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 Win-
     dows 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_MA-
     CHINE\SYSTEM" is not a valid path).

     If the subkey exists, then the output lists all data pairs under this sub-
     key, 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 in-
     terest (use "@" for the default value).

     The corresponding data item is printed "raw" (ie. no processing or escap-
     ing) 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.
