WinReg.jl

Julia interface to the Windows registry.

Usage

At the moment, this just exports one function, querykey, which queries the Windows registry.

querykey(base, path, valuename)

where

• base is one of the base paths:

• WinReg.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

• WinReg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER

• WinReg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

• WinReg.HKEY_USERS

• WinReg.HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA

• WinReg.HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

• WinReg.HKEY_DYN_DATA

• path is the the path from base to the desired key

• valuename is the name of the value to retrieve

Example

using WinReg

querykey(WinReg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment","PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE")

Usage within a package

WinReg.jl should only be loaded on Windows OSes (though it is safe to install on other OSes). Suggested usage:

@static if VERSION < v"0.7.0-DEV.914" ? is_windows() : Sys.iswindows()
    using WinReg # or import WinReg

    # code calling WinReg functionality goes here
end
