Yah. I've been quite on this one. I'd like to point out that Cygwin has
had a patch for /dev/registry some time ago. I support a good
implementation of this, and like the .dword etc suffix idea. I also

I don't know about "favorite", but the only one that's even close to
standardized across Unices is /proc/. And even that is nonstandard

catch-all interface that is ioctl(). It is true that this would make
inadvertent registry corruption less likely, but it only by virtue of
making so much less accessible.

Why can't this /dev/registry stuff be just an ioctl()? Open the
/dev/registry node for the appropriate access, then use some ioctl()'s to
read and write it. Put the /dev/null entry points for the read and write

Okay folks, enough with the "me toos". Suffice it to say that everybody
thinks this is a wonderful idea. Not surprisingly, the suggestion of a
/dev/registry or /proc/registry HAS been made before. And everyb

How about adding a /dev/registry fhandler to Cygwin? Registry keys would be
directories and values in the registry files. I'm willing to try coding this
if people think it's a good idea. It allows shell scripts to easily access
registry keys as well as programs.
