NAME¶
fsck.winregfs - Check a Windows registry file
SYNOPSIS¶
fsck.winregfs [-v] hivefile
DESCRIPTION¶
fsck.winregfs scans a Windows registry hive file for problems that
indicate the hive has been damaged by hardware or software issues. If the
-v option is specified, the program will output detailed information
about the problems it finds.
LIMITATIONS¶
fsck.winregfs works by recursively reading the key and value data
structures in the registry hive. Currently it does not read the actual data
stored in a value, and due to the nature of the ntreg library's interfaces the
checks are currently limited to reporting that errors exist; the details of
the error conditions encountered are not broken down in the final output.
