public string hivex_value_string (int64 valueh) throws Error
return the data field as a UTF-8 string
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 .
