NAME
       reged - utility to export/import and edit a Windows registry hives

SYNOPSIS
       reged [options] -x<registryhivefile><prefixstring><key><output.reg>

       reged [options] -I<registryhivefile><prefixstring><input.reg>

       reged [options] -e<registryhivefile>

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the reged command.  This manual page
       was written for the Debian distribution because	the  original  program
       does not have a manual page.

       reged  is  the  an interactive command line utility that can be used to
       export, import or edit a Microsoft Windows registry hive.

OPTIONS
       -h     Show summary of options.

       -x <registryhivefile> <prefixstring> <key> <output.reg>
	      Export parts of a hive file to a	text  registry	(.reg)	 file.
	      Prefixstring  indicates  the  part  of the registry hive to dump
	      (for example HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE). The  <key>  parameter
	      defines  the  key	 to dump (recursively). You can use \ or \\ to
	      list all the keys in the hive file.

	      Only one hive file and one .reg file can be defined.

       -I <registryhivefile> <prefixstring> <input.reg>
	      Import the content of the input.reg file into the registry file.
	      The value <prefixstring> can be any valid prefix, for example is
	      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.

	      Only one .reg and one hive file supported at the same time

       -e <registryhive> ...
	      Interactive edit one or more registry files.

       -L     Log all changed filenames to /tmp/changed. When this  option  is
	      set  the	program	 automatically	saves  the changes in the hive
	      files without prompting the user.

	      Be careful when using the -L option as a root user in  a	multi‐
	      user  system.   The  filename  is	 fixed and this can be used by
	      malicious users (dropping a symlink with the same name) to over‐
	      write system files.

       -C     Automatically save all changes. Do not prompt the user.

       -N     Do  not  allocate	 more  information,  only allow the editing of
	      existing values with same size.

       -E     Do not expand the hive file (safe mode).

       -t     Print debug information of allocated blocks.

       -v     Print verbose information and debug messages.
