gdef.STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION(0xc0000005L)

>>> gdef.LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY

>>> gdef.LDR_DATA_TABLE_ENTRY._fields_
[('Reserved1', <class 'windows.generated_def.winstructs.c_void_p_Array_2'>), ...]

>>> gdef.MEMORY_INFORMATION_CLASS
