hivexget - Get subkey from a Windows Registry binary "hive" file
hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' name
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).
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:
hivex(3), hivexml(1), hivexsh(1), hivexregedit(1), virt-win-reg(1), guestfs(3), <http://libguestfs.org/>, virt-cat(1), virt-edit(1).
