NAME
RPM::Constants - Groups of RPM-defined symbols
SYNOPSIS
use RPM::Constants qw(:rpmerr :rpmtype);
DESCRIPTION
This package is a collection of the constants defined by rpm itself that may be of use to those developing with the RPM Perl bindings.
GROUPS
For ease of use and uderstanding (at last count, the total number of constants was 232), the constants are broken up into several smaller groups:
Header Tag Identifiers
The following symbols may be imported via the tag :rpmtag, and represent the various elements that may be present in a package header. When used to retrieve data from a header as a hash key, the RPMTAG_
portion should be omitted from the name. Use the full name only when referring to the constant. Note that each name is followed by either a $
or a @
. This signifies the return type of the data; a scalar or an array reference. In all cases, a failed operation is noted by a return value of undef
.
The majority of the tags that return list references in fact refer to the ordered list of files present in the BASENAMES
tag. In these cases (such as MD5SUMS
), the value of the array at a given point may be null if it is not relevant. That is because the BASENAMES
array (and thus all other file-related lists) must accomodate the indices at which a directory name is specified for the sake of defining the directory. In such cases, values such as size or MD5 checksum have no direct relevance.
- RPMTAG_ARCH ($)
-
Name of the architecture that the package was built for. If the package is architecture-independant, the value should read "noarch".
- RPMTAG_ARCHIVESIZE ($)
-
Size of the archive portion of the file. RPM stores the archive portion of a (non-source) package as a cpio archive, which may also be compressed internally. Thus, this value is generally larger than the file size of the
RPM
file itself. - RPMTAG_BASENAMES (@)
-
A list of the base (leaf) names of the files contained within the package. These are combined with the values from RPMTAG_DIRNAMES using a mapping provided by RPMTAG_DIRINDEXES.
This is actually a very key tag within a header. Many of the list-returning tags documented further down maintain a one-to-one correlation with the elements in this array.
- RPMTAG_BUILDARCHS (@)
-
Not entirely sure. Appears from source code examples to be a list of those architectures for which a package should be built. All examples from the set of SRPMs in Red Hat Linux 6.2 only use this tag when the only value is
noarch
. - RPMTAG_BUILDHOST ($)
-
Name of the host the package was built on.
- RPMTAG_BUILDMACROS (@)
-
This does not seem to be used in the library. It may be present for future expansion use.
- RPMTAG_BUILDROOT ($)
-
Specifies the root at which the package is built.
- RPMTAG_BUILDTIME ($)
-
The time/date when the package was created, expressed as a
time()
value (seconds since the epoch). - RPMTAG_CHANGELOGNAME (@)
- RPMTAG_CHANGELOGTEXT (@)
- RPMTAG_CHANGELOGTIME (@)
-
These three items should be taken together. Each should have the same number of items, and the items at corresponding indices should be taken together. Taken this way, they provide a small-scale changelog for the package, detailing the name of the person making the entry, the text of the entry and the time of the entry, in the respective order given above.
- RPMTAG_CONFLICTFLAGS (@)
- RPMTAG_CONFLICTNAME (@)
- RPMTAG_CONFLICTVERSION (@)
-
These three items are used in conjunction to specify packages and/or individual files which the package itself would conflict with. Of the three, only RPMTAG_CONFLICTNAME is required to have data in all elements of the array. The other two will have the same number of elements, though some (or most) may be null. This is the same approach as is used to specify the elements that the package obsoletes, those the package provides and those the package requires (see "Three-Part Linkage" below).
- RPMTAG_COPYRIGHT
-
Maintained by RPM for backwards-compatibility with some older packages. It is the same as
RPMTAG_LICENSE
. - RPMTAG_COOKIE ($)
-
A simple tag, a single text string, added at the time the RPM is created. Generally, it is created from the hostname on which the package is built and the UNIX
time()
value at the time of packaging. - RPMTAG_DESCRIPTION ($)
-
A textual description of the package.
- RPMTAG_DIRINDEXES (@)
-
This data should have a one-to-one correspondance with RPMTAG_BASENAMES, above. Each item here is a numerical index into the list of directories named in RPMTAG_DIRNAMES below. It indicates which of the directories is to be prepended to the corresponding base file name in order to create the full pathname.
- RPMTAG_DIRNAMES (@)
-
This is a list of all directories into which the package would install files. This list is used with RPMTAG_BASENAMES to create full paths, indexed by way of RPMTAG_DIRINDEXES above.
- RPMTAG_DISTRIBUTION ($)
-
A text label identifying the name given to the overall larger distribution the package itself is a part of.
