Virt-inspector can produce output in several formats, including a
readable text report, and XML for feeding into other programs.

-If this item is passed, I<and> the guest is Windows, I<and> the
-external program C<reged> is available (see SEE ALSO section), then we
-attempt to parse the Windows registry. This allows much more
-information to be gathered for Windows guests.
+This flag is ignored for compatibility with earlier releases of the
+software.
-This is quite an expensive and slow operation, so we don't do it by
-default.
+In this version, if L<Win::Hivex(3)> is available, then we attempt to
+parse information out of the Registry for any Windows guest.
The diagram above shows what we return for each OS.
With the I<--xml> option the output is mapped into an XML document.

-Unfortunately there is no clear schema for this document

+There is a RELAX-NG schema for this XML in the file
