What's this?

[](name, *rtype) public

Read a registry value named name and return its value data. The class of value is same as #read method returns.

If the value type is REG_EXPAND_SZ, returns value data whose environment variables are replaced. If the value type is neither REG_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ, REG_DWORD, REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN, nor REG_QWORD, TypeError is raised.

The meaning of rtype is same as #read method.
