GhidraLookup Plugin

The GhidraLookup plugin aims to help user lookup documentations of Win API functions.

Usage

Right click on a Function in the Decompile Window, if the function is part of the Win32 API, the option Lookup Win32 Documentation would be available.

Clicking on the option brings up the documentation window. It displays the function signature and possible constants for each parameter.
