DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the reged command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
reged is the an interactive command line utility that can be used to export, import or edit a Microsoft Windows registry hive.
OPTIONS
- -h
- Show summary of options.
- -x <registryhivefile> <prefixstring> <key> <output.reg>
-
Export parts of a hive file to a text registry (.reg) file.
Prefixstring indicates the part of the registry hive to dump (for example
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE). The <key> parameter defines the key to dump
(recursively). You can use \ or \\ to list all the keys in the hive file.
Only one hive file and one .reg file can be defined.
- -I <registryhivefile> <prefixstring> <input.reg>
-
Import the content of the input.reg file into the registry file. The value
<prefixstring> can be any valid prefix, for example is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.
Only one .reg and one hive file supported at the same time
- -e <registryhive> ...
-
Interactive edit one or more registry files.
- -L
-
Log all changed filenames to /tmp/changed. When this option is set the
program automatically saves the changes in the hive files without prompting the
user.
Be careful when using the -L option as a root user in a multiuser system. The filename is fixed and this can be used by malicious users (dropping a symlink with the same name) to overwrite system files.
- -C
-
Automatically save all changes. Do not prompt the user.
- -N
-
Do not allocate more information, only allow the editing of existing values with same size.
- -E
-
Do not expand the hive file (safe mode).
- -t
-
Print debug information of allocated blocks.
- -v
-
Print verbose information and debug messages.
