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.
