reg-query: Display all values of a key and its sub keys.
$ reg query ${key_name} /s
try on your machine

The command "reg query ${key_name} /s" is used to query the Windows registry for specified key(s) and display the information about them.

Here's a breakdown of the command components:

  • "reg query" is the main command used to query the registry.
  • "${key_name}" is a placeholder that represents the name of the key(s) you want to query. You should replace "${key_name}" with the actual name of the key(s) you want to query. For example, if you want to query the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software" key, you should replace "${key_name}" with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software".
  • "/s" is an optional switch that stands for "subkeys". When specified, it instructs the command to search for subkeys within the specified key(s) as well. If you don't need to search for subkeys, you can omit this switch.

Overall, the command "reg query ${key_name} /s" allows you to search and retrieve information from the Windows registry for the specified key(s) and potentially its subkeys.
