Bug#573070: ITP: hivex -- Windows Registry "hive" extraction library



* Package name    : hivex
  Version         : 1.2.1
  Upstream Author : R. Jones
* URL             : http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary

  Description     : Windows Registry "hive" extraction library

libhivex is a library for extracting the contents of Windows Registry
"hive" files. It is designed to be secure against buggy or malicious
registry files.

Unlike many other tools in this area, it doesn't use the textual .REG
format for output, because parsing that is as much trouble as parsing
the original binary format. Instead it makes the file available through
a C API, or there is a separate program to export the hive as XML (see
hivexml(1)), or to get individual keys (see hivexget(1)).
