Can a dll query it's own name?

Is it possible for a dll to query it's won name on startup? For
instance I am building a simple VST audio plugin and I would like the
plugin to return the name and path of itself at startup. Is this
possible?

Rory.

Yes, but not in standard C++ language. Please ask about dlls in the
newsgroup dedicated to your OS, they are OS-specific and as such are
off-topic here.

"dll" is not a C++ *language* concept, so your query is off-topic here;
try a MS Windows forum. See eg.:
