NAME

regsort - sorts a dump of a windows 9x registry


SYNOPSYS

regsort [-v] [-V] [file]


DESCRIPTION

regsort reads a windows 9x registry dump from the specified file (or from standard input, if no file is given), sorts the dump and prints the results to standard output. Both the keys within the dump and the entries within the keys are sorted in ascending order.

Typically used to sort a dump obtained from the windows 9x regedit (which is generally unordered) so it can be used as input to regdiff.


OPTIONS

-v

Verbose output: indicates on standard error what it is doing (including printing a dot for every 100 keys it reads).

-V

Prints the version number - the program then exits immediately.


SEE ALSO
