260=head1 NAME
261
262Win32 - Interfaces to some Win32 API Functions
263
264=head1 DESCRIPTION
265
266Perl on Win32 contains several functions to access Win32 APIs. Some
267are included in Perl itself (on Win32) and some are only available
268after explicitly requesting the Win32 module with:
269
270 use Win32;
271
272The builtin functions are marked as [CORE] and the other ones
273as [EXT] in the following alphabetical listing.
274
275=head2 Alphabetical Listing of Win32 Functions
276
277=over
278
279=item Win32::AbortSystemShutdown(MACHINE)
280
281[EXT] Aborts a system shutdown (started by the
282InitiateSystemShutdown function) on the specified MACHINE.
283
284=item Win32::BuildNumber()
285
286[CORE] Returns the ActivePerl build number. This function is
287only available in the ActivePerl binary distribution.
288
289=item Win32::CopyFile(FROM, TO, OVERWRITE)
290
291[CORE] The Win32::CopyFile() function copies an existing file to a new
292file. All file information like creation time and file attributes will
293be copied to the new file. However it will B<not> copy the security
294information. If the destination file already exists it will only be
295overwritten when the OVERWRITE parameter is true. But even this will
296not overwrite a read-only file; you have to unlink() it first
297yourself.
298
299=item Win32::DomainName()
300
301[CORE] Returns the name of the Microsoft Network domain that the
302owner of the current perl process is logged into. This function does
303B<not> work on Windows 9x.
304
305=item Win32::ExpandEnvironmentStrings(STRING)
306
307[EXT] Takes STRING and replaces all referenced environment variable
308names with their defined values. References to environment variables
309take the form C<%VariableName%>. Case is ignored when looking up the
310VariableName in the environment. If the variable is not found then the
311original C<%VariableName%> text is retained. Has the same effect
312as the following:
313
314 $string =~ s/%([^%]*)%/$ENV{$1} || "%$1%"/eg
315
316=item Win32::FormatMessage(ERRORCODE)
317
318[CORE] Converts the supplied Win32 error number (e.g. returned by
319Win32::GetLastError()) to a descriptive string. Analogous to the
320perror() standard-C library function. Note that C<$^E> used
321in a string context has much the same effect.
322
323 C:\> perl -e "$^E = 26; print $^E;"
324 The specified disk or diskette cannot be accessed
325
326=item Win32::FsType()
327
328[CORE] Returns the name of the filesystem of the currently active
329drive (like 'FAT' or 'NTFS'). In list context it returns three values:
330(FSTYPE, FLAGS, MAXCOMPLEN). FSTYPE is the filesystem type as
331before. FLAGS is a combination of values of the following table:
332
333 0x00000001 supports case-sensitive filenames
334 0x00000002 preserves the case of filenames
335 0x00000004 supports Unicode in filenames
336 0x00000008 preserves and enforces ACLs
337 0x00000010 supports file-based compression
338 0x00000020 supports disk quotas
339 0x00000040 supports sparse files
340 0x00000080 supports reparse points
341 0x00000100 supports remote storage
342 0x00008000 is a compressed volume (e.g. DoubleSpace)
343 0x00010000 supports object identifiers
344 0x00020000 supports the Encrypted File System (EFS)
345
346MAXCOMPLEN is the maximum length of a filename component (the part
347between two backslashes) on this file system.
348
349=item Win32::FreeLibrary(HANDLE)
350
351[EXT] Unloads a previously loaded dynamic-link library. The HANDLE is
352no longer valid after this call. See L<LoadLibrary|Win32::LoadLibrary(LIBNAME)>
353for information on dynamically loading a library.
354
355=item Win32::GetArchName()
356
357[EXT] Use of this function is deprecated. It is equivalent with
358$ENV{PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE}. This might not work on Win9X.
359
360=item Win32::GetChipName()
361
362[EXT] Returns the processor type: 386, 486 or 586 for Intel processors,
36321064 for the Alpha chip.
