The package implements the +\fBregistry\fR Tcl command. This command is only supported on the +Windows platform. Warning: this command should be used with caution +as a corrupted registry can leave your system in an unusable state. +.PP +\fIKeyName\fR is the name of a registry key. Registry keys must be +one of the following forms: +.RS +.PP +\fB\e\e\fIhostname\fB\e\fIrootname\fB\e\fIkeypath\fR +.PP +\fIrootname\fB\e\fIkeypath\fR +.PP +\fIrootname\fR +.RE +.PP +\fIHostname\fR specifies the name of any valid Windows +host that exports its registry. The \fIrootname\fR component must be +one of \fBHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\fR, \fBHKEY_USERS\fR, +\fBHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\fR, \fBHKEY_CURRENT_USER\fR, +\fBHKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\fR, \fBHKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA\fR, or +\fBHKEY_DYN_DATA\fR. The \fIkeypath\fR can be one or more +registry key names separated by backslash (\fB\e\fR) characters. +.PP +\fIOption\fR indicates what to do with the registry key name. Any +unique abbreviation for \fIoption\fR is acceptable. The valid options +are: +.TP +\fBregistry broadcast \fIkeyName\fR ?\fB\-timeout \fImilliseconds\fR? +. +Sends a broadcast message to the system and running programs to notify them +of certain updates. This is necessary to propagate changes to key registry +keys like Environment. The timeout specifies the amount of time, in +milliseconds, to wait for applications to respond to the broadcast message. +It defaults to 3000. The following example demonstrates how to add a path +to the global Environment and notify applications of the change without +requiring a logoff/logon step (assumes admin privileges): +.RS +.PP +.CS +set regPath [join { + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE + SYSTEM + CurrentControlSet + Control + {Session Manager} + Environment +} "\e\e"] +set curPath [\fBregistry get\fR $regPath "Path"] +\fBregistry set\fR $regPath "Path" "$curPath;$addPath" +\fBregistry broadcast\fR "Environment" +.CE +.RE +.TP +\fBregistry delete \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIvalueName\fR? +. +If the optional \fIvalueName\fR argument is present, the specified +value under \fIkeyName\fR will be deleted from the registry. If the +optional \fIvalueName\fR is omitted, the specified key and any subkeys +or values beneath it in the registry hierarchy will be deleted. If +the key could not be deleted then an error is generated. If the key +did not exist, the command has no effect. +.TP +\fBregistry get \fIkeyName valueName\fR +. +Returns the data associated with the value \fIvalueName\fR under the key +\fIkeyName\fR. If either the key or the value does not exist, then an +error is generated. For more details on the format of the returned +data, see \fBSUPPORTED TYPES\fR, below. +.TP +\fBregistry keys \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIpattern\fR? +. +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, returns a list of names of all the +subkeys of \fIkeyName\fR. If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those +names matching \fIpattern\fR are returned. Matching is determined +using the same rules as for \fBstring\fR \fBmatch\fR. If the +specified \fIkeyName\fR does not exist, then an error is generated. +.TP +\fBregistry set \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIvalueName data \fR?\fItype\fR?? +. +If \fIvalueName\fR is not specified, creates the key \fIkeyName\fR if +it does not already exist. If \fIvalueName\fR is specified, creates +the key \fIkeyName\fR and value \fIvalueName\fR if necessary. The +contents of \fIvalueName\fR are set to \fIdata\fR with the type +indicated by \fItype\fR. If \fItype\fR is not specified, the type +\fBsz\fR is assumed. For more details on the data and type arguments, +see \fBSUPPORTED TYPES\fR below. +.TP +\fBregistry type \fIkeyName valueName\fR +. +Returns the type of the value \fIvalueName\fR in the key +\fIkeyName\fR. For more information on the possible types, see +\fBSUPPORTED TYPES\fR, below. +.TP +\fBregistry values \fIkeyName\fR ?\fIpattern\fR? +. +If \fIpattern\fR is not specified, returns a list of names of all the +values of \fIkeyName\fR. If \fIpattern\fR is specified, only those +names matching \fIpattern\fR are returned. Matching is determined +using the same rules as for \fBstring\fR \fBmatch\fR. +.SH "SUPPORTED TYPES" +Each value under a key in the registry contains some data of a +particular type in a type-specific representation. The \fBregistry\fR +command converts between this internal representation and one that can +be manipulated by Tcl scripts. In most cases, the data is simply +returned as a Tcl string. The type indicates the intended use for the +data, but does not actually change the representation. For some +types, the \fBregistry\fR command returns the data in a different form to +make it easier to manipulate. The following types are recognized by the +registry command: +.TP 17 +\fBbinary\fR +. +The registry value contains arbitrary binary data. The data is represented +exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls. +.TP +\fBnone\fR +. +The registry value contains arbitrary binary data with no defined +type. The data is represented exactly in Tcl, including any embedded +nulls. +.TP +\fBsz\fR +. +The registry value contains a null-terminated string. The data is +represented in Tcl as a string. +.TP +\fBexpand_sz\fR +. +The registry value contains a null-terminated string that contains +unexpanded references to environment variables in the normal Windows +style (for example, +.QW %PATH% ). +The data is represented in Tcl as a string. +.TP +\fBdword\fR +. +The registry value contains a little-endian 32-bit number. The data is +represented in Tcl as a decimal string. +.TP +\fBdword_big_endian\fR +. +The registry value contains a big-endian 32-bit number. The data is +represented in Tcl as a decimal string. +.TP +\fBlink\fR +. +The registry value contains a symbolic link. The data is represented +exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls. +.TP +\fBmulti_sz\fR +. +The registry value contains an array of null-terminated strings. The +data is represented in Tcl as a list of strings. +.TP +\fBresource_list\fR +. +The registry value contains a device-driver resource list. The data +is represented exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls. +.PP +In addition to the symbolically named types listed above, unknown +types are identified using a 32-bit integer that corresponds to the +type code returned by the system interfaces. In this case, the data +is represented exactly in Tcl, including any embedded nulls. +.SH "PORTABILITY ISSUES" +The registry command is only available on Windows. +.SH EXAMPLE +Print out how double-clicking on a Tcl script file will invoke a Tcl +interpreter: +.PP +.CS +package require registry +set ext .tcl + +# Read the type name +set type [\fBregistry get\fR HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\e\e$ext {}] +# Work out where to look for the command +set path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\e\e$type\e\eShell\e\eOpen\e\ecommand +# Read the command! +set command [\fBregistry get\fR $path {}] + +puts "$ext opens with $command" +.CE +.SH KEYWORDS +registry |
