5        reglookup - Windoze NT/2K/XP registry reader/lookup tool

8=SYNOPSIS=
9        reglookup [options] <REGISTRY_FILE>
10
11
12=DESCRIPTION=
13        reglookup is designed to read Windoze registry elements and
14        print them out to stdout.  It has several filtering options to
15        narrow the focus of the output.
16
17
18=OPTIONS=
19        -f<PREFIX_FILTER>       
20                Specify a path filter.  Only keys/values under this
21                registry path will be output.
22
23        -t<TYPE_FILTER>
24                Specify a type filter.  Only elements which match this
25                registry data type will be printed.  Acceptable values
26                are: SZ,EXPAND_SZ,BIN,DWORD,MULTI_SZ,KEY
27
28        -s      Print security descriptors as well as keys/values/data.
29                (This feature's output is not standardized, and probably
30                contains bugs.)
31       
32        -v      Verbose output.
33
34
35        REGISTRY_FILE
36                Required argument.  Specifies the location of the
37                registry file to read.  Typically, these files will be
38                found on a Windoze partition under
39                %SystemRoot%/system32/config.
40
41
42=EXAMPLES=
43        To read and print an entire registry:
44
45        **reglookup /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
46
47        To limit the output to just those entries under the Services
48        key:
49
50        **reglookup -f'$$$PROTO.HIV/ControlSet002/Services' /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
51
52        To limit the output to all registry values of type BIN:
53
54        **reglookup -tBIN /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
55       
56        And to limit the output to BIN values under the Services key:
57
58        **reglookup -tBIN -f'$$$PROTO.HIV/ControlSet002/Services' /mnt/win/c/WINNT/system32/config/system**
59
60
61=BUGS=
62        Path filtering is currently a slow hack.
63
64        The current incarnation of this program has only been tested on
65        Windoze 2000.
66
67        You'll notice that registry paths aren't all the same as the
68        ones the equivalents you see in Windoze.  Don't ask me why that
69        is.  I just work here.
70
71        This software should be considered unstable at this time.