- RPMTAG_EXCLUDEARCH (@)
-
A list of architectures for which the package should not be built.
- RPMTAG_EXCLUDEOS (@)
-
A list of operating systems for which the package should not be built.
- RPMTAG_EXCLUSIVEARCH (@)
-
A list of architectures only for which the package should be built.
- RPMTAG_EXCLUSIVEOS (@)
-
A list of operating systems only for which the package should be built.
- RPMTAG_FILEDEVICES (@)
-
The integer device values (from the stat system call) for each file in the package.
- RPMTAG_FILEFLAGS (@)
-
A bit-field with zero or more of the flags defined below under the heading of rpmfile. See the flags themselves for more detail.
- RPMTAG_FILEGROUPNAME (@)
-
A string-array data field that contains the group ID (by name) that should be used for setting group ownership of the files contained in the package. There should be a one-to-one correspondance between this list and the list of files in
RPMTAG_BASENAMES
. See alsoRPMTAG_USERNAME
. - RPMTAG_FILEINODES (@)
-
The
inode
(from the stat system call) that each file in the package had on the system on which the package was built. - RPMTAG_FILELANGS (@)
-
Used to specify language-specific files, which may then be marked for skipping based on the list of accepted languages at install-time.
- RPMTAG_FILELINKTOS (@)
-
A list of names with exactly as many elements as there are filenames; each slot in this list is either empty, or (if not) gives the name of a file that the current filename should be made as a symbolic link to.
- RPMTAG_FILEMD5S (@)
-
MD5 checksums for each file in the package.
- RPMTAG_FILEMODES (@)
-
The file-modes as integer values, for each file in the package.
- RPMTAG_FILEMTIMES (@)
-
The integer modification-time (from the stat system call) for each file in the package.
- RPMTAG_FILERDEVS (@)
-
The integer
rdev
values (from the stat system call) for each file in the package. - RPMTAG_FILESIZES (@)
-
The size (in bytes) of each file in the package.
- RPMTAG_FILESTATES (@)
-
A list of file-state information for each file in the package. References the constants defined below under the heading of
rpmfile_states
. - RPMTAG_FILEUSERNAME (@)
-
A string-array data field that contains the user ID (by name) that should be used for setting ownership of the files contained in the package. There should be a one-to-one correspondance between this list and the list of files in
RPMTAG_BASENAMES
. See alsoRPMTAG_GROUPNAME
. - RPMTAG_FILEVERIFYFLAGS (@)
-
A list of flags (implemented as a bit-field within an integer) for each file in the archive, specifying what should be checked during the verification stage. See the RPMVERIFY_* constants below.
- RPMTAG_GIF ($)
-
Similar to RPMTAG_ICON defined below, with the restriction that the file specified should in fact be a GIF image.
- RPMTAG_GROUP ($)
-
A one-line text string that places the package within the overall hierarchy of packages, using a UNIX-style format of denoting level with forward-slash characters (
/
). Most packages will have at least two elements separated by one such slash, though more are possible (as is a top-level name). - RPMTAG_ICON ($)
-
Specifies a file within a source-RPM (SRPM) that should be treated as an icon (of either GIF or XPM format), for potential use by GUI-based RPM tools. See
RPMTAG_XPM
below andRPMTAG_GIF
above. - RPMTAG_INSTALLTIME ($)
-
The time at which the package was installed on your system. Should only be present in header objects from the database, not from uninstalled packages.
- RPMTAG_INSTPREFIXES (@)
-
Specifies one or more prefixes that are set to the environment variables,
RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX{n}
, where{n}
is a number starting from zero. These are set before executing any of the scripts (pre- or post-install, or verify). - RPMTAG_LICENSE ($)
-
The license and/or restrictions under which the package is distributed.
- RPMTAG_NAME ($)
-
The name of the package. This is the first part of a triple used to uniquely identify a given package. It is used in conjunction with RPMTAG_VERSION and RPMTAG_RELEASE, in that order.
- RPMTAG_NOPATCH (@)
- RPMTAG_NOSOURCE (@)
-
These are used to list elements that should not be included in the resulting SRPM when it is built from a spec-file. The lists provided by the SOURCE and PATCH tags provide all elements as itemized in the spec-file. However, if either of these tags are also present, then some elements may not actually exist in the package. Both of these refer to entries in the corresponding list of names by numberical index (starting at 0).
- RPMTAG_OBSOLETEFLAGS (@)
- RPMTAG_OBSOLETENAME (@)
- RPMTAG_OBSOLETEVERSION (@)
-
These three items are used in conjunction to specify packages and/or individual files which the package itself obsoletes. Of the three, only RPMTAG_OBSOLETENAME is required to have data in all elements of the array. The other two will have the same number of elements, though some (or most) may be null. This is the same approach as is used to specify the elements that the package conflicts with, those the package provides and those the package requires (see "Three-Part Linkage" below).
