Greetings All: First-time poster, please be gentle. :)
I was curious as to where I might be able to find out what non-command-line interfaces into .deb packages are available. For instance, is there a C interface that could pull out information such as Name, Version, Release, etc... ? I posted the above question on the debian-policy mailing list, and I got back that .deb is simply an AR file & that writing my own routines shouldn't be too hard. While I agree, I figure this is probably already done/documented somewhere else (say the dpkg project). Where is the right place to start asking questions? For instance, the parse.c file in dpkg-1.10.28/lib looks promising, but where can I get more information about this?
