RTI_BOOL RT_Registry_register	(	RT_Registry_T *	registry,

		struct RT_ComponentFactoryListener *	listener
	)

<<cert>> Register a factory of RT components

In order to make a component available, it is necessary to register a factory for the components. The factory is responsible for creating and deleting components. The name of the factory must be unique. Otherwise, if a factory already exists with the the same name, the registration will fail.

Parameters:

registry	<<in>> Registry with which to register the component factory
name	<<in>> Name of the component factory
intf	<<in>> Pointer to the implementation of the factory interface
property	<<in>> Properties with which to create the factory
listener	<<in>> The listener to install with the factory

Returns:

RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure

RTI_BOOL RT_Registry_unregister	(	RT_Registry_T *	registry,
		const char *	name,
		struct RT_ComponentFactoryProperty **	property,
		struct RT_ComponentFactoryListener **	listener
	)

<<cert>> Remove a component factory from the registry

After a component factory is unregistered, it will no longer be possible to create or delete components with the factory.

Parameters:

registry	<<in>> Registry from which to unregister the component factory
name	<<in>> Name of the component factory
property	<<in>> Properties with which the factory was created
listener	<<in>> The listener installed with the factory

Returns:

RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure

RTI_BOOL RT_ComponentFactoryId_set_name	(	RT_ComponentFactoryId_T *	id,
		const char *const	name
	)

Assign a name to a RT_ComponentFactoryId_T variable.

Use this function to assign a name to a RT_ComponentFactoryId_T variable, such as the name of the discovery plugin to use.

Parameters:

id	<<in>> Id to initialize
name	<<in>> Name to initialize with

Returns:

RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure
