Using Registry Usage (RU)

usage: ru [-c[t]] [-l <levels> | -n | -v] [-q] <absolute path>

usage: ru [-c[t]] [-l <levels> | -n | -v] [-q] -h <hive file> [relative path]

Parameter Description
-c Print output as CSV. Specify -ct for tab delimiting.
-h Load the specified hive file, perform the size calculation, then unload it and compress it.
-l Specify subkey depth of information (default is one level).
-n Do not recurse.
-q Quiet (no banner).
