I've been trying to develop something to tie into the C API for rpm
(8), and I'm trying to search for a package in the rpm db, I've
come across this document: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-rpmlib-
functions.html
Which has rpmdbFindPackage() listed, which is the perfect function
call, yet on my redhat enterprise ES 4 box's librpm doesn't define
that function call at all, in fact, it seems that NONE of the
documentation is....current.
Anybody have any tips, or better/alternative means of querying for
a certain package in the rpm db? Links to documentation concurrent
with the latest major redhat enterprise release? More cowbell even? :)
There's doxygen doco for rpm's C API on your RHEL4 system:
file:///usr/share/doc/rpm-devel-X.Y.Z/apidocs/*
There's the "RedHat RPM Guilde" someplace @redhat.com.
Hint: You want something like (this snippet retrieves the package
that provides "bash"):
rpmts ts = rpmtsCreate();
rpmdbMatchIterator mi = rpmtsInitIterator(ts,
RPMTAG_PROVIDENAME, "bash", 0);
Header h;
while((h = rpmdbNextIterator(mi)) != NULL) {
... do whatever with the bash header ...
}
mi = rpmdbFreeIterator(mi);
ts = rpmtsFree(ts);
