NAME

regdiff - Diff program for Windows registry files

SYNOPSIS

regdiff [--help] [--backend=BACKEND] [--credentials=CREDENTIALS] [location]

DESCRIPTION

regdiff compares two Windows registry files key by key and value by value and generates a text file that contains the differences between the two files.

A file generated by regdiff can later be applied to a registry file by the regpatch utility.

regdiff and regpatch use the same file format as the regedit32.exe utility from Windows.

OPTIONS

This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second.

--credentials=CREDENTIALS

: Credentials to use, if any. Password should be separated from user name by a percent sign.
This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second.
