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

ok so this is regedit, from the Wine Programs corner of the universe. Welcome, pull up a chair. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

regedit — the Wine registry editor. that's it, that's the vibe. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

regedit [text file]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so regedit is the Wine registry editor, and it's designed to be compatible with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. twinsies, basically. 🫶

If you call it without any options at all? It just starts up the full GUI editor. like, the whole sparkly visual situation. ✨

Little detail that matters: the switches are case-insensitive, and you can prefix them with either - or /. both work, no cap. 💅

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -E file [regpath] — exports the content of the registry key you specify to the file you specify. If you don't give a key, it exports the whole entire registry. the whole thing. 😳
  • -D regpath — deletes the registry key you specified. bye bestie 💀 (careful, it's a delete, it does exactly what it says)
  • -S — run regedit silently (ignored, CLI mode is always silent anyway). this exists purely for compatibility with Windows regedit, so it's giving fake functional. 🙈
  • -V — run regedit in advanced mode (ignored). also just here for Windows regedit compatibility. ✨
  • -L location — specifies the location of the system.dat registry file (ignored). yep, another Windows regedit compatibility one. 🎀
  • -R location — specifies the location of the user.dat registry file (ignored). same deal, compatibility only. 🌸
  • -? — prints a help message. any other options are ignored. so this one's the main character of the help situation. 👑
  • -C file.reg — create registry from file.reg (unimplemented). it's literally not implemented, so don't come for me. 😭

💀 BUGS 💀

Bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. if something's cursed, tell the tracker, not me. 🐛

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

regedit is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through WineHQ, the Wine development headquarters. that's the plug. go get it. 🔥
