Introduction

winreg is a Lua binary module to Access Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Registry. The registry is a system-defined database that applications and Microsoft(R) Windows(R) system components use to store and retrieve configuration data. Load the module via the require function (make sure Lua can find the module), for example:

local winreg = require"winreg"

-- prints all the special folders
hkey = winreg.openkey[[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]]

skey = hkey:openkey([[Explorer\Shell Folders]])
for name in skey:enumvalue() do
  print("\nname: " .. name
     .. "\npath: " .. skey:getvalue(name))
end

lua-winreg's Issues

How to build lua-winreg?

It is unclear how to build this module on Windows.

Can someone please clarify?

Read 64 bit registry key from 32 bit interperetator.

Hi!
Fix should be:

REGSAM reg_aux_getaccess(lua_State *L, int i){
	REGSAM acc = 0;
	if(lua_isnumber(L, i) || lua_isnoneornil(L, i)){
		acc = lua_optint(L, i, KEY_ALL_ACCESS);
	}else{
		const char * psz = lua_checkstring(L, i);
		for(;*psz;psz++){
			switch(*psz){
			case 'w': acc |= KEY_WRITE; break;
			case 'r': acc |= KEY_READ ; break;
			case 'a': acc |= KEY_ALL_ACCESS ; break;
			default : lua_error_invalid_option(L, i);
			}
		}
	}
	return acc **| KEY_WOW64_64KEY**;
}
