+This is the registry library. The registry is basically a bunch of
+hives that can be loaded from different places.
+
+The various registry backends provide support for loading/saving
+specific types of hives:
+
+ - ldb 
+ - w95 (USER.DAT-style files)
+ - nt4 (NTUSER.DAT-style files)
+ - gconf (GNOME configuration)
+ - rpc (Remote individual hives)
+
+Instead of opening individual hives, one can also open a 'complete'
+registry by using one of these three functions:
+ 
+ - reg_open_local() - load local registry, see below
+ - reg_open_remote() - connect to remote registry over RPC
+ - reg_open_wine() (not working yet)
+
+reg_open_local() loads a set of hives based on smb.conf settings.
+Lines in smb.conf should have the following syntax:
+
+registry:<hivename> = <backend>:<location>
+
+So an example usage could be:
+
+registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER = nt4:NTUSER.DAT
+registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = ldb:tdb://registry.tdb
+
+WERR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned for all hives that haven't been set.
+
+On Windows the various registry hives are loaded from:
+
+HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
+HKEY_CURRENT_USER: %Profile%\NTUser.dat
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Sam
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Security
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Software
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System
+HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT: %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\Default
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE: is autogenerated
