This is the textual format that is commonly used on Windows for distributing groups of Windows Registry changes, and this format is read and written by the proprietary C and C programs supplied with Windows. It is I the same as the binary "hive" format which the hivex library itself can read and write. Note that the regedit format is not well-specified, and hence deviations can occur between what the Windows program can read/write and what we can read/write. (Please file bugs for any deviations found). Win::Hivex::Regedit is the low-level Perl library. There is also a command line tool for combining hive files and reg files (L). If you have a Windows virtual machine that you need to merge regedit-format changes into, use the high-level L tool (part of libguestfs tools). =head2 FUNCTIONS =cut package Win::Hivex::Regedit; use strict; use warnings; use Carp qw(croak confess); use Encode qw(encode decode); require Exporter; use vars qw(@EXPORT_OK @ISA); @ISA = qw(Exporter); @EXPORT_OK = qw(reg_import reg_export); =head2 reg_import reg_import ($fh, ($h|$map), [encoding => "UTF-16LE"]); This function imports the registry keys from file handle C<$fh> either into the hive C<$h> or via a map function. The hive handle C<$h> must have been opened for writing, ie. using the C 1> flag to Copen>. In the binary hive file, the first part of the key name (eg. C) is not stored. You just have to know (somehow) that this maps to the C hive. Therefore if you are given a file containing a mixture of keys that have to be added to different hives, you have to have a way to map these to the hive handles. This is outside the scope of the hivex library, but if the second argument is a CODEREF (ie. reference to a function) then this C<$map> function is called on each key name: map ($keyname) ==> ($h, $keyname) As shown, the function should return a pair, hive handle, and the true key name (with the prefix stripped off). For example: sub map { if ($_[0] =~ /^HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE(.*)/i) { return ($software_h, $1); } else ... } C is the encoding used by default for strings. If not specified, this defaults to C<"UTF-16LE">, however we highly advise you to specify it. See L below. As with the regedit program, we merge the new registry keys with existing ones, and new node values with old ones. You can use the C<-> (minus) character to delete individual keys and values. This is explained in detail in the Wikipedia page on the Windows Registry. Remember you need to call C<$h-Ecommit (undef)> on the hivex handle before any changes are written to the hive file. See L. =cut sub reg_import { local $_; my $fh = shift; my $hmap = shift; my %params = @_; my $encoding = $params{encoding} || "utf-16le"; my $state = "outer"; my $newnode; my @newvalues; my @delvalues; my $lineno = 0; while (<$fh>) { # Join continuation lines.

C<$key> is a case-insensitive path of the node to start from, relative to the root of the hive. It is an error if this path does not exist. Path elements should be separated by backslash characters. C<$prefix> is prefixed to each key name. The usual use for this is to make key names appear as they would on Windows. For example the key C<\Foo> in the SOFTWARE Registry, with $prefix C, would be written as: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Foo] "Key 1"=... "Key 2"=... If C is not given or is false, then the output is written as pure 7 bit ASCII, with line endings which are the default for the local host. Strings are always encoded as hex bytes. This is safe because it preserves the original content and encoding of strings. See L below. If C is true, then strings are assumed to be UTF-16LE and are converted to UTF-8 for output. The final zero codepoint in the string is removed if there is one. This is unsafe because it does not preserve the fidelity of the strings in the Registry and because the content type of strings is not always UTF-16LE. However it is useful if you just want to display strings for quick hacking and debugging. You may need to convert the file's encoding using L and line endings using L if sending to a Windows user. Nodes and keys are sorted alphabetically in the output. This function does I print a header. The real regedit program will print a header like: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 followed by a blank line. (Other headers are possible, see the Wikipedia page on the Windows Registry). If you want a header, you need to write it out yourself. =cut sub reg_export { my $h = shift; my $key = shift; my $node = _node_lookup ($h, $key); croak "$key: path not found in this hive" unless $node; reg_export_node ($h, $node, @_); } =head2 reg_export_node reg_export_node ($h, $node, $fh, ...); This is exactly the same as L except that instead of specifying the path to a key as a string, you pass a hivex library C<$node> handle. =cut sub reg_export_node { local $_; my $h = shift; my $node = shift; my $fh = shift; my %params = @_; confess "reg_export_node: \$node parameter was undef" unless defined $node; # Get the canonical path of this node. my $path = _node_canonical_path ($h, $node); # Print the path. print $fh "["; my $prefix = $params{prefix}; if (defined $prefix) { chop $prefix if substr ($prefix, -1, 1) eq "\\"; print $fh $prefix; } print $fh $path; print $fh "]\n"; my $unsafe_printable_strings = $params{unsafe_printable_strings}; # Get the values. my @values = $h->node_values ($node); foreach (@values) { use bytes; my $key = $h->value_key ($_); my ($type, $data) = $h->value_value ($_); $_ = { key => $key, type => $type, data => $data } } @values = sort { $a->{key} cmp $b->{key} } @values; # Print the values. foreach (@values) { my $key = $_->{key}; my $type = $_->{type}; my $data = $_->{data}; if ($key eq "") { print $fh '@=' # default key } else { print $fh '"', _escape_quotes ($key), '"=' } if ($type eq 4 && length ($data) == 4) { # only handle dword specially my $dword = unpack ("V", $data); printf $fh "dword:%08x\n", $dword } elsif ($unsafe_printable_strings && ($type eq 1 || $type eq 2)) { # Guess that the encoding is UTF-16LE.

There are two main encodings that you would find in the binary (hive) file, 7 bit ASCII and UTF-16LE. (Other encodings are possible, it's also possible to have arbitrary binary data incorrectly marked with a string type). The hive file itself doesn't contain any indication of string encoding. Windows probably guesses the encoding. We think that regedit probably either guesses which encoding to use based on the file encoding, or else has different defaults for different versions of Windows. Neither choice is appropriate for a tool used in a real operating system. When using L, you should specify the default encoding for strings using the C parameter. If not specified, it defaults to UTF-16LE. The file itself that is imported should be in the local encoding for files (usually UTF-8 on modern Linux systems). This means if you receive a regedit file from a Windows system, you may sometimes have to reencode it: iconv -f utf-16le -t utf-8 < input.reg | dos2unix > output.reg When writing regedit files (L) we bypass this madness completely. I strings (even pure ASCII) are written as hex bytes so there is no doubt about how they should be encoded when they are read back in. =cut 1; =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2010-2011 Red Hat Inc. =head1 LICENSE Please see the file COPYING.LIB for the full license. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L. =cut
