winreg

Rust bindings to MS Windows Registry API. Work in progress.

Current features:

• Basic registry operations:
  • open/create/delete keys
  • read and write values
  • seamless conversion between REG_* types and rust primitives
    • String and OsString <= REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ or REG_MULTI_SZ
    • String, &str and OsStr => REG_SZ
    • u32 <=> REG_DWORD
    • u64 <=> REG_QWORD
• Iteration through key names and through values
• Transactions
• Transacted serialization of rust types into/from registry (only primitives and structures for now)

Usage

Basic usage

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
winreg = "0.5"

extern crate winreg;
use std::path::Path;
use std::io;
use winreg::RegKey;
use winreg::enums::*;

fn main() {
    println!("Reading some system info...");
    let hklm = RegKey::predef(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
    let cur_ver = hklm.open_subkey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion").unwrap();
    let pf: String = cur_ver.get_value("ProgramFilesDir").unwrap();
    let dp: String = cur_ver.get_value("DevicePath").unwrap();
    println!("ProgramFiles = {}\nDevicePath = {}", pf, dp);
    let info = cur_ver.query_info().unwrap();
    println!("info = {:?}", info);

    println!("And now lets write something...");
    let hkcu = RegKey::predef(HKEY_CURRENT_USER);
    let path = Path::new("Software").join("WinregRsExample1");
    let key = hkcu.create_subkey(&path).unwrap();

    key.set_value("TestSZ", &"written by Rust").unwrap();
    let sz_val: String = key.get_value("TestSZ").unwrap();
    key.delete_value("TestSZ").unwrap();
    println!("TestSZ = {}", sz_val);

    key.set_value("TestDWORD", &1234567890u32).unwrap();
    let dword_val: u32 = key.get_value("TestDWORD").unwrap();
    println!("TestDWORD = {}", dword_val);

    key.set_value("TestQWORD", &1234567891011121314u64).unwrap();
    let qword_val: u64 = key.get_value("TestQWORD").unwrap();
    println!("TestQWORD = {}", qword_val);

    key.create_subkey("sub\\key").unwrap();
    hkcu.delete_subkey_all(&path).unwrap();

    println!("Trying to open nonexistent key...");
    let key2 = hkcu.open_subkey(&path)
    .unwrap_or_else(|e| match e.kind() {
        io::ErrorKind::NotFound => panic!("Key doesn't exist"),
        io::ErrorKind::PermissionDenied => panic!("Access denied"),
        _ => panic!("{:?}", e)
    });
}

Iterators

extern crate winreg;
use winreg::RegKey;
use winreg::enums::*;

fn main() {
    println!("File extensions, registered in system:");
    for i in RegKey::predef(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT)
        .enum_keys().map(|x| x.unwrap())
        .filter(|x| x.starts_with("."))
    {
        println!("{}", i);
    }

    let system = RegKey::predef(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
        .open_subkey("HARDWARE\\DESCRIPTION\\System")
        .unwrap();
    for (name, value) in system.enum_values().map(|x| x.unwrap()) {
        println!("{} = {:?}", name, value);
    }
}

Transactions

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
winreg = { version = "0.5", features = ["transactions"] }

extern crate winreg;
use std::io;
use winreg::RegKey;
use winreg::enums::*;
use winreg::transaction::Transaction;

fn main() {
    let t = Transaction::new().unwrap();
    let hkcu = RegKey::predef(HKEY_CURRENT_USER);
    let key = hkcu.create_subkey_transacted("Software\\RustTransaction", &t).unwrap();
    key.set_value("TestQWORD", &1234567891011121314u64).unwrap();
    key.set_value("TestDWORD", &1234567890u32).unwrap();

    println!("Commit transaction? [y/N]:");
    let mut input = String::new();
    io::stdin().read_line(&mut input).unwrap();
    input = input.trim_right().to_owned();
    if input == "y" || input == "Y" {
        t.commit().unwrap();
        println!("Transaction committed.");
    }
    else {
        // this is optional, if transaction wasn't committed,
        // it will be rolled back on disposal
        t.rollback().unwrap();

        println!("Transaction wasn't committed, it will be rolled back.");
    }
}

Serialization
