VirtualQuery
The VirtualQuery function provides information about a range of pages in the virtual address
space of the calling process.
DWORD VirtualQuery(
LPCVOID lpAddress,
| // address of region
| PMEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION lpBuffer,
| // address of information buffer
| DWORD dwLength
| // size of buffer
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpAddress
Points to the base address of the region of pages to be queried. This value is
rounded down to the next page boundary. To determine the size of a page on the
host computer, use the GetSystemInfo function.
lpBuffer
Points to a MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION structure in which information about the specified page range is returned.
dwLength
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the lpBuffer parameter.
Return Values
The return value is the actual number of bytes returned in the information
buffer.
Remarks
VirtualQuery provides information about a region of consecutive pages beginning at a
specified address that share the following attributes:
- The state of all pages is the same with the MEM_COMMIT, MEM_RESERVE, MEM_FREE,
MEM_PRIVATE, MEM_MAPPED, or MEM_IMAGE flag.
- If the initial page is not free, all pages in the region are part of the same
initial allocation of pages reserved by a call to the VirtualAlloc function.
- The access of all pages is the same with the PAGE_READONLY, PAGE_READWRITE,
PAGE_NOACCESS, PAGE_WRITECOPY, PAGE_EXECUTE, PAGE_EXECUTE_READ,
PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, PAGE_EXECUTE_WRITECOPY, PAGE_GUARD, or PAGE_NOCACHE flag.
The function determines the attributes of the first page in the region and
then scans subsequent pages until it scans the entire range of pages or until it
encounters a page with a nonmatching set of attributes. The function returns the
attributes and the size, in bytes, of the region of pages with matching
attributes. For example, if there is a 40 megabyte (MB) region of free memory, and VirtualQuery is called on a page that is 10 MB into the region, the function will obtain a
state of MEM_FREE and a size of 30 MB.
This function reports on a region of pages in the memory of the calling
process, and the VirtualQueryEx function reports on a region of pages in the memory of a specified process.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
