The wsreg_set_id() function sets the uuid (universal unique identifier) specified by uuid into the component specified by comp. If a uuid has already been set into the specified component, the resources associated with the previously set uuid are released.

The wsreg_get_id() function returns a copy of the uuid of the component specified by comp. The resulting string must be released by the caller.

The wsreg_set_id() function returns non-zero if the uuid was set correctly; otherwise 0 is returned.

The wsreg_get_id() function returns a copy of the specified component's uuid.

Generally, the uuid will be set into a component by the wsreg_create_component(3WSREG) function, so a call to the wsreg_set_id() is not necessary.
