[augeas-devel] Windows registry files?

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Transfering this discussion from #augeas, does Augeas support Windows
Registry files?

There are two forms of these files.  One sort is a binary blob, which
I'm not interested in.  But there is also an ASCII representation, and
it's easy to convert between the two in both Windows and in Linux
(using the 'regex' command) [1].

What I'm particularly interested in are the user.reg and system.reg
files that Wine uses.

For reference, I've uploaded examples here:

  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/user.reg
  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/system.reg

Also, registry blobs from a real Windows 2003 machine, converted to
ASCII using Fedora regex program [warning: both fairly large]:

  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/software.reg
  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/w2k3-system.reg
