Returns

number of elements

rpmdbGetIteratorOffset()

unsigned int rpmdbGetIteratorOffset

(

rpmdbMatchIterator

mi

)

Return header join key for current position of rpm database iterator.

Parameters

mi	rpm database iterator

Returns

current header join key

rpmdbIndexIteratorFree()

rpmdbIndexIterator rpmdbIndexIteratorFree

(

rpmdbIndexIterator

ii

)

Free index iterator

Parameters

ii	index iterator return NULL

rpmdbIndexIteratorInit()

rpmdbIndexIterator rpmdbIndexIteratorInit	(	rpmdb	db,
		rpmDbiTag	rpmtag
	)

Get an iterator for an index

Parameters

db	rpm database
rpmtag	the index to iterate over

Returns

the index iterator

rpmdbIndexIteratorNext()

int rpmdbIndexIteratorNext	(	rpmdbIndexIterator	ii,
		const void **	key,
		size_t *	keylen
	)

Get the next key - Warning! Keys are not zero terminated! Binary tags may even contain zero bytes

Parameters

ii	index iterator
key	address to save the pointer to the key
keylen	address to save the length of the key to

Returns

0 on success; != 0 on error or end of index

rpmdbIndexIteratorNextTd()

int rpmdbIndexIteratorNextTd	(	rpmdbIndexIterator	ii,
		rpmtd	keytd
	)

Get the next key into a tag data container. Caller is responsible for calling rpmtdFreeData() to freeing the data returned in keytd once done with it.

Parameters

ii	index iterator
keytd	tag container to store the key in

Returns

0 on success; != 0 on error or end of index

rpmdbIndexIteratorNumPkgs()

unsigned int rpmdbIndexIteratorNumPkgs

(

rpmdbIndexIterator

ii

)

Get number of entries for current key

Parameters

ii	index iterator

Returns

number of entries. 0 on error.

rpmdbIndexIteratorPkgOffset()

unsigned int rpmdbIndexIteratorPkgOffset	(	rpmdbIndexIterator	ii,
		unsigned int	nr
	)

Get package offset of entry

Parameters

ii	index iterator

		unsigned int	nr
	)

Get tag number of entry

Parameters

ii	index iterator
