Detailed Description

       Various libalpm functions

Typedef Documentation
   typedef int64_t alpm_time_t
       The time type used by libalpm. Represents a unix time stamp

Enumeration Type Documentation
   enum alpm_caps
       Enum of possible compile time features.

       Enumerator

       ALPM_CAPABILITY_NLS
              localization

       ALPM_CAPABILITY_DOWNLOADER
              Ability to download.

       ALPM_CAPABILITY_SIGNATURES
              Signature checking.

Function Documentation
   int alpm_capabilities (void)
       Get the capabilities of the library.

       Returns
           a bitmask of the capabilities

   char * alpm_compute_md5sum (const char * filename)
       Get the md5 sum of file.

       Parameters
           filename name of the file

       Returns
           the checksum on success, NULL on error

   char * alpm_compute_sha256sum (const char * filename)
       Get the sha256 sum of file.

       Parameters
           filename name of the file

       Returns
           the checksum on success, NULL on error

   alpm_pkg_t * alpm_sync_get_new_version (alpm_pkg_t * pkg, alpm_list_t *
       dbs_sync)
       Check for new version of pkg in syncdbs. If the same package appears
       multiple dbs only the first will be checked

       This only checks the syncdb for a newer version. It does not access the
       network at all. See alpm_db_update to update a database.

   int alpm_unlock (alpm_handle_t * handle)
       Remove the database lock file.

       Parameters
           handle the context handle

       Returns
           0 on success, -1 on error

       Note
           Safe to call from inside signal handlers.

   const char * alpm_version (void)
       Get the version of library.

       Returns
           the library version, e.g. '6.0.4'
