# alpm.rs - rust bindings for libalpm | ||
|
||
[![Latest version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/alpm.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/alpm) | ||
[![Documentation](https://docs.rs/alpm/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/alpm) | ||
|
||
alpm.rs provides complete, safe, ergonomic bindings to the libalpm API, | ||
the package management library used by pacman and other tools. | ||
|
||
# Features | ||
|
||
- mtree - enables the alpm_pkg_mtree_* functions | ||
- generate - generate the raw alpm-sys bindings at build time | ||
- checkver - check that the version of libalpm installed is compatible with alpm.rs | ||
- git - target the git master API | ||
- static - statically link to libalpm | ||
|
||
|
||
**Note:** checkver does not work with the git feature. You can instead use | ||
the generate feature to ensure alpm.rs builds against a compatible libalpm version. | ||
|
||
# libalpm compatibility | ||
|
||
alpm.rs always targets the latest version of libalpm. It may also support | ||
previous versions if the API was not changed. | ||
|
||
alpm.rs also supports the pacman git master via the git feature. | ||
|
||
Currently alpm.rs supports libalpm v13.x.x. | ||
|
||
**Note:** When using the git feature, alpm.rs is updated against the libalpm git master | ||
as commits happen. As the git version is not considered stable software, this is done | ||
without bumping the major version. | ||
|
||
# Documentation | ||
|
||
This crate just provides bindings for libalpm and hence does not document libalpm. | ||
You can find documentation for libalpm in the [libalpm (3)](https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/pacman/libalpm.3.en) man page or in [alpm.h](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/blob/master/lib/libalpm/alpm.h). | ||
|
||
There are also examples on how to use the alpm crate in [alpm/examples](alpm/examples). | ||
|
||
# alpm-sys | ||
|
||
This repo also contains the alpm-sys crate, providing raw bindings for libalpm. | ||
Although you probably just want to use the alpm crate instead. |