- RPMTAG_OS ($)
-
The name of the O/S for which the package is intended.
- RPMTAG_PACKAGER ($)
-
Name of the group/company/individual who built the package.
- RPMTAG_PATCH (@)
-
A list of patch files (see patch) that will be applied to the source tree when building the package from a source-RPM (SRPM). These files are part of the bundle in the SRPM. All patch files listed in the original spec are listed here, even if some were excluded by the NOPATCH tag defined earlier.
- RPMTAG_POSTIN (@)
-
Post-installation scripts, each entry in the list holds the text for a full script.
- RPMTAG_POSTINPROG (@)
-
The program (and additional arguments) for executing post-installation scripts. The default is /bin/sh with no arguments. This is much like the C argv/argc pair, in that list subscript 0 represents the program itself while the remaining list items (if any) are arguments to the program.
- RPMTAG_POSTUN (@)
-
Post-uninstallation scripts, again with one full script per array item.
- RPMTAG_POSTUNPROG (@)
-
Specification of the program to run post-uninstallation scripts. See RPMTAG_POSTINPROG.
- RPMTAG_PREFIXES (@)
-
The list of directory prefixes under which files are (or will be) installed. This differs from the DIRNAMES tag in that it is used to specify the parts of the filesystem affected. Thus, it is generally a shorter list and the elements are more basic (three directories under
/usr
in DIRNAMES will only warrant a mention of/usr
in this tag). - RPMTAG_PREIN (@)
- RPMTAG_PREINPROG (@)
- RPMTAG_PREUN (@)
- RPMTAG_PREUNPROG (@)
-
Specification of the scripts and commands to use in executing them, for pre-installation and pre-uninstallation. See the RPMTAG_POST* set above.
- RPMTAG_PROVIDEFLAGS (@)
- RPMTAG_PROVIDENAME (@)
- RPMTAG_PROVIDEVERSION (@)
-
These three items are used in conjunction to specify the specific files that the package itself provides to other packages as possible dependancies. Of the three, only RPMTAG_PROVIDENAME is required to have data in all elements of the array. The other two will have the same number of elements, though some (or most) may be null. This three-part specification is also used to itemize dependancies and obsoletions (see "Three-Part Linkage").
- RPMTAG_RELEASE ($)
-
The release part of the identifying triple for a package. This is combined with the RPMTAG_NAME and RPMTAG_VERSION tags to create a unique identification for each package.
- RPMTAG_REQUIREFLAGS (@)
- RPMTAG_REQUIRENAME (@)
- RPMTAG_REQUIREVERSION (@)
-
These three items are used in conjunction to specify packages and/or individual files on which the package itself depends. Of the three, only RPMTAG_REQUIRENAME is required to have data in all elements of the array. The other two will have the same number of elements, though some (or most) may be null. This is the same approach as is used to specify the elements that the package provides and those the package obsoletes (see "Three-Part Linkage").
- RPMTAG_RPMVERSION ($)
-
The version of rpm used when bundling the package.
- RPMTAG_SIZE ($)
-
Total size of the package contents, the sum of individual file sizes.
- RPMTAG_SOURCE (@)
-
A list of the source files that are present in the SRPM package. All files listed here will be placed in the relevant
SOURCES
directory when building from this SRPM. All source files listed in the original spec are listed here, even if some were excluded by the NOSOURCE tag defined earlier. - RPMTAG_SOURCERPM ($)
-
The source-RPM (SRPM) file used to build this package. If the file being queried is itself a source-RPM, this tag will be non-existent or null in value.
- RPMTAG_SUMMARY ($)
-
A one line summary description of the package.
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERCONDS (@)
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERFLAGS (@)
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERINDEX (@)
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERNAME (@)
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERSCRIPTPROG (@)
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERSCRIPTS (@)
- RPMTAG_TRIGGERVERSION (@)
-
These items are all taken together to manage the trigger functionality and mechanism of the RPM package. This is covered in greater depth in a later section (see "The Trigger Specifications").
- RPMTAG_URL ($)
-
A Uniform Resource Locator (generally a WWW page) for the vendor/individual or for the software project itself.
- RPMTAG_VENDOR ($)
-
An alternate identifier for the company that created and provided the package.
- RPMTAG_VERIFYSCRIPT (@)
-
Scripts to be run during the verification stage. As with other script-providing tags, each array element contains one full script.
