How to get the  thumbnail of dwg file without open it

How can I get the  thumbnail of dwg file without open it, I want to show the thumbnail  in a dialogbox.

I have read a lot of posts, but they were so many years ago, such as :

http://smartsnipp.ecomparefiles.com/code/c_sharp_windows_application/autocad_dwg_thumbnail_viewer_in...

and 

https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=45598.0

I am now working with AutoCad 2021, from these posts, It seems that I should know the dwg file structure(where the thumbnail save , how many bytes it takes...),where I can get the reference document about the structure of dwg file?or any sample code with later version of autocad.
