hivexml - Man Page

Convert Windows Registry binary "hive" into XML

Synopsis

 hivexml [-dk] hivefile > output.xml

Description

This program converts a single Windows Registry binary "hive" file into a self-describing XML format.

Options

-d

Enable lots of debug messages.  If you find a Registry file that this program cannot parse, please enable this option and post the complete output and the Registry file in your bug report.

-k

Keep going even if we find errors in the Registry file.  This skips over any parts of the Registry that we cannot read.

-u

Use heuristics to tolerate certain levels of corruption within hives.

This is unsafe but may allow to export/merge valid keys/values in an othewise corrupted hive.
