DESCRIPTION

18       This manual page documents briefly the reged command.  This manual page
19       was written for the Debian distribution because  the  original  program
20       does not have a manual page.
21
22
23       reged  is  the  an interactive command line utility that can be used to
24       export, import or edit a Microsoft Windows registry hive.

OPTIONS

28       -h     Show summary of options.
29
30       -x <registryhivefile> <prefixstring> <key> <output.reg>
31              Export parts of a hive file to a  text  registry  (.reg)   file.
32              Prefixstring  indicates  the  part  of the registry hive to dump
33              (for example HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE). The  <key>  parameter
34              defines  the  key  to dump (recursively). You can use \ or \\ to
35              list all the keys in the hive file.
36
37              Only one hive file and one .reg file can be defined.
38
39
40       -I <registryhivefile> <prefixstring> <input.reg>
41              Import the content of the input.reg file into the registry file.
42              The value <prefixstring> can be any valid prefix, for example is
43              HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.
44
45              Only one .reg and one hive file supported at the same time
46
47
48       -e <registryhive> ...
49              Interactive edit one or more registry files.
50
51
52       -L     Log all changed filenames to /tmp/changed. When this  option  is
53              set  the  program  automatically  saves  the changes in the hive
54              files without prompting the user.
55
56              Be careful when using the -L option as a root user in  a  multi‐
57              user  system.   The  filename  is  fixed and this can be used by
58              malicious users (dropping a symlink with the same name) to over‐
59              write system files.
60
61
62
63       -C     Automatically save all changes. Do not prompt the user.
64
65
66       -N     Do  not  allocate  more  information,  only allow the editing of
67              existing values with same size.
68
69
70       -E     Do not expand the hive file (safe mode).
71
72
73       -t     Print debug information of allocated blocks.
74
75
76       -v     Print verbose information and debug messages.
