/**
 * @file
 * Windows NT (and later) read-only registry library
 *
 * This library is intended for use in digital forensics investigations, but 
 * is likely useful in other applications.
 *
 * Branched from Samba project Subversion repository, version #6903:
 *   http://viewcvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/source/include/regfio.h?rev=6903&view=auto
 *
 * Since then, it has been heavily rewritten, simplified, and improved.
 */

/**
 * @mainpage Home
 *
 * The regfi library is a read-only NT registry library which serves as the main
 * engine behind the reglookup tool.  It is designed with digital forensic 
 * analysis in mind, but it should also be useful in other tools which need to 
 * efficiently traverse and query registry data structures.
 *
 * The library is broken down into four main parts, the 
 * @ref regfiBase "Base Layer", which any code dependent on the library will 
 * likely need to rely on, as well as three main functional layers: 
 * @li @ref regfiIteratorLayer
 * @li @ref regfiGlueLayer
 * @li @ref regfiParseLayer
 *
 * Most users will find that a combination of the Base Layer and the Iterator Layer 
 * will be sufficient for accessing registry hive files.  Those who are willing
 * to dive deep into registry data structures, for instance to recover deleted
 * data structures or to research Windows registry behavior in detail, will 
 * find the Parse Layer to be quite useful.
