Per the packaging description from Mageia:

> rpmconstant provides basic functions to map internal RPM constant values
> with their name. This is useful for perl/python or other language which has
> binding over rpmlib.

Based on that description and what the code _looks_ like it does, it allows a relatively trivial automatic mapping of internal values to their names (such as for RPMTAGs and other header properties).

That said, the code for rpmconstant is not documented much, it's used as a component to support the perl-RPM4 binding module.
