5 hivexget - Get subkey from a Windows Registry binary "hive" file
9 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey'
11 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey' name
15 I<Note:> This is a low-level tool. For a more convenient way to

20 file and extracts I<either> all the (key, value) data pairs
21 stored in that subkey I<or> just the single named data item.
25 hivexget hivefile '\Path\To\SubKey'
27 C<hivefile> is some Windows Registry binary hive, and C<\Path\To\Subkey>
28 is a path within that hive. I<NB> the path is relative to the top
29 of this hive, and is I<not> the full path as you would use in Windows
30 (eg. C<\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> is not a valid path).
32 If the subkey exists, then the output lists all data pairs under this
33 subkey, in a format compatible with C<regedit> in Windows.

39 C<hivefile> and path are as above. C<name> is the name of the value
