"readelf" Equivalent?
gamename
In the *nix world, there is the command 'readelf' to figure out if an
executable contains debug symbols. Is there an equivalent command in
win32??
Tks.

In the win32 world, debug symbols are typically contained in a
separate file from the .exe. MS's compiler puts them in a .pdb
(Program DataBase) file, with the same name as the exe -- e.g.
myapp.exe can have a myapp.pdb file. It's then trivial to distribute
only the .exe to end users and now give away the farm.

Looking up SymInitialize should get you started in the right direction.
IIRC, in Win32, some symbol lookup can/will work even without debug
symbols as such -- some symbols like names of exported functions are
normally present anyway (though the names are sometimes pretty
useless).
