wsreg_initialize(3WSREG)			    Product Install Registry Library Functions				  wsreg_initialize(3WSREG)

NAME

       wsreg_initialize - initialize wsreg library

SYNOPSIS

       cc  [flag ...]  file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
       #include <wsreg.h>

       int wsreg_initialize(Wsreg_init_level level, const char *alternate_root);

DESCRIPTION

       The wsreg_initialize() function initializes the wsreg library.

       The level argument can be one of the following:

       WSREG_INIT_NORMAL	       If an old registry file is present, attempt to perform a conversion.

       WSREG_INIT_NO_CONVERSION        If  an  old  conversion file is present, do not perform the conversion, but indicate that the conversion is
				       recommended.

       The alternate_root argument can be used to specify a root prefix.  If NULL is specified, no root prefix is used.

RETURN VALUES

       The wsreg_initialize() function can return one of the following:

       WSREG_SUCCESS		       The initialization was successful and no registry conversion is necessary.

       WSREG_CONVERSION_RECOMMENDED    An old registry file exists and should be converted.

       A conversion is attempted if the init_level argument is WSREG_INIT_NORMAL and a registry file  from  a  previous  version  of  the  product
       install registry exists.  If the wsreg_initialize() function returns WSREG_CONVERSION_RECOMMENDED, the user either does not have permission
       to update the product install registry or does not have read/write access to the previous registry file.

USAGE

       The wsreg_initialize() function must be called before any other wsreg library functions.

       The registry conversion can take some time to complete.	The registry conversion can also be performed using the graphical registry  viewer
       /usr/bin/prodreg or by the registry converter /usr/bin/regconvert.

wsreg_get(3WSREG)				    Product Install Registry Library Functions					 wsreg_get(3WSREG)

NAME

       wsreg_get, wsreg_get_all - query product install registry

SYNOPSIS

       cc  [flag ...]  file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
       #include <wsreg.h>

       Wsreg_component *wsreg_get(const Wsreg_query *query);

       Wsreg_component **wsreg_get_all(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The wsreg_get() function queries the product install registry for a component that matches the query specified by query.

       The wsreg_get_all() function returns all components currently registered in the product install registry.

RETURN VALUES

       The  wsreg_get() function returns a pointer to a Wsreg_component structure representing the registered component.  If no component matching
       the specified query is currently registered, wsreg_get() returns NULL.

       The wsreg_get_all() function returns a null-terminated array of Wsreg_component pointers.  Each element in the resulting  array	represents
       one registered component.

USAGE

       The wsreg library must be initialized by a call to wsreg_initialize(3WSREG) before any call to wsreg_get() or wsreg_get_all().

       The  Wsreg_component pointer returned from wsreg_get() should be released through a call to wsreg_free_component(). See wsreg_create_compo-
       nent(3WSREG).

       The Wsreg_component pointer array returned from wsreg_get_all() should be released through  a  call  to	wsreg_free_component_array().  See
       wsreg_create_component(3WSREG).
