=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
libdpkg - Debian package manager C library
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<libdpkg> C library provides functions and infrastructure for the dpkg
|
|
tool set, and external projects that need to integrate tightly with it.
|
|
|
|
The library provides a L<pkgconf(1)> entry named I<libdpkg>.
|
|
|
|
B<Warning>: The API provided by this library is highly volatile, still in
|
|
the process of being cleaned up. It is only supposed to be used internally
|
|
by dpkg for now. Header files, functions, variables and types might get
|
|
renamed, removed or change semantics. If you still have a need to use it,
|
|
which you would be doing anyway, say by locally building dpkg to get the
|
|
library, then define the C preprocessor macro LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API in your
|
|
build to acknowledge that fact.
|
|
|
|
Due to the currently API volatility, only a static library is provided.
