hivex_value_utf8
Description:
[ Version ( deprecated = true , since = "1.19.35" ) ]
public string hivex_value_utf8 (int64 valueh) throws Error
public string hivex_value_utf8 (int64 valueh) throws Error
Warning: hivex_value_utf8 is deprecated.
return the data field as a UTF-8 string
Note:
In new code, use hivex_value_string instead
This calls hivex_value_value (which returns the data field from a hivex value tuple). It then assumes that the field is a UTF-16LE string and converts the result to UTF-8 (or if this is not possible, it returns an error).
This is useful for reading strings out of the Windows registry. However it is not foolproof because the registry is not strongly-typed and fields can contain arbitrary or unexpected data.
This function depends on the feature "hivex". See also feature_available.
