This is the registry library. The registry is basically a bunch of
hives that can be loaded from different places.
The various registry backends provide support for loading/saving
specific types of hives:
2004-12-10 23:07:04 +03:00
- 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:
2004-12-10 23:07:04 +03:00
- reg_open_local() - load local registry, see below
- reg_open_remote() - connect to remote registry over RPC
- reg_open_wine() (not working yet)
2005-08-18 11:00:37 +04:00
reg_open_local() loads a set of hives based on smb.conf settings.
2004-12-10 23:07:04 +03:00
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.

On Windows the various registry hives are loaded from:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
HKEY_CURRENT_USER: %Profile%\NTUser.dat
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Sam
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Security
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Default
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE: is autogenerated
