Detailed Description

How to manipulate package headers (which carries all information about a package).

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ headerGetFlags_e

enum headerGetFlags_e

Modifier flags for headerGet() operation. For consistent behavior you'll probably want to use ALLOC to ensure the caller owns the data, but MINMEM is useful for avoiding extra copy of data when you are sure the header wont go away. Most of the time you'll probably want EXT too, but note that extensions tags don't generally honor the other flags, MINMEM, RAW, ALLOC and ARGV are only relevant for non-extension data.

◆ hMagic

enum hMagic

Include calculation for 8 bytes of (magic, 0)?

◆ rpmTagReturnType_e

enum rpmTagReturnType_e

Identify how to return the header data type.

◆ rpmTagType_e

enum rpmTagType_e

The basic types of data in tags from headers.

Function Documentation

◆ headerAddI18NString()

int headerAddI18NString	(	Header	h,
		rpmTagVal	tag,
		const char *	string,
		const char *	lang )

Add locale specific tag to header. A NULL lang is interpreted as the C locale. Here are the rules:

*   - If the tag isn't in the header, it's added with the passed string
*      as new value.
*   - If the tag occurs multiple times in entry, which tag is affected
*      by the operation is undefined.
*   - If the tag is in the header w/ this language, the entry is
*      *replaced* (like headerMod()).
*

This function is intended to just "do the right thing". If you need more fine grained control use headerPut() and headerMod().

Parameters

h	header
tag	tag
string	tag value
lang	locale

Returns: 1 on success, 0 on failure

◆ headerCheck()

rpmRC headerCheck	(	rpmts	ts,
		const void *	uh,
		size_t	uc,

Sanity checks on the header are performed while looking for a header-only digest or signature to verify the blob. If found, the digest or signature is verified.

Parameters

	ts	transaction set
	uh	unloaded header blob
	uc	no. of bytes in blob (or 0 to disable)
[out]	*msg	verification error message (or NULL)

Returns: RPMRC_OK on success

◆ headerConvert()

Returns: string pointer (malloced) or NULL on failure

◆ headerGetInstance()

unsigned int headerGetInstance ( Header h )

Return header instance, ie is the header from rpmdb.

Parameters

◆ headerGetNumber()

uint64_t headerGetNumber	(	Header	h,
		rpmTagVal	tag )

Return a simple number tag (or extension) from header

Type-safe methods for inserting tag data to header. Tag data type is validated to match the function type, ie things like headerPutUint32(h, RPMTAG_NAME, ...) will return failure. For non-array types size must equal 1, and data is checked to be non-NULL. For array types, add-or-append mode is always used.

headerPutString() can be used on both RPM_STRING_TYPE and RPM_STRING_ARRAY_TYPE (to add a single string into the array) tags, for others the type must match exactly.

These are intended to "do the right thing" in the common case, if you need more fine grained control use headerPut() & friends instead.

Todo: Make doxygen group these meaningfully.
