[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Is there any proper documentation with examples for librpm 6.x? (Discussion #4168)

[3millionminds]

Hello,

I'm trying to use librpm mixed into a Go program to get a list of all the packages installed on the system.

The documentation at https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/api/index.html
only provides minimal explanations as to what the functions do,
but no explanation as to what how to use them - as in, there is no explanation that I have found that tell you to connect to the DB, instantiate a cursor, etc.

I ran across this documentation but it's from the year 2000 and very much out of date:
http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/index.html

Is there any documentation with examples, or at least an outline of the process of actually querying the rpmDB with this library, anywhere?

I just need to dump all the installed RPMs with their names and versions.

Cheers.
