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. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +F<%PKGDOCDIR%/README.api>, +L<https://www.dpkg.org/doc/libdpkg/>. |
