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

NAME

       wsreg_add_child_component, wsreg_remove_child_component, wsreg_get_child_components - add or remove a child component

SYNOPSIS

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

       int wsreg_add_child_component(Wsreg_component *comp, const Wsreg_component *childComp);

       int wsreg_remove_child_component(Wsreg_component *comp, const Wsreg_component *childComp);

       Wsreg_component **wsreg_get_child_components(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wsreg_add_child_component() function adds the component specified by childComp to the list of child components contained in the compo-
       nent specified by comp.

       The wsreg_remove_child_component() function removes the component specified by childComp from the list of child components contained in the
       component specified by comp.

       The wsreg_get_child_components() function returns the list of child components contained in the component specified by comp.

RETURN VALUES

       The  wsreg_add_child_component() function returns a non-zero value if the specified child component was successfully added; otherwise, 0 is
       returned.

       The wsreg_remove_child_component() function returns a non-zero value if the specified child component was successfully removed;	otherwise,
       0 is returned.

       The  wsreg_get_child_components() function returns a null-terminated array of Wsreg_component pointers that represents the specified compo-
       nent's list of child components.  If the specified component has no child components,  NULL  is	returned.  The	resulting  array  must	be
       released by the caller through a call to wsreg_free_component_array(). See wsreg_create_component(3WSREG).

USAGE

       The  parent-child  relationship between components in the product install registry is used to record a product's structure.  Product struc-
       ture is the arrangement of features and components that make up a product.  The structure of installed products can be displayed  with  the
       prodreg GUI.

       The  child  component must be installed and registered before the parent component can be.  The registration of a parent component that has
       child components results in each of the child components being updated to reflect their parent component.

       Read access to the product install registry is required in order to use these functions because these relationships are	held  with  light-
       weight component references that can only be fully resolved using the registry contents.

NAME

       wsreg_set_parent, wsreg_get_parent - set or get the parent of a component

SYNOPSIS

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

       void wsreg_set_parent(Wsreg_component *comp, const Wsreg_component *parent);

       Wsreg_component *wsreg_get_parent(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The wsreg_set_parent() function sets the parent specified by parent of the component specified by comp.

       The wsreg_get_parent() function gets the parent of the component specified by comp.

RETURN VALUES

       The wsreg_get_parent() function returns a pointer to a Wsreg_component structure that represents the parent of the specified component.	If
       the specified component does not have a parent, NULL is returned.  If a non-null value is  returned,  it  the  caller's	responsibility	to
       release	the  memory  associated  with the resulting Wsreg_component pointer with a call to wsreg_free_component(). See wsreg_create_compo-
       nent(3WSREG).

USAGE

       The parent of a component is set as a result of registering the parent component.  When a component that has children is registered, all of
       the child components are updated to reflect the newly registered component as their parent.  This update only occurs if the child component
       does not already have a parent component set.

       The specified parent component is reduced to a lightweight component reference that uniquely identifies the parent in the  product  install
       registry.  This lightweight reference includes the parent's uuid and instance number.

       The parent must be registered before a call to wsreg_set_parent() can be made, since the parent's instance number must be known at the time
       the wsreg_set_parent() function is called.

       A process needing to call wsreg_set_parent() or wsreg_get_parent() must have read access to the product install registry.
