windbg extensions

NTFSD

hi,

is there any documentation on the windbg extensions like the !strct command?
i am thinking if there is any more useful commands in the extensions.

also, is it possible for me to use the !strct command to display the
contents of my own structures? this can save me time looking at the memory
and deciphering the information manually.

thanks in advance!!

The kdex2x86 extension is documented in the OEM Tools package which (last I
checked) could still be downloaded from the Microsoft website. The “!strct”
command can be used to display any structure and there is a language for
describing data structures that allows them to be loaded.

However, if you are using current debuggers with your own structures and
symbols you can just use the “dt” command (“dt <module_name>!name>”)
