NAME

       fsck.winregfs - Check a Windows registry file

SYNOPSIS

       fsck.winregfs [-v] hivefile

DESCRIPTION

       fsck.winregfs  scans a Windows registry hive file for problems that indicate the hive has been damaged by
       hardware or software issues. If the -v option is specified, the program will output detailed  information
       about the problems it finds.

LIMITATIONS

       fsck.winregfs  works  by  recursively  reading  the  key  and value data structures in the registry hive.
       Currently it does not read the actual data stored in a  value,  and  due  to  the  nature  of  the  ntreg
       library's  interfaces the checks are currently limited to reporting that errors exist; the details of the
       error conditions encountered are not broken down in the final output.
