Building The Samples

To build the sample applications, type nmake in the samples directory. Note that you must build the setdll and syslog samples in order to use many of the other sample programs.

Each of the sample directories has a test, which can be invoked by typing nmake test, to demonstrate the usage of the sample. With very few exceptions, all of the .exe programs also accept a /? command to display a usage message.

The trace samples log their output through the syelogd.exe daemon and hook CreateProcessW to load themselves into any child processes. For example, typing withdll -d:traceapi.dll cmd.exe will create a command shell under which all processes log their API calls through traceapi.dll.

Detours includes the following samples:
