How to get section info/offset permissions from windbg/dbgeng api? - visual-studio

Question

I am writing an extension for Windbg, and at a particular point I need to get the permissions for a memory offset, much like how !address addr would provide in Windbg. I have had a look at the available functions of the Debugger Engine API here at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff551059%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
However I have failed to find such a function that would return the section/permissions information against a memory offset. Basically I would like to get what section the address lies in, data section, text section etc, what permissions it has and so on.
The closest sounding function I have found is GetOffsetInformation in the IDebugDataSpaces4 interface. However as per the documentation, it doesn't provide anything from what I am looking for:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff548055(v=vs.85).aspx
I could always run the !address command and have its output parsed, but I was looking for a cleaner way where I could get this information directly, by using the API.
Am I missing something? Is there a documented/undocumented way I could achieve this with?

Doesnt QueryVirtual Work ?
#include <engextcpp.hpp>
class EXT_CLASS : public ExtExtension
{
public:
EXT_COMMAND_METHOD(getoffinfo);
};
EXT_DECLARE_GLOBALS();
EXT_COMMAND( getoffinfo, "", "{;e,d=0;getoffinfo;simulates !address <address>}" )
{
ULONG64 Offset = GetUnnamedArgU64(0);
if (Offset == 0)
{
Out( "usage !getoffinfo <address>\n");
}
else
{
MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION64 meminfo;
memset(&meminfo,0,sizeof(MEMORY_BASIC_INFORMATION64 ));
m_Data2->QueryVirtual(Offset,&meminfo);
Out("Allocation Base : %x\n",meminfo.AllocationBase);
Out("Base Address : %x\n",meminfo.BaseAddress);
Out("End Address : %x\n",meminfo.AllocationBase + meminfo.RegionSize);
Out("RegionSize : %x\n",meminfo.RegionSize);
Out("Type : %x\n",meminfo.Type);
Out("State : %x\n",meminfo.State);
}
}
result as follows
