Win32::API::Type - C type support package for Win32::API
use Win32::API; Win32::API::Type->typedef( 'my_number', 'LONG' );
This module is a support package for Win32::API that implements C types for the import with prototype functionality.
See Win32::API for more info about its usage.
This module is automatically imported by Win32::API, so you don't need to 'use' it explicitly. These are the methods of this package:
typedef NAME, TYPE
This method defines a new type named NAME. This actually just creates an alias for the already-defined type TYPE, which you can use as a parameter in a Win32::API call.
NAME
TYPE
sizeof TYPE
This returns the size, in bytes, of TYPE. Acts just like the C function of the same name.
is_known TYPE
Returns true if TYPE is known by Win32::API::Type, false otherwise.
This module should recognize all the types defined in the Win32 Platform SDK header files. Please see the source for this module, in the __DATA__ section, for the full list.
