This is the registry library. The registry is basically a bunch of hives
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, etc) that can be loaded from
different places.
The various registry backends provide support for loading/saving specific types
of hives:
- ldb
- w95 (USER.DAT-style files)
- nt4 (NTUSER.DAT-style files)
- gconf (GNOME configuration)
- rpc (Remote individual hives)
Instead of opening individual hives, one can also open a 'complete' registry by
using one of these three functions:
- reg_open_local() - load local registry, see below
- reg_open_remote() - connect to remote registry over RPC
- reg_open_wine() (not working yet)
reg_open_local() loads a set of hives based on smb.conf settings.
Lines in smb.conf should have the following syntax:
registry:<hivename> = <backend>:<location>
So an example usage could be:
registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER = nt4:NTUSER.DAT
registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = ldb:tdb://registry.tdb
WERR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned for all hives that haven't been set.