364
365=item Win32::GetCwd()
366
367[CORE] Returns the current active drive and directory. This function
368does not return a UNC path, since the functionality required for such
369a feature is not available under Windows 95.
370
371=item Win32::GetFileVersion(FILENAME)
372
373[EXT] Returns the file version number from the VERSIONINFO resource of
374the executable file or DLL. This is a tuple of four 16 bit numbers.
375In list context these four numbers will be returned. In scalar context
376they are concatenated into a string, separated by dots.
377
378=item Win32::GetFolderPath(FOLDER [, CREATE])
379
380[EXT] Returns the full pathname of one of the Windows special folders.
381The folder will be created if it doesn't exist and the optional CREATE
382argument is true. The following FOLDER constants are defined by the
383Win32 module, but only exported on demand:

427
428Note that not all folders are defined on all versions of Windows.
429
430Please refer to the MSDN documentation of the CSIDL constants,
431currently available at:
432
433http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/enums/csidl.asp
434
435=item Win32::GetFullPathName(FILENAME)
436
437[CORE] GetFullPathName combines the FILENAME with the current drive
438and directory name and returns a fully qualified (aka, absolute)
439path name. In list context it returns two elements: (PATH, FILE) where
440PATH is the complete pathname component (including trailing backslash)
441and FILE is just the filename part. Note that no attempt is made to
442convert 8.3 components in the supplied FILENAME to longnames or
443vice-versa. Compare with Win32::GetShortPathName and
444Win32::GetLongPathName.
445
446=item Win32::GetLastError()
447
448[CORE] Returns the last error value generated by a call to a Win32 API
449function. Note that C<$^E> used in a numeric context amounts to the
450same value.
451
452=item Win32::GetLongPathName(PATHNAME)
453
454[CORE] Returns a representation of PATHNAME composed of longname
455components (if any). The result may not necessarily be longer
456than PATHNAME. No attempt is made to convert PATHNAME to the
457absolute path. Compare with Win32::GetShortPathName and
458Win32::GetFullPathName.
459
460=item Win32::GetNextAvailDrive()
461
462[CORE] Returns a string in the form of "<d>:" where <d> is the first
463available drive letter.
464
465=item Win32::GetOSVersion()
466
467[CORE] Returns the list (STRING, MAJOR, MINOR, BUILD, ID), where the
468elements are, respectively: An arbitrary descriptive string, the major
469version number of the operating system, the minor version number, the
470build number, and a digit indicating the actual operating system.
471For the ID, the values are 0 for Win32s, 1 for Windows 9X/Me and 2 for
472Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. In scalar context it returns just the ID.
473
474Currently known values for ID MAJOR and MINOR are as follows:
475
476 OS ID MAJOR MINOR
477 Win32s 0 - -
478 Windows 95 1 4 0
479 Windows 98 1 4 10
480 Windows Me 1 4 90
481 Windows NT 3.51 2 3 51
482 Windows NT 4 2 4 0
483 Windows 2000 2 5 0
484 Windows XP 2 5 1
485 Windows Server 2003 2 5 2
486 Windows Vista 2 6 0
487
488On Windows NT 4 SP6 and later this function returns the following
489additional values: SPMAJOR, SPMINOR, SUITEMASK, PRODUCTTYPE.
490
491SPMAJOR and SPMINOR are are the version numbers of the latest
492installed service pack.
