/DEPENDENTS

  • Article

Dumps the names of the DLLs from which the image imports functions. You can use the list to determine which DLLs to redistribute with your app, or find the name of a missing dependency.

Syntax

/DEPENDENTS

This option applies to all the executable files specified on the command line. It doesn't take any arguments.

Remarks

The /DEPENDENTS option adds the names of the DLLs from which the image imports functions to the output. This option does not dump the names of the imported functions. To see the names of the imported functions, use the /IMPORTS option.

Only the /HEADERS DUMPBIN option is available for use on files produced with the /GL compiler option.