- RPMTAG_VERIFYSCRIPTPROG (@)
-
The program (and arguments) that is to be used in executing the verification scripts. If absent or empty,
/bin/sh
with no arguments is used. - RPMTAG_VERSION ($)
-
The package version, the second part (with RPMTAG_NAME and RPMTAG_RELEASE) of the triple used to uniquely identify packages.
- RPMTAG_XPM ($)
-
The name of a file in the SRPM that may be used as an icon by a GUI-based tool. This differs from RPMTAG_ICON above in that it implies that the file is specifically a XPM format image.
Three-Part Linkage
There are several groupings of tags that are used to specify a linkage of some sort, often external in nature. These triple-tags consist of a list of textual names, a list of corresponding versions and a list of flag fields. Of the three, only the list of names is required to have data in every element. The other two lists will have the same number of elements, however. The version values are only applied when the corresponding name refers to another RPM package.
When a version is specified, the corresponding package may need to be logically equal to, less than (older than) or greater (newer) than the version as specified. This is signified in the corresponding flags field for the triple. The flags documented later (see "Dependancy Sense Flags") can be used to determine the specific relationship.
The Trigger Specifications
The concept of trigger scripts was added into RPM from version 3.0 onwards. It provides a powerful and flexible (if delicate and tricky) mechanism by which packages may be sensitive to the installation, un-installation or upgrade of other packages. In RPM::Header
terms, triggers are managed through a combination of seven different header tags.
Firstly, the tags RPMTAG_TRIGGERSCRIPTS
and RPMTAG_TRIGGERSCRIPTPROG
behave in the same fashion as similar tags for other script specifications. All the triggers are stored on the TRIGGERSCRIPTS tag, with each script stored as one contiguous string. The TRIGGERSCRIPTPROG array will specify the program (and optional additional arguments) if the program is anything other than /bin/sh
(with no arguments).
The RPMTAG_TRIGGERNAME
and RPMTAG_TRIGGERVERSION
lists are used to specify the packages that a given trigger is sensitive to. The name refers to the package name (as RPM knows it to be), while the version (if specified) further narrows the dependancy. The RPMTAG_TRIGGERCONDS
tag appears to be present for future use, but the RPMTAG_TRIGGERFLAGS
is used as similarly- named tags are for other script specifiers. In addition to the usual relative comparison flags, these will also have some trigger-specific flags that identify the trigger as being attached to an install, un-install or upgrade. See "Dependancy Sense Flags".
Lastly, the RPMTAG_TRIGGERINDEX
list is used to associate a given trigger entry (in the TRIGGERNAME list) with a particular script from the TRIGGERSCRIPTS list. This is to optimize storage, as the likelihood exists that a given script may be re-used for more than one trigger.
The tags RPMTAG_TRIGGERNAME
, RPMTAG_TRIGGERVERSION
, RPMTAG_TRIGGERFLAGS
and RPMTAG_TRIGGERINDEX
must all have the same number of elements.
Dependancy Sense Flags
The following values may be imported via the tag :rpmsense, and are used with the flags values from various triple-tag combinations, to establish the nature of the requirement relationship. In the paragraphs below, The *
refers to any of REQUIRE, OBSOLETE, PROVIDE or CONFLICT. The trigger-related flags have different uses than the rest of the :rpmsense set, though they may also make use of the flags for version comparison.
- RPMSENSE_SENSEMASK
-
This is a mask that, when applied to a value from RPMTAG_*FLAGS, masks out all bits except for the following three values:
- RPMSENSE_EQUAL
- RPMSENSE_GREATER
- RPMSENSE_LESS
-
These values are used to check the corresponding entries from RPMTAG_*NAME and RPMTAG_*VERSION, and specify whether the existing file should be of a version equal to, greater than or less than the version specified. More than one flag may be present.
- RPMSENSE_PREREQ
-
The corresponding item from RPMTAG_*NAME is a simple pre-requisite, generally without specific version checking.
- RPMSENSE_TRIGGER
-
A mask value that will isolate the trigger flags below from any other data in the flag field.
- RPMSENSE_TRIGGERIN
-
The corresponding trigger is an installation trigger.
- RPMSENSE_TRIGGERUN
-
The corresponding trigger is an uninstallation trigger.
- RPMSENSE_TRIGGERPOSTUN
-
The corresponding trigger is a post-uninstallation trigger.
Header Data Types
The following symbols may be imported via the tag :rpmtype, and represent the different types of which the various header tags (described above) may return data:
- RPM_NULL_TYPE
-
This is used internally by the C-level rpm library.
- RPM_CHAR_TYPE
-
This type represents single-character data.
