Rust bindings to MS Windows Registry API. Work in progress.
Current features:
- Basic registry operations:
- open/create/delete keys
- read and write values
- seamless conversion between
REG_*
types and rust primitivesString
andOsString
<=REG_SZ
,REG_EXPAND_SZ
orREG_MULTI_SZ
String
,&str
andOsStr
=>REG_SZ
u32
<=>REG_DWORD
u64
<=>REG_QWORD
- Iteration through key names and through values
- Transactions
- Transacted serialization of rust types into/from registry (only primitives and structures for now)

- Breaking change: remove deprecated
Error::description
(#28) - Optimize
Iterator::nth()
for theEnum*
iterators (#29)
- Add
RegKey::delete_subkey_with_flags()
(#27)
- Add
last_write_time
field toRegKeyMetadata
(returned byRegKey::query_info()
) (#25). - Add
get_last_write_time_system()
andget_last_write_time_chrono()
(underchrono
feature) methods toRegKeyMetadata
.
- Breaking change:
create_subkey
,create_subkey_with_flags
,create_subkey_transacted
andcreate_subkey_transacted_with_flags
now return a tuple which contains the subkey and its disposition which can beREG_CREATED_NEW_KEY
orREG_OPENED_EXISTING_KEY
(#21). - Examples fixed to not use
unwrap
according to Rust API guidelines.
- Breaking change:
open_subkey
now opens a key with readonly permissions. Usecreate_subkey
oropen_subkey_with_flags
to open with read-write permissins. - Breaking change: features
transactions
andserialization-serde
are now disabled by default. - Breaking change: serialization now uses
serde
instead ofrustc-serialize
. winapi
updated to0.3
.- Documentation fixes (#14)
- Make transactions and serialization otional features
- Update dependensies + minor fixes (#12)
- Implement
FromRegValue
forOsString
andToRegValue
forOsStr
(#8) - Minor fixes
- Add
copy_tree
method toRegKey
- Now checked with rust-clippy
- no more
unwrap
s - replaced
to_string
withto_owned
- no more
- Fix: reading strings longer than 2048 characters (#6)
- Fix: now able to read values longer than 2048 bytes (#3)
- Fix:
FromRegValue
trait now requiresSized
(fixes build with rust 1.4)
- Fix: bump
winapi
version to fix build
- Add transactions support and make serialization transacted
- Breaking change: use
std::io::{Error,Result}
instead of ownRegError
andRegResult
