function Get-BinaryType | |
{ | |
<# | |
.SYNOPSIS | |
Gets the binary executable type for a given set of files | |
.DESCRIPTION | |
PowerShell wrapper around the GetBinaryType Windows API that inspects file headers | |
and reports the binary file type (e.g., 32-bit Windows app, 64-bit Windows app, | |
16-bit DOS/Windows app, etc.) | |
.PARAMETER Path | |
File path(s) to inspect | |
.EXAMPLE | |
#Reports the file type of C:\Windows\Explorer.exe: | |
Get-BinaryType C:\Windows\Explorer.exe | |
.EXAMPLE | |
#Attempts to get the binary type of all files in the current directory | |
Get-ChildItem | where { !$_.PsIsContainer } | Get-BinaryType | |
.EXAMPLE | |
#Attempts to get the binary type of all exe files in the windows directory, | |
#ignoring any non-terminating errors | |
Get-ChildItem $env:windir -filter *.exe | Get-BinaryType -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | |
.EXAMPLE | |
#From a 32bit process on a 64 bit Windows install, attempts to get the binary type of all exe files | |
#in the windows system32 directory by bypassing filesystem redirection using "sysnative", | |
#ignoring any non-terminating errors, and finally showing the file name and binary type | |
Get-ChildItem $env:windir\sysnative -filter *.exe | Get-BinaryType -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -passthrough | select Name,BinaryType | |
