phnt-single-header

This repository automatically generates a single-header version of System Informer's phnt library. This repository was created because the original library is separated in many headers and can be annoying to integrate into your project.

Usage

This is a simple example of using phnt

#define PHNT_VERSION PHNT_WIN11
#include "phnt.h" // Instead of Windows.h

// Imports for ntdll.dll
#pragma comment(lib, "ntdll.lib")

static char message[] = "Hello, phnt!\r\n";

int main()
{
    IO_STATUS_BLOCK IoStatusBlock = { 0, 0 };
    NtWriteFile(
        NtCurrentPeb()->ProcessParameters->StandardOutput,
        NULL,
        NULL,
        NULL,
        &IoStatusBlock,
        message,
        strlen(message) - 1,
        NULL,
        NULL
    );
    return 0;
}

CMake

To quickly use this library from CMake, use FetchContent:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0135 NEW)
project(phnt-example)

include(FetchContent)
set(phnt_TAG "v1.2-4d1b102f")
message(STATUS "Fetching phnt (${phnt_TAG})...")
FetchContent_Declare(phnt
    URL "https://github.com/mrexodia/phnt-single-header/releases/download/${phnt_TAG}/phnt.zip"
    URL_HASH "SHA256=ccd3cbc27c83b2870f6c8d2b72d47cc75a38fc7bb57b11fc9677a9ec46710e10"
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(phnt)

add_executable(example main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example PRIVATE phnt::phnt)

Instead of FetchContent you can also extract phnt.zip to third_party/phnt in your project and do:

add_subdirectory(third_party/phnt)

The target phnt::phnt also links to ntdll.lib. If you want to avoid this you can link to phnt::headers instead.

_{Note: The CMake project in phnt.zip also works as a CMake package. After configuring and installing it, you can do find_package(phnt REQUIRED) and everything should work out of the box.}
