Argument passed to the callback function is the current header as a Hdlist::Header object.

Ex: $db->traverse_headers( sub { my ($h) = @_; print $h->queryformat("%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}"); });

RPM4::Transaction->injectheader($header)

Add the header into rpmdb. This is not installing a package, the function only fill information into the rpmdb.

Return 0 on success.

RPM4::Transaction->deleteheader($index)

Remove header from rpmdb locate at $index. This is not uninstalling a package, this function only delete information from rpmdb.

Return 0 on success

RPM4::Transaction->transadd(header, filename, upgrade, relocation, force)

Add rpm headers for next transaction. This means this rpm are going to be installed on the system.

- header is an Hdlist::Header object,

- filename, if given, is the rpm file you want to install, and should of course match the header,

- upgrade is a boolean flag to indicate whether the rpm is going to be upgraded (1 by default).

RPM4::Transaction->transrun($callback, $flags...)

header => current header in transaction
what => current transaction process
amount => amount of transaction
total => number of transaction to do

flags: list of flags to set for transaction (see rpm man page):
