To find matches to the name, something like this:
dbmi = rpmdbInitIterator(dbh, RPMTAG_NAME, NULL, 0);
if (dbmi) {
rpmdbSetIteratorRE(dbmi, RPMTAG_NAME, RPMMIRE_DEFAULT, match_string);
}
if (! dbmi) {
printf("No matches found in local RPM DB.\n");
} else {
while ((hdr = rpmdbNextIterator(dbmi))) {
...
}
}
"dbh" is the rpmdb handle, and match_string is the regex/wildcard/etc.
The rest is fairly obvious.
