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

NAME

       wsreg_can_access_registry - determine access to product install registry

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wsreg_can_access_registry(int access_flag);

DESCRIPTION

       The wsreg_can_access_registry() function is used to determine what access, if any, an application has to the product install registry.

       The access_flag argument can be one of the following:

       O_RDONLY        Inquire about read only access to the registry.

       O_RDWR          Inquire about modify (read and write) access to the registry.

RETURN VALUES

       The  wsreg_can_access_registry()  function  returns non-zero if the specified access level is permitted.  A return value of 0 indicates the
       specified access level is not permitted.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Initialize the registry and determine if access to the registry is permitted.

       #include <fcntl.h>
       #include <wsreg.h>

       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
           int result;
           if (wsreg_initialize(WSREG_INIT_NORMAL, NULL)) {
               printf("conversion recommended, sufficient access denied
");
           }

           if (wsreg_can_access_registry(O_RDONLY)) {
               printf("registry read access granted
");
           } else {
               printf("registry read access denied
");
           }

           if (wsreg_can_access_registry(O_RDWR)) {
               printf("registry read/write access granted
");
           } else {
               printf("registry read/write access denied
");
           }
       }

USAGE

       The wsreg_initialize(3WSREG) function must be called before calls to wsreg_can_access_registry() can be made.
