winreg
Rust bindings to MS Windows Registry API. Work in progress.
Current features:
- Basic registry operations:
- open/create/delete/rename keys
- load application hive from a file
- read and write values
- seamless conversion between
REG_*types and rust primitivesStringandOsString<=REG_SZ,REG_EXPAND_SZorREG_MULTI_SZString,&str,OsString,&OsStr=>REG_SZVec<String>,Vec<OsString><=REG_MULTI_SZVec<String>,Vec<&str>,Vec<OsString>,Vec<&OsStr>=>REG_MULTI_SZu32<=>REG_DWORDu64<=>REG_QWORD
- Iteration through key names and through values
- Transactions
- Transacted serialization of rust types into/from registry (only primitives, structures and maps for now)
