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

NAME

       wsreg_set_version, wsreg_get_version - set or get the version of a component

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wsreg_set_version(Wsreg_component *comp,  const char *version);

       char *wsreg_get_version(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wsreg_set_version()  function  sets  the  version  specified by version in the component specified by comp.  The version argument is a
       string that represents the version of the component.  Every component must have a version  before  being  registered.   If  a  version  has
       already been set in the specified component, the resources associated with the previously set version are released.

       The  wsreg_get_version()  function  gets the version string from the component specified by comp.  The resulting string must be released by
       the caller.

RETURN VALUES

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

       The wsreg_get_version() function returns a copy of the version from the specified component.

NAME

       wsreg_add_compatible_version, wsreg_remove_compatible_version, wsreg_get_compatible_versions - add or remove a backward-compatible version

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wsreg_add_compatible_version(Wsreg_component *comp, const char *version);

       int wsreg_remove_compatible_version(Wsreg_component *comp, const char *version);

       char **wsreg_get_compatible_versions(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wsreg_add_compatible_version()  function adds the version string specified by version to the list of backward-compatible versions con-
       tained in the component specified by comp.

       The wsreg_remove_compatible_version() function removes the version string specified by version from the list  of  backward-compatible  ver-
       sions contained in the component specified by comp.

       The wsreg_get_compatible_versions() function returns the list of backward-compatible versions contained in the component specified by comp.

RETURN VALUES

       The  wsreg_add_compatible_version()  function returns a non-zero value if the specified backward-compatible version was successfully added;
       otherwise, 0 is returned.

       The wsreg_remove_compatible_version() function returns a non-zero value if  the	specified  backward-compatible	version  was  successfully
       removed; otherwise, 0 is returned.

       The  wsreg_get_compatible_versions()  function  returns	a null-terminated array of char pointers that represents the specified component's
       list of backward-compatible versions.  If the specified component has no such versions, NULL is returned.  The resulting array and its con-
       tents must be released by the caller.

USAGE

       The  list  of  backward	compatible versions is used to allow components that are used by multiple products to upgrade successfully without
       compromising any of its dependent products.  The installer that installs such an update can check the list of backward-compatible  versions
       and look at what versions are required by all of the dependent components to ensure that the upgrade will not result in a broken product.
