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

NAME

       wsreg_register - register a component in the product install registry

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wsreg_register(Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The wsreg_register() function updates a component in the product install registry.

       If  comp  is  already  in  the  product	install registry, the call to wsreg_register() results in the currently registered component being
       updated.  Otherwise, comp is added to the product install registry.

       An instance is assigned to the component upon registration.  Subsequent component updates retain the same component instance.

       If comp has required components, each required component is updated to reflect the required component relationship.

       If comp has child components, each child component that does not already have a parent is updated to reflect  specified	component  as  its
       parent.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion,  a  non-zero  value  is returned. If the component could not be updated in the product install registry, 0 is
       returned.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Create and register a component.

       The following example creates and registers a component.

       #include <wsreg.h>

       int main (int argc, char **argv)
       {
	   char *uuid = "d6cf2869-1dd1-11b2-9fcb-080020b69971";
		Wsreg_component *comp = NULL;

		/* Initialize the registry */
		wsreg_initialize(WSREG_INIT_NORMAL, NULL);

		/* Create the component */
		comp = wsreg_create_component(uuid);
		wsreg_set_unique_name(comp, "wsreg_example_1");
		wsreg_set_version(comp, "1.0");
		wsreg_add_display_name(comp, "en", "Example 1 component");
		wsreg_set_type(comp, WSREG_COMPONENT);
		wsreg_set_location(comp, "/usr/local/example1_component");

		/* Register the component */
		wsreg_register(comp);
		wsreg_free_component(comp);
		return 0;
       }

USAGE

       A product's structure can be recorded in the product install registry by registering a component for each  element  and	container  in  the
       product definition.  The product and each of its features would be registered in the same way as a package that represents installed files.

       Components  should  be registered only after they are successfully installed.  If an entire product is being registered, the product should
       be registered after all components and features are installed and registered.

       In order to register correctly, the component must be given a uuid, unique name, version, display name, and a location.	The location  ass-
       gined to product structure components should generally be the location in which the user chose to install the product.
