hivexml(1)                     Windows Registry                     hivexml(1)


NAME
       hivexml - 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.
