hivexget(1)		       Windows Registry			   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.
