| This tool is designed to download PE files and symbols from symbol servers. |
| Normally this is done automatically by tools such as windbg but it can be |
| helpful to be able to download these files on demand. |
| |
| Sample usage: |
| |
| > rem Add the VS tools to the path, for access to dumpbin |
| > "%vs120comntools%vsvars32.bat" |
| |
| D:\src\chromium\src\tools\win>dumpbin /headers "c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" | findstr "RSDS date image" |
| 54E3AECF time date stamp Tue Feb 17 13:12:47 2015 |
| 400000 image base (00400000 to 004D2FFF) |
| 0.00 image version |
| D3000 size of image |
| 54E3AECF cv 5D 0008DF80 8D380 Format: RSDS, {283A66AE-3EF3-4383-8798-F6617112B1F6}, 1, C:\b\build\slave\win\build\src\out\Release\initialexe\chrome.exe.pdb |

| > RetrieveSymbols {283A66AE-3EF3-4383-8798-F6617112B1F6}, 1 chrome.exe.pdb |
| Parsing symbol data for a PDB file. |
| Looking for 283A66AE3EF343838798F6617112B1F6 1 chrome.exe.pdb. |
| Found symbol file - placed it in d:\src\symbols\chrome.exe.pdb\283A66AE3EF343838798F6617112B1F61\chrome.exe.pdb. |
| |
| > RetrieveSymbols 54E3AECF D3000 chrome.exe |
| Parsing symbol data for a PE (.dll or .exe) file. |
| Looking for chrome.exe 54e3aecf d3000. |
| Found symbol file - placed it in d:\src\symbols\chrome.exe\54E3AECFd3000\chrome.exe. |
| |
| The first invocation of RetrieveSymbols uses the GUID, age, and PDB name from |
| the RSDS line of the dumpbin output -- the extraneous '{', '}', ',' and '-' |
| characters are stripped out. |
| |
| The second invocation of RetrieveSymbols uses the time date stamp from the |
| first line of the dumpbin output, the "size of image" data, and the |
| executable name. |
| |
| This information can also be obtained from breakpad reports, from windbg |
| by using "lmv m chrome_elf" and "!lmi chrome_elf.dll", from ETW traces, |
| and from other sources. |
