regdiff - Diff program for Windows registry files

Author

       This utility is part of the Samba[1] suite, which is developed by the global SambaTeam[2].

       This manpage and regdiff were written by Jelmer Vernooij.

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.
