6 hivexget - Get subkey from a Windows Registry binary "hive" file
7
9 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey'
10
11 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' name
12
14 This is a low-level tool. For a more convenient way to navigate the
15 Windows Registry in Windows virtual machines, see virt-win-reg(1). For
16 proper regedit formatting, use hivexregedit(1).
17
19 This program navigates through a Windows Registry binary "hive" file
20 and extracts either all the (key, value) data pairs stored in that
21 subkey or just the single named data item.
22
23 In the first form:
24
25 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey'
26
27 "hivefile" is some Windows Registry binary hive, and "\Path\To\Subkey"
28 is a path within that hive. NB the path is relative to the top of this
29 hive, and is not the full path as you would use in Windows (eg.
30 "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM" is not a valid path).
31
32 If the subkey exists, then the output lists all data pairs under this
33 subkey, in a format similar to "regedit" in Windows.
34
35 In the second form:
36
37 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' name
38
39 "hivefile" and path are as above. "name" is the name of the value of
40 interest (use "@" for the default value).
41
42 The corresponding data item is printed "raw" (ie. no processing or
43 escaping) except:
44
45 1. If it's a string we will convert it from Windows UTF-16 to UTF-8,
46 if this conversion is possible. The string is printed with a
47 single trailing newline.
48
49 2. If it's a multiple-string value, each string is printed on a
50 separate line.
51
52 3. If it's a numeric value, it is printed as a decimal number.
