);


Parameters

hSnapshot [in]

A handle to the snapshot returned from a previous call to the CreateToolhelp32Snapshot function.

lpme [in, out]

A pointer to a MODULEENTRY32 structure.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if the first entry of the module list has been copied to the buffer or FALSE otherwise. The ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES error value is returned by the GetLastError function if no modules exist or the snapshot does not contain module information.
