Hivetools

Hivetools aims at providing a flexible API by which one can access data stored in the registry. Also included are a set of (currently rudimentry) programs that Leverage the API. The software is organized into a low-level library (lib), a mid-level library (hivetools) and user programs (bin). The low-level library provides access to raw hive files. Its interface attempts to approximate that of the win32 registry API. The mid-level library facilitates use of the low-level library. It provides a POSIX-like API as well as functions that operate on data stored within the registry (such as Sam data). The programs leverage both the mid and low-level libraries. They allow users to perform actions upon the registry.
