Kernel Streaming Extensions (Ks.dll)

Extension commands that are useful for debugging kernel streaming drivers and AVStream drivers can be found in Ks.dll.

Most of the sample output in these reference pages was generated by debugging the filter-centric sample Avssamp.sys. This sample is included in the Windows Driver Kit.

You can use the ks.dll extension commands with Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. If you wish to use these extensions with Windows 2000, you must copy ks.dll from the kdexts directory to the w2kfre directory.

You need special symbols to use this extension; see the  Debugging Tools for Windows Web site for more information.

You can get additional information for many of the extension commands in this section simply by entering the command into the debugger with no arguments.
