DUMPBIN /IMPORTS

This option directs that the Import Table and the Delay Import Descriptor be included in dumps of executables.

Syntax

/imports[:file]

The file argument is optional. If given, it consists of everything after the colon.

Behaviour

This option applies only to executables in PE format. The Import Table and the Delay Import Descriptor are located via the Optional Header’s Data Directory. As with other such data, each is part of the executable’s image and each is expected to lie wholly within some section of that image.

For each applicable input file, for each eligible section (as determined by the /range and /section options), if the /imports option is active and either or both of the Import Table and the Delay Import Descriptor are contained in that section, then DUMPBIN adds its description of them to the dump of this section.
