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

okay so this is regedit, from the Wine Programs corner of the Wine universe. it's the Wine registry editor and it's designed to be compatible with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

regedit — Wine registry editor 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

regedit [text file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so regedit is the Wine registry editor, and it was designed to be compatible with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. like, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

if you call it with no options at all, it just goes ahead and starts the full GUI editor. main character energy, honestly. 👑

also super important: the switches are case-insensitive and can be prefixed either by - or /. so do whatever feels right, she's not judging. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -E file [regpath] — exports the content of the registry key you name to the file you name. if you don't specify a key at all, it exports the whole registry. the entire thing. go off. 🔥
  • -D regpath — deletes the registry key you point at. bye bestie 💀
  • -S — run regedit silently. lowkey this one is ignored, because CLI mode is always silent anyway. it exists purely for compatibility with Windows regedit. 🧚
  • -V — run regedit in advanced mode. also ignored. also just there for compatibility with Windows regedit. it's giving decorative tbh. ✨
  • -L location — specifies the location of the system.dat registry file. ignored, bestie. compatibility with Windows regedit again. 🎀
  • -R location — specifies the location of the user.dat registry file. yep, ignored. same reason: Windows regedit compatibility. 💜
  • -? — prints a help message. any other options you threw in there get ignored. rude but okay. 🙈
  • -C file.reg — create registry from file.reg. heads up: this one is unimplemented. not built yet, don't come for her. 😭

🍓 BUGS 🍓
