=head1 NAME
virt-win-reg - Export and merge Windows Registry entries from a Windows guest
=head1 SYNOPSIS
virt-win-reg domname 'HKLM\Path\To\Subkey'
virt-win-reg domname 'HKLM\Path\To\Subkey' name
virt-win-reg domname 'HKLM\Path\To\Subkey' @
virt-win-reg --merge domname [input.reg ...]
virt-win-reg [--options] disk.img ... # instead of domname
=head1 WARNING
You must I<not> use C<virt-win-reg> with the C<--merge> option on live
virtual machines. If you do this, you I<will> get irreversible disk
corruption in the VM. C<virt-win-reg> tries to stop you from doing
this, but doesn't catch all cases.
Modifying the Windows Registry is an inherently risky operation. The format
is deliberately obscure and undocumented, and Registry changes
can leave the system unbootable. Therefore when using the C<--merge>
option, make sure you have a reliable backup first.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This program can export and merge Windows Registry entries from a
Windows guest.
The first parameter is the libvirt guest name or the raw disk image of
a Windows guest.
If C<--merge> is I<not> specified, then the chosen registry
key is displayed/exported (recursively). For example:
$ virt-win-reg Windows7 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft'
You can also display single values from within registry keys,
for example:
$ cvkey='HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion'
$ virt-win-reg Windows7 $cvkey ProductName
Windows 7 Enterprise
With C<--merge>, you can merge a textual regedit file into
the Windows Registry:
$ virt-win-reg --merge Windows7 changes.reg
=head2 SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
The program currently supports Windows NT-derived guests starting with
Windows XP through to at least Windows 7.
Registry support is done for C<HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM>,
C<HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY>, C<HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE>,
C<HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM> and C<HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT>.
You can use C<HKLM> as a shorthand for C<HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>, and
C<HKU> for C<HKEY_USERS>.
C<HKEY_USERS\$SID> and C<HKEY_CURRENT_USER> are B<not> supported at
this time.
=head2 NOTE
This program is only meant for simple access to the registry. If you
want to do complicated things with the registry, we suggest you
download the Registry hive files from the guest using L<libguestfs(3)>
or L<guestfish(1)> and access them locally, eg. using L<hivex(3)>,
L<hivexsh(1)> or L<hivexregedit(1)>.
=head2 ENCODING
C<virt-win-reg> expects that regedit files have already been reencoded
in the local encoding. Usually on Linux hosts, this means UTF-8 with
Unix-style line endings. Since Windows regedit files are often in
UTF-16LE with Windows-style line endings, you may need to reencode the
whole file before or after processing.
To reencode a file from Windows format to Linux (before processing it
with the C<--merge> option), you would do something like this:
iconv -f utf-16le -t utf-8 < win.reg | dos2unix > linux.reg
To go in the opposite direction, after exporting and before sending
the file to a Windows user, do something like this:
unix2dos linux.reg | iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-16le > win.reg
For more information about encoding, see L<Win::Hivex::Regedit(3)>.
If you are unsure about the current encoding, use the L<file(1)>
command. Recent versions of Windows regedit.exe produce a UTF-16LE
file with Windows-style (CRLF) line endings, like this:
$ file software.reg
software.reg: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode text, with very long lines,
with CRLF line terminators
This file would need conversion before you could C<--merge> it.
=head2 SHELL QUOTING
Be careful when passing parameters containing C<\> (backslash) in the
shell. Usually you will have to use 'single quotes' or double
backslashes (but not both) to protect them from the shell.
Paths and value names are case-insensitive.
=head2 CurrentControlSet etc.
Registry keys like C<CurrentControlSet> don't really exist in the
Windows Registry at the level of the hive file, and therefore you
cannot modify these.
C<CurrentControlSet> is usually an alias for C<ControlSet001>. In
some circumstances it might refer to another control set. The way
to find out is to look at the C<HKLM\SYSTEM\Select> key:
# virt-win-reg WindowsGuest 'HKLM\SYSTEM\Select'
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select]
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002
"Default" is the one which Windows will choose when it boots.
Similarly, other C<Current...> keys in the path may need to
be replaced.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=cut
my $help;
=item B<--help>
Display brief help.
=cut
my $version;
=item B<--version>
Display version number and exit.
=cut
my $debug;
=item B<--debug>
Enable debugging messages.
=cut
my $uri;
=item B<--connect URI> | B<-c URI>
If using libvirt, connect to the given I<URI>. If omitted, then we
connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used
at all.
=cut
my $merge;
=item B<--merge>
In merge mode, this merges a textual regedit file into the Windows
Registry of the virtual machine. If this flag is I<not> given then
virt-win-reg displays or exports Registry entries instead.
Note that C<--merge> is I<unsafe> to use on live virtual machines, and
will result in disk corruption. However exporting (without this flag)
is always safe.
=cut
my $encoding;
=item B<--encoding> UTF-16LE|ASCII
When merging (only), you may need to specify the encoding for strings
to be used in the hive file. This is explained in detail in
L<Win::Hivex::Regedit(3)/ENCODING STRINGS>.
The default is to use UTF-16LE, which should work with recent versions
of Windows.
