Syntax

DllFunction.SymbolName

Data Type

String

Purpose

Returns the symbol name of a function in a DLL.

Remarks

There can be up to three different names for a function: DisplayName , UniqueDisplayName and SymbolName .

The DisplayName is the simple function name. The UniqueDisplayName is a name that contains parameter type information to distinguish different function overloads in the DLL. If no overloads for a function exist, DisplayName is the same as UniqueDisplayName . The SymbolName is the name exported from the DLL. For C++ functions, the SymbolName contains decorations that encode parameter type information. SymbolName is also a unique name, but it is not intended to be displayed.
