KNSoft.NDK

KNSoft.NDK provides native C/C++ definitions and import libraries for Windows NT development.

Feature

• Windows NT
  • Undocumented API declarations and type definitions, e.g. Nt/Zw*, Ldr*, PEB, TEB, LDR_*, ...
  • Import library for Windows DLL exports, e.g. KERNEL32.dll!CreateProcessInternalW, ntdll.dll!LdrRegisterDllNotification, ...
  • Addendum to Windows SDK
  • Extension macros and definitions, e.g. NtCurrentPeb(), PEB(64/32), TEB(64/32), ...
• Packages
  • SMBIOS Specification
  • CPUID Specification
  • Unit Test Framework
  • StrSafe.h (different from strsafe.h in Windows SDK)

Usage

TL;DR

Include NDK.h instead of (or BEFORE) Windows.h will do.

#include <KNSoft/NDK/NDK.h>

NuGet package KNSoft.NDK includes all the headers and import libraries.
