5        reglookup - windows NT+ registry reader/lookup tool

8=SYNOPSIS=
9        reglookup [options] <REGISTRY_FILE>
10
11
12=DESCRIPTION=
13        reglookup is designed to read windows registry elements and
14        print them out to stdout in a CSV-like format.  It has filtering
15        options to narrow the focus of the output.  This tool is
16        designed to work with on windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 registries, though
17        your mileage may vary.
18
19
20=OPTIONS=
21        -p  <PREFIX_FILTER>     
22                Specify a path prefix filter.  Only keys/values under
23                this registry path will be output.
24
25        -t  <TYPE_FILTER>
26                Specify a type filter.  Only elements which match this
27                registry data type will be printed.  Acceptable values
28                are: SZ,EXPAND_SZ,BINARY,DWORD,DWORD_BE,LINK,MULTI_SZ,
29                     RSRC_LIST,RSRC_DESC,RSRC_REQ_LIST,KEY
30
31        -s      Adds four additional columns to output containing
32                information from key security descriptors.  The columns
33                are: owner, group, sacl, dacl.
34                (This feature's output probably contains bugs right now.)
35
36        -S      Disables the printing of security descriptor
37                information.
38
39        -v      Verbose output.
40                (Currently does little to nothing.)
41
42
43        REGISTRY_FILE
44                Required argument.  Specifies the location of the
45                registry file to read.  Typically, these files will be
46                found on a NTFS partition under
47                %SystemRoot%/system32/config.
48
49
50=EXAMPLES=
51        To read and print the contents of an entire system registry
52        file:
53
54          **reglookup /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
55
56        To limit the output to just those entries under the Services
57        key:
58
59          **reglookup -p /ControlSet002/Services /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
60
61        To limit the output to all registry values of type BINARY:
62
63          **reglookup -t BINARY /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
64       
65        And to limit the output to BINARY values under the Services key:
66
67          **reglookup -t BINARY -p /ControlSet002/Services /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
68

70=BUGS=
71        The current incarnation of this program has only been tested on
72        windows 2K/XP.
73
74        Verbose output is not working.
75
76        You'll notice that registry paths aren't all the same as the
77        ones the equivalents you see in the windows registry editor.
78        Don't ask me why that is.  I just work here.
79
80        This software should be considered unstable at this time.
81
82
83=CREDITS=
84        This program was initially based on editreg.c by
85        Richard Sharpe.  It has since been rewritten to use a modified
86        version the regfio library written by Gerald Carter.  Heavy
87        modifications to the library and the original command line
88        interface have been done by Timothy D. Morgan.