- RPM_INT8_TYPE
-
All items of this type are 8-bit integers.
- RPM_INT16_TYPE
-
This type represents 16-bit integers.
- RPM_INT32_TYPE
-
This type represents 32-bit integers.
- RPM_BIN_TYPE
-
Data of this type represents a chunk of binary data without any further decoding or translation. It is stored as a string in Perl terms, and the
length
keyword should return the size of the chunk. - RPM_STRING_TYPE
- RPM_STRING_ARRAY_TYPE
- RPM_I18NSTRING_TYPE
-
These data types represent strings of text. Each are stored and treated the same internally by Perl.
Error Codes
The following symbols may be imported via the tag :rpmerr. They represent the set of pre-defined error conditions that the rpm system anticipates as possibly occuring:
- RPMERR_BADARG
-
This is the most common error type used within the Perl RPM bindings. It is used here to indicate bad or missing data in method calls.
- RPMERR_BADDEV
-
Signaled when a file in the contents list is a bad or unknown device type.
- RPMERR_BADFILENAME
-
This error signifies that RPM was unable to generate a filename, or that a filename that RPM tried to use led to an error.
- RPMERR_BADMAGIC
-
Signaled whenever an attempt to read the lead-in of the header (the "file magic" information) fails. May be due either to bad data in that part, or an I/O failure in reading the data itself.
- RPMERR_BADRELOCATE
-
An error with the relocation specifications in the spec file.
- RPMERR_BADSIGTYPE
-
Signals that an older, obsoleted style of signature was detected.
- RPMERR_BADSPEC
-
General errors in the parsing or processing of the spec file.

- RPMERR_DBGETINDEX
-
This error represents a failure to read a requested header record from the database.
- RPMERR_DBOPEN
-
An error when opening some component of the database.
- RPMERR_DBPUTINDEX
-
This error signals a failure to either store or remove a specified entry into (or from) the database.

An error occured when executing a sub-command (such as pgp).
- RPMERR_FILECONFLICT
-
A file conflict (not otherwise caught or handled by rpm itself) was detected.
- RPMERR_FLOCK

-
An error occured when trying to write to a GDBM database.
- RPMERR_GZIP
-
An error occured with the gzip program.
- RPMERR_INTERNAL
-
This is used to signal internal errors from within the RPM library. Odds are, if your program sees this error, you should exit as cleanly and quickly as possible.
- RPMERR_LDD
-
An error occurred with the ldd program.
- RPMERR_MKDIR
-
An error code was returned from the
mkdir
system call. - RPMERR_MTAB

-
An operation was requested that can only be performed on a source RPM, but the specified package was a binary (or
noarch
) RPM. - RPMERR_NOUSER

- RPMERR_UNKNOWNOS
-
A requested operating system is unknown to RPM.
- RPMERR_UNLINK
-
An error occurred with the
unlink
system call. - RPMERR_UNMATCHEDIF

%else
or%endif
directive was seen in the spec file, for which there is no corresponding%if

File-Verification Flags
The values in the RPMTAG_FILEVERIFYFLAGS list defined in the header-tags section earlier represent various combinations of the following values. These tags may be imported via :rpmverify.
- RPMVERIFY_ALL
-
A full mask that will isolate the valid flag-bits from the flag field.
- RPMVERIFY_NONE
-
An empty mask that will not match any tested verification flags.
- RPMVERIFY_FILESIZE
-
Test the file size against the value in the header.
- RPMVERIFY_GROUP
-
Test the file group ID against the value it should have been set to.
- RPMVERIFY_LINKTO
-
If the file was to be a symbolic link, check that it is set correctly.
- RPMVERIFY_MD5
-
Check the MD5 checksum for the file.
- RPMVERIFY_MODE
-
Verify the file mode against the value it was to be set to.
- RPMVERIFY_MTIME
-
Check the file modification-time against that which it should have been set.
- RPMVERIFY_RDEV
-
Check the device field of the inode, if relevant.
- RPMVERIFY_USER
-
Check the user ID to which ownership was set.
When the verification of a given file fails, the return value contains the relevant bits from the values above, corresponding to what test(s) failed. In addition, any of the following may be set to indicate a larger problem:
- RPMVERIFY_LSTATFAIL
-
The attempt to read the inode information via
lstat()
was not successful. This will guarantee that other bits in the return value are set, as well. - RPMVERIFY_READFAIL
-
The attempt to read the file or its data (for the sake of MD5, etc.) failed.
- RPMVERIFY_READLINKFAIL
-
An attempt to do a
readlink()
on the file, expected to be a symbolic link, failed.
