SymSrvStoreSupplementW function (dbghelp.h)
Stores a file in the specified supplement to a symbol store. The file is typically associated with a file in the symbol server.
Syntax
PCWSTR IMAGEAPI SymSrvStoreSupplementW(
[in] HANDLE hProcess,
[in, optional] PCWSTR SymPath,
[in] PCWSTR Node,
[in] PCWSTR File,
[in] DWORD Flags
);
Parameters
[in] hProcess
A handle to a process. This handle must have been previously passed to the SymInitialize function.
[in, optional] SymPath
The path to the symbol store.
[in] Node
The symbol file associated with the supplemental file.
[in] File
The name of the file.
[in] Flags
If this parameter is SYMSTOREOPT_COMPRESS, the file is compressed in the symbol store. Currently, there are no other supported values.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is the fully qualified path for the supplemental file.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To retrieve extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
An important use for this function is to store delta files. For more information, see SymSrvDeltaName.
This function returns a pointer to a buffer that may be reused by another function. Therefore, be sure to copy the data returned to another buffer immediately.
The symbol server stores supplemental files with the same extension in a common directory. For example, Sup1.xml would be stored in the following directory: SymPath\supplement\Node\xml.
The administrator of a store can prevent users from writing supplemental files by creating a read-only file in the root of the store named Supplement. Alternatively, the administrator can create the supplement directory and use ACLs to control access.
All DbgHelp functions, such as this one, are single threaded. Therefore, calls from more than one thread to this function will likely result in unexpected behavior or memory corruption. To avoid this, you must synchronize all concurrent calls from more than one thread to this function.
To call the Unicode version of this function, define DBGHELP_TRANSLATE_TCHAR.
Note
The dbghelp.h header defines SymSrvStoreSupplement as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
