## Function Documentation

int rpmdbAppendIterator | ( | rpmdbMatchIterator | mi,
|  | const int * | hdrNums,
|  | int | nHdrNums
| ) |  |

Append items to set of package instances to iterate.

Parameters:

  mi | rpm database iterator
  hdrNums | array of package instances
  nHdrNums | number of elements in array

Returns:
  0 on success, 1 on failure (bad args)

int rpmdbCheckSignals | ( | void |  | ) |

Check for and exit on termination signals.

int rpmdbCheckTerminate | ( | int | terminate | ) |

Check rpmdb signal handler for trapped signal and/or requested exit, clean up any open iterators and databases on termination condition.

On non-zero exit any open references to rpmdb are invalid and cannot be accessed anymore, calling process should terminate immediately.

Parameters:

  terminate | 0 to only check for signals, 1 to terminate anyway

Returns:
  0 to continue, 1 if termination cleanup was done.

int rpmdbCountPackages | ( | rpmdb | db,
|  | const char * | name
| ) |  |

Parameters:

  db | rpm database
  name | rpm package name

Returns:
  number of instances

rpmdbMatchIterator rpmdbFreeIterator | ( | rpmdbMatchIterator | mi | ) |

Destroy rpm database iterator.

Parameters:

  mi | rpm database iterator

Returns:
  NULL always

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

Parameters:

rpmdbIndexIterator rpmdbIndexIteratorFree | ( | rpmdbIndexIterator | ii | ) |

Free index iterator.

Parameters:

rpmdbIndexIterator rpmdbIndexIteratorInit | ( | rpmdb | db,
|  | rpmDbiTag | rpmtag
| ) |  |

Get an iterator for an index.

Parameters:
