libpkgconf pkg module

The pkg module provides dependency resolution services and the overall .pc file parsing routines.

pkgconf_pkg_t *pkgconf_pkg_new_from_file(const pkgconf_client_t *client, const char *filename, FILE *f, unsigned int flags)

Parse a .pc file into a pkgconf_pkg_t object structure.

Returns:

A pkgconf_pkg_t object which contains the package data.

Return type:

int pkgconf_compare_version(const char *a, const char *b)

Compare versions using RPM version comparison rules as described in the LSB.

Parameters:

Return type:

int

pkgconf_pkg_t *pkgconf_builtin_pkg_get(const char *name)

Looks up a built-in package. The package should not be freed or dereferenced.

Parameters:

Returns:

the built-in package if present, else NULL.

Return type:

pkgconf_pkg_t *

Returns:

A string matching the comparator or "???".

Return type:

char *

pkgconf_pkg_comparator_t pkgconf_pkg_comparator_lookup_by_name(const char *name)

The comparator bytecode if found, else PKGCONF_CMP_ANY.

pkgconf_pkg_t *pkgconf_pkg_verify_dependency(pkgconf_client_t *client, pkgconf_dependency_t *pkgdep, unsigned int *eflags)

pkgconf_pkg_t *

unsigned int pkgconf_pkg_verify_graph(pkgconf_client_t *client, pkgconf_pkg_t *root, int depth)
