The documentation for the 32-bit LIB utility says that the /LIST option can
be used to determine the contents on an existing library. The output for an
object library is a list of the names of the object modules used to build
the library. However, the output for an import library is the name of the
module-definition (.DEF) file or the DLL, repeated for each imported
symbol.
For example, run the following command to view the contents of the import
library GDI32.LIB:
The output is as follows:
LIB 1.0
gdi32.def
gdi32.def
gdi32.def
...
gdi32.def
gdi32.def
LIB 2.5x
gdi32.dll
gdi32.dll
gdi32.dll
...
gdi32.dll
gdi32.dll
This is the format of an import library: all of its modules have the same
name. Microsoft LINK relies on this information during linking.
