Creates the basic OpenVMS Registry database files in the location
    specified by the SYS$REGISTRY logical. The command creates an
    empty database and loads the predefined keys.

    If you enter this command and the database files already exist,
    the utility does not overwrite the existing files. The system
    displays a warning that the files already exist. If you want to
    create a new OpenVMS Registry database, you must first delete
    all previous versions of the database files. If you delete the
    OpenVMS Registry database files, you will lose all keys, subkeys,
    and values stored in the OpenVMS Registry.

    This command requires the SYSPRV privilege.

    The following table lists and describes the OpenVMS Registry
    database files.
