windbg extension to get a driver version

NTDEV
1

Hi,
Is there a way to get the driver version (as specifiied in the .rc, resource
file) thru a windbg extension?

I mean, lets say I have the core file of my driver and among other info that
i try to get thru a debug extn, I also want the version which was specified
in the resource file when I built the driver.

So how can I write such an extension ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Atul

(1) No easy way I know of.
(2) Use the lm v command to see the date
(3) Use !drivers command
(4) Store the version info in a varable in your driver and then write a
windbg command to get that varable.
(5) Use dumpbin to get the offset of the .rsrc section where this
information is stored and then us the d command along with the base
address of your driver gotten with !drivers or lm v command.

Some other ideas

!lmi
!dll -v

Hope that helps
