Detailed Description

Represents a single registry hive (file)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

pyregfi.Hive.__init__	(		self,
			fh
	)

Constructor.

Initialize a new Hive based on a Python file object. To open a file by path, see openHive.

Parameters

fh	A Python file object. The constructor first looks for a valid fileno attribute on this object and uses it if possible. Otherwise, the seek and read methods are used for file access.

Note

Supplied file must be seekable. Do not perform any operation on the provided file object while a Hive is using it. Do not construct multiple Hive instances from the same file object. If a file must be accessed by separate code and pyregfi simultaneously, use a separate file descriptor. Hives are thread-safe, so multiple threads may use a single Hive object.
