## NAME

list-registry - Display the registry in a buffer

## SYNOPSIS

n list-registry ["path"] ["buffer"]

## DESCRIPTION

list-registry lists the contents of the registry in the a buffer in a hierarchical format. The key name and any associated string is optionally shown as a hierarchical tree, the resultant information that is displayed is controlled by the numeric argument n and mode of the registry node.

The registry listing is generated in the buffer "`*registry*`" by default, the buffer may be modified with the buffer argument.

The numerical argument n is interpreted as a bit-mask as follows:-

1

If bit `0x1` is clear then the listing buffer is specified by the argument buffer. The default (when set) used buffer `*registry*`.

2

If bit `0x2` is set the path of the root of the registry is defined by argument path. The default when clear is to list the whole registry.

The visibility of the node is controlled by the attributes assigned by mark-registry(2). The node value may be hidden (modes `!`, `i` and `h`) and are not displayed in the resultant listing.

## HISTORY

The numeric argument to list-registry with associated parameters and extended hidden modes were added in January 2005.
