Windows registry database: Nim parsing library

This spec allows to parse files used by Microsoft Windows family of operating systems to store parts of its "registry". "Registry" is a hierarchical database that is used to store system settings (global configuration, per-user, per-application configuration, etc).

Typically, registry files are stored in:

  • System-wide: several files in %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\
  • User-wide:
    • %USERPROFILE%\Ntuser.dat
    • %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\Usrclass.dat (localized, Windows 2000, Server 2003 and Windows XP)
    • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Usrclass.dat (non-localized, Windows Vista and later)

Note that one typically can't access files directly on a mounted filesystem with a running Windows OS.

This spec allows to parse files used by Microsoft Windows family of

hierarchical database that is used to store system settings (global
configuration, per-user, per-application configuration, etc).

Typically, registry files are stored in:

* System-wide: several files in `%SystemRoot%\System32\Config\`
* User-wide:
  * `%USERPROFILE%\Ntuser.dat`
  * `%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\Usrclass.dat` (localized, Windows 2000, Server 2003 and Windows XP)
  * `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Usrclass.dat` (non-localized, Windows Vista and later)

Note that one typically can't access files directly on a mounted
filesystem with a running Windows OS.
