The GetBinaryType function determines whether a file is executable, and if so, what type of executable file it is. That last property determines which subsystem an executable file runs under.
BOOL GetBinaryType (
LPCTSTR lpApplicationName, |
// points to fully qualified path of file to test |
LPDWORD lpBinaryType |
// points to variable to receive binary type information |
); |
Value |
Description |
SCS_32BIT_BINARY |

SCS_DOS_BINARY |

SCS_OS216_BINARY |

SCS_PIF_BINARY |

SCS_POSIX_BINARY |

SCS_WOW_BINARY |

If the file is executable, the return value is nonzero. The function sets the variable pointed to by lpBinaryType to indicate the file’s executable type.
If the function is not executable, or if the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
