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_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.