493
494SUITEMASK is a bitfield identifying the product suites available on
495the system. Known bits are:
496
497 VER_SUITE_SMALLBUSINESS 0x00000001
498 VER_SUITE_ENTERPRISE 0x00000002
499 VER_SUITE_BACKOFFICE 0x00000004
500 VER_SUITE_COMMUNICATIONS 0x00000008
501 VER_SUITE_TERMINAL 0x00000010
502 VER_SUITE_SMALLBUSINESS_RESTRICTED 0x00000020
503 VER_SUITE_EMBEDDEDNT 0x00000040
504 VER_SUITE_DATACENTER 0x00000080
505 VER_SUITE_SINGLEUSERTS 0x00000100
506 VER_SUITE_PERSONAL 0x00000200
507 VER_SUITE_BLADE 0x00000400
508 VER_SUITE_EMBEDDED_RESTRICTED 0x00000800
509 VER_SUITE_SECURITY_APPLIANCE 0x00001000
510
511The VER_SUITE_xxx names are listed here to crossreference the Microsoft
512documentation. The Win32 module does not provide symbolic names for these
513constants.
514
515PRODUCTTYPE provides additional information about the system. It should
516be one of the following integer values:
517
518 1 - Workstation (NT 4, 2000 Pro, XP Home, XP Pro)
519 2 - Domaincontroller
520 3 - Server
521
522=item Win32::GetOSName()
523
524[EXT] In scalar context returns the name of the Win32 operating system
525being used. In list context returns a two element list of the OS name
526and whatever edition information is known about the particular build
527(for Win9X boxes) and whatever service packs have been installed.
528The latter is roughly equivalent to the first item returned by
529GetOSVersion() in list context.
530
531Currently the possible values for the OS name are
532
533 Win32s Win95 Win98 WinMe WinNT3.51 WinNT4 Win2000 WinXP/.Net Win2003
534
535This routine is just a simple interface into GetOSVersion(). More
536specific or demanding situations should use that instead. Another
537option would be to use POSIX::uname(), however the latter appears to
538report only the OS family name and not the specific OS. In scalar
539context it returns just the ID.
540
541The name "WinXP/.Net" is used for historical reasons only, to maintain
542backwards compatibility of the Win32 module. Windows .NET Server has
543been renamed as Windows 2003 Server before final release and uses a
544different major/minor version number than Windows XP.
545
546=item Win32::GetShortPathName(PATHNAME)
547
548[CORE] Returns a representation of PATHNAME that is composed of short
549(8.3) path components where available. For path components where the
550file system has not generated the short form the returned path will
551use the long form, so this function might still for instance return a
552path containing spaces. Compare with Win32::GetFullPathName and
553Win32::GetLongPathName.
554
555=item Win32::GetProcAddress(INSTANCE, PROCNAME)
556
557[EXT] Returns the address of a function inside a loaded library. The
558information about what you can do with this address has been lost in
559the mist of time. Use the Win32::API module instead of this deprecated
560function.
561
562=item Win32::GetTickCount()
563
564[CORE] Returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since the last
565system boot. Resolution is limited to system timer ticks (about 10ms
566on WinNT and 55ms on Win9X).
567
568=item Win32::GuidGen()
569
570[EXT] Creates a globally unique 128 bit integer that can be used as a
571persistent identifier in a distributed setting. To a very high degree
572of certainty this function returns a unique value. No other
573invocation, on the same or any other system (networked or not), should
574return the same value.
575
576The return value is formatted according to OLE conventions, as groups
577of hex digits with surrounding braces. For example:
578
579 {09531CF1-D0C7-4860-840C-1C8C8735E2AD}
580
581=item Win32::InitiateSystemShutdown
582
583(MACHINE, MESSAGE, TIMEOUT, FORCECLOSE, REBOOT)
584
585[EXT] Shutsdown the specified MACHINE, notifying users with the
586supplied MESSAGE, within the specified TIMEOUT interval. Forces
587closing of all documents without prompting the user if FORCECLOSE is
588true, and reboots the machine if REBOOT is true. This function works
589only on WinNT.
590
591=item Win32::IsAdminUser()
592
593[EXT] Returns non zero if the account in whose security context the
594current process/thread is running belongs to the local group of
595Administrators in the built-in system domain; returns 0 if not.
596Returns the undefined value and prints a warning if an error occurred.
597This function always returns 1 on Win9X.
598
599=item Win32::IsWinNT()
600
601[CORE] Returns non zero if the Win32 subsystem is Windows NT.
