      <description lang="en" title="gendef: Generate .def files for DLLs" >
        <paragraph>gendef can extract information from DLLs to create
          corresponding .def files that list the symbols available in each DLL.
          .def files can then be used by dlltool (mingw32-binutils) to generate
          import libraries.  gendef is similar to pexports, but the two tools
          differ in how each determines the "decoration" (or calling convention)
          appropriate for each symbol, since that information is not always
          available directly from the DLL's symbol table.  gendef locates the
          symbol's code in the DLL, and uses a disassembler to determine that
          information.  pexports can use a C pre-processor to extract the
          information, provided you have the appropriate header files.  Neither
          method is foolproof, so both tools are provided.
        </paragraph>
        <paragraph>gendef was written by the MinGW64 team.  It can extract
          symbols from 32bit or 64bit EXEs or DLLs.  It can automatically detect
          stdcall, fastcall, and cdecl calling conventions and generate the
          correctly decorated function names, without requiring the header files
          or a C pre-processor.
