NAME

       wsreg_set_unique_name, wsreg_get_unique_name - set or get the unique name of a component

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wsreg_set_unique_name(Wsreg_component *comp, const char *unique_name);

       char *wsreg_get_unique_name(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wsreg_set_unique_name()  function  sets  the unique name specified by unique_name in the component specified by comp.  Every component
       must have a unique name before being registered.  If a unique name has already been set in the specified component, the	resources  associ-
       ated with the previously set unique name are released.

       The  wsreg_get_unique_name()  function  gets  the  unique  name	string from the component specified by comp.  The resulting string must be
       released by the caller.

RETURN VALUES

       The wsreg_set_unique_name() function returns a non-zero value if the unique name was set correctly; otherwise it returns 0.

       The wsreg_get_unique_name() function returns a copy of the unique name from the specified component.