602
603=item Win32::IsWin95()
604
605[CORE] Returns non zero if the Win32 subsystem is Windows 95.
606
607=item Win32::LoadLibrary(LIBNAME)
608
609[EXT] Loads a dynamic link library into memory and returns its module
610handle. This handle can be used with Win32::GetProcAddress and
611Win32::FreeLibrary. This function is deprecated. Use the Win32::API
612module instead.
613
614=item Win32::LoginName()
615
616[CORE] Returns the username of the owner of the current perl process.
617
618=item Win32::LookupAccountName(SYSTEM, ACCOUNT, DOMAIN, SID, SIDTYPE)
619
620[EXT] Looks up ACCOUNT on SYSTEM and returns the domain name the SID and
621the SID type.
622
623=item Win32::LookupAccountSID(SYSTEM, SID, ACCOUNT, DOMAIN, SIDTYPE)
624
625[EXT] Looks up SID on SYSTEM and returns the account name, domain name,
626and the SID type.
627
628=item Win32::MsgBox(MESSAGE [, FLAGS [, TITLE]])
629
630[EXT] Create a dialogbox containing MESSAGE. FLAGS specifies the
631required icon and buttons according to the following table:
632
633 0 = OK
634 1 = OK and Cancel
635 2 = Abort, Retry, and Ignore
636 3 = Yes, No and Cancel
637 4 = Yes and No
638 5 = Retry and Cancel
639
640 MB_ICONSTOP "X" in a red circle
641 MB_ICONQUESTION question mark in a bubble
642 MB_ICONEXCLAMATION exclamation mark in a yellow triangle
643 MB_ICONINFORMATION "i" in a bubble
644
645TITLE specifies an optional window title. The default is "Perl".
646
647The function returns the menu id of the selected push button:
648
649 0 Error
650
651 1 OK
652 2 Cancel
653 3 Abort
654 4 Retry
655 5 Ignore
656 6 Yes
657 7 No
658
659=item Win32::NodeName()
660
661[CORE] Returns the Microsoft Network node-name of the current machine.
662
663=item Win32::RegisterServer(LIBRARYNAME)
664
665[EXT] Loads the DLL LIBRARYNAME and calls the function DllRegisterServer.
666
667=item Win32::SetChildShowWindow(SHOWWINDOW)
668
669[CORE] Sets the I<ShowMode> of child processes started by system().
670By default system() will create a new console window for child
671processes if Perl itself is not running from a console. Calling
672SetChildShowWindow(0) will make these new console windows invisible.
673Calling SetChildShowWindow() without arguments reverts system() to the
674default behavior. The return value of SetChildShowWindow() is the
675previous setting or C<undef>.
676
677[EXT] The following symbolic constants for SHOWWINDOW are available
678(but not exported) from the Win32 module: SW_HIDE, SW_SHOWNORMAL,
679SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED and SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE.
680
681=item Win32::SetCwd(NEWDIRECTORY)
682
683[CORE] Sets the current active drive and directory. This function does not
684work with UNC paths, since the functionality required to required for
685such a feature is not available under Windows 95.
686
687=item Win32::SetLastError(ERROR)
688
689[CORE] Sets the value of the last error encountered to ERROR. This is
690that value that will be returned by the Win32::GetLastError()
691function.
692
693=item Win32::Sleep(TIME)
694
695[CORE] Pauses for TIME milliseconds. The timeslices are made available
696to other processes and threads.
697
698=item Win32::Spawn(COMMAND, ARGS, PID)
699
700[CORE] Spawns a new process using the supplied COMMAND, passing in
701arguments in the string ARGS. The pid of the new process is stored in
702PID. This function is deprecated. Please use the Win32::Process module
703instead.
704
705=item Win32::UnregisterServer(LIBRARYNAME)
706
707[EXT] Loads the DLL LIBRARYNAME and calls the function
708DllUnregisterServer.
709
710=back
