[windows] How to See the Contents of Windows library (*.lib)

Like it can be seen in other answers you'll have to open a Developer Command Prompt offered in your version of Visual Studio to have dumpbin.exe in your execution path. Otherwise, you can set the necessary environment variables by hand.

dumpbin /EXPORTS yourlibrary.lib will usually show just a tiny list of symbols. In many cases, it won't show the functions the library exports.

dumpbin /SYMBOLS /EXPORTS yourlibrary.lib will show that symbols, but also an incredibly huge amount of other symbos. So, you got to filter them, possibly with a pipe to findstr (if you want a MS-Windows tool), or grep.

Searching the Static keyword using one of these tools seems to be a good hint.
