Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def pyregfi.Hive.__init__	(		self,
			fh
	)

Constructor.

Initialize a new Hive based on a Python file object. To open a file by path, see openHive.

Parameters:

fh	A Python file object. The constructor first looks for a valid fileno attribute on this object and uses it if possible. Otherwise, the seek and read methods are used for file access.

Note:

Supplied file must be seekable. Do not perform any operation on the provided file object while a Hive is using it. Do not construct multiple Hive instances from the same file object. If a file must be accessed by separate code and pyregfi simultaneously, use a separate file descriptor. Hives are thread-safe, so multiple threads may use a single Hive object.

			path
	)

Parameters:

path	A list of Key names which represent an absolute path within the Hive
