1.1     ! root        1:  Sample: Writing NTSD Extensions
        !             2: 
        !             3: Summary:
        !             4: 
        !             5: This article and the associated sample demonstrate how to
        !             6: write a NTSD extension for the NTSD debugger.
        !             7: More Information:
        !             8: 
        !             9: While debugging, we often find ourselves looking up certain
        !            10: fields of a certain structure in the program. Traditionally,
        !            11: this involves dumping the address of the structure in
        !            12: question and locating the specific fields in the dump, which
        !            13: is often very tedious and inefficient.
        !            14: 
        !            15: In NTSD, the programmers can write a dumping routine to be
        !            16: called by the NTSD debugger.
        !            17: 
        !            18: The routine has to be in a DLL and has the following
        !            19: prototype:
        !            20: 
        !            21:    void Routine (HANDLE, HANDLE, HANDLE,
        !            22: PNTSD_EXTENSION_APIS, LPSTR);
        !            23: 
        !            24:    See the file DEBUG.C, which is part of the NTSD sample,
        !            25: for details.
        !            26: 
        !            27: Then, to invoke the routine in NTSD, the user would do the
        !            28: following:
        !            29: 
        !            30:    !module.routine argument
        !            31: 
        !            32: 
        !            33:
