[ rv, code ] = win32_ReadRegistry (key, subkey, value) ¶Read a value from the Windows registry.
Example:
key='SOFTWARE\\Cygnus Solutions\\Cygwin\\mounts v2';
win32_ReadRegistry('HKLM',key,'cygdrive prefix')
key must be one of the following strings:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
rv is an octave string of the returned bytes. This is a natural format for REG_SZ data; however, if the registry data was in another format, REG_DWORD then the calling program will need to process them
code is the success code. Values correspond to the codes in the winerror.h header file. The code of 0 is success, while other codes indicate failure In the case of failure, ’rv’ will be empty
