!devobj

  • Article

The !devobj extension displays detailed information about a DEVICE_OBJECT structure.

!devobj DeviceObject

Parameters

DeviceObject
Specifies the device object. This can be the hexadecimal address of this structure or the name of the device.

DLL

Kdexts.dll

Additional Information

See Plug and Play Debugging for examples and applications of this extension command. For information about device objects, see the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) documentation and Microsoft Windows Internals by Mark Russinovich and David Solomon.

Remarks

If DeviceObject specifies the name of the device but supplies no prefix, the prefix "\Device\" is assumed. Note that this command will check to see if DeviceObject is a valid address or device name before using the expression evaluator.

The information displayed includes the device name of the object, information about the device's current IRP, and a list of addresses of any pending IRPs in the device's queue. It also includes information about device objects layered on top of this object (listed as "AttachedDevice") and those layered under this object (listed as "AttachedTo").

The address of a device object can be obtained using the !drvobj or !devnode extensions.

Here is one example:
