REGEDIT(1)

📦 version 6.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 REGEDIT(1) — the Wine registry editor, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is regedit, aka the Wine registry editor, and she was literally designed to be compatible with her Microsoft Windows counterpart. no cap. If you call her with zero options, she opens up the full GUI editor — main character energy, slay. 👑

Also, heads up: the switches are case-insensitive and you can prefix them with either - or /. So -S and /s are the same vibe. iykyk. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

regedit [text file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, regedit is the Wine registry editor, fr fr. She's built to be compatible with the Microsoft Windows one, so if you know that one you already know her. 🫶

If you run her with no options at all? Boom — full GUI editor opens. That's the default, that's the moment. 🎀

And the switches? Case-insensitive, bestie. You can prefix them with - or /, whichever feels right in your heart. Both ate. 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -E file [regpath] — Exports the content of the registry key you point at to the file you name. If you don't specify a key, she exports the whole entire registry. Go big or go home, honestly. 📦
  • -D regpath — Deletes the registry key you specified. Gone. Poof. 💀
  • -S — Runs regedit silently. (Which is ignored, btw, because CLI mode is always silent.) She only exists for compatibility with Windows regedit. 🤫
  • -V — Runs regedit in advanced mode. (Also ignored.) Again, she's just here for Windows regedit compatibility. 💜
  • -L location — Specifies the location of the system.dat registry file. (Ignored.) Yep, another Windows-compatibility girlie. 🗂️
  • -R location — Specifies the location of the user.dat registry file. (Ignored.) Same deal, Windows-compatibility queen. 👑
  • -? — Prints a help message. Any other options are ignored when you do this. 🆘
  • -C file.reg — Create registry from file.reg. (unimplemented) — so like, she's not doing this yet, bestie. 😭

😭 BUGS 😭

Bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. If you find one, tell her — she wants to grow. 🦋

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

regedit is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through WineHQ, the Wine development headquarters. That's where she lives. 🏠✨
