Summary

Allows access to the image optional header.


Pascal

 public property OptionalHeader32: TImageOptionalHeader32;


Description

Read OptionalHeader to gain access to the optional header of the loaded PE file. The optional header contains fields standard to all COFF implementations, Windows specific fields such as the target subsytem and allows access to all data directories. Generally speaking, it provides all information for the Windows loader to successfully load the image. Note that not all valid PE image files have an optional header. Specifically an object file (.obj) doesn't necessarily have one (that's why it's called optional). See "Portable Executable and Common Object File Format Specification" Revision 6.0 February 1999 in the MSDN library for a description of the fields in the returned record.
