The Advanced Server Registry is a database organized in an
hierarchical structure. It is composed of subtrees and their keys,
and value entries. A key also can contain additional subkeys.
The following table identifies and defines the Advanced Server
Registry subtrees.
The Advanced Server Registry is stored in the /var/opt/lanman/datafiles
directory on the Advanced Server computer.
Value Entries in the Registry Keys |
 |
Each registry key can contain data items called value entries.
Keys are analogous to directories, and value entries are analogous
to files.
A value entry has three parts: the name of the value, the
data type of the value, and the value itself, which can be data
of any length. The three parts of value entries always appear in
the following order.
Data types, such as REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ, describe the
format of the data which can be up to 1 MB. Data types from 0 to
0x7fffffff are reserved for definition by the system, and applications
are encouraged to use these types. Data types from 0x80000000 to
0xffffffff are reserved for use by applications.
The following table lists and defines the data types currently
used by the system.
