hivexget(1)

NAME

   hivexget - Get subkey from a Windows Registry binary "hive" file

SYNOPSIS

    hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey'

    hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' name

NOTE

   This is a low-level tool.  For a more convenient way to navigate the
   Windows Registry in Windows virtual machines, see virt-win-reg(1).  For
   proper regedit formatting, use hivexregedit(1).

DESCRIPTION

   This program navigates through a Windows Registry binary "hive" file
   and extracts either all the (key, value) data pairs stored in that
   subkey or just the single named data item.

   In the first form:

    hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey'

   "hivefile" is some Windows Registry binary hive, and "\Path\To\Subkey"
   is a path within that hive.  NB the path is relative to the top of this
   hive, and is not the full path as you would use in Windows (eg.
   "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM" is not a valid path).

   If the subkey exists, then the output lists all data pairs under this
   subkey, in a format similar to "regedit" in Windows.

   In the second form:

    hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' name

   "hivefile" and path are as above.  "name" is the name of the value of
   interest (use "@" for the default value).

   The corresponding data item is printed "raw" (ie. no processing or
   escaping) except:

   1.  If it's a string we will convert it from Windows UTF-16 to UTF-8,
       if this conversion is possible.  The string is printed with a
       single trailing newline.

   2.  If it's a multiple-string value, each string is printed on a
       separate line.

   3.  If it's a numeric value, it is printed as a decimal number.
