[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] How to detect RPM version without running rpm --version? (Discussion #2213)

[Shane Bishop]

How can the RPM version be detected programmatically (in a language like Go or C) using either a file or a system call, without running a subprocess `rpm --version`?

For context, I am writing an application that needs to be highly performant, and I want to avoid running child process if at all possible.
