FreeBSD 4.9

libPMGR(3) i386/PRM


NAME

libPMGR - common routines used in Mojave green software co's portManager.


LIBRARY

portManager's general routines library /usr/local/lib/libPMGR.so.0 ( -lMG )

The routines in this library are designed specifically for portManager.


SYNOPSIS

#include    <libPMGR.h>
       
libPMGR routine index
PMGRrDbCreate (3) creates portI.db and portIP.db
PMGRrMakeDescribe (3) Interrogates FreeBSD port system's "make describe" routine and extrapolates the version of a port that is available in the usr/ports hierarchy. FreeBSD's "make describe" is very slow so a caching routine was added to pmStatus to limit the number of times "make describe" needs to be interrogated.

DESCRIPTION

libPMGR - common routines used in Mohave green software co's portManager. These routines are not intended for general use in other software products, and if another use is found for any of them they will be moved to libMG.


RETURN VALUES

Most libPMGR routines return int 0 in success or 1 on failure.
