• Use as a library:
  • Recurse over the registry hive, from root or a given path and get all subkeys and values
  • Read specific subkeys and values
  • Apply transaction logs on a registry hive
• Command Line Tools
  • Dump an entire registry hive to json
  • Apply transaction logs on a registry hive
  • Compare registry hives
  • Execute plugins from a robust plugin system (i.e: amcache, shimcache, extract computer name...)
