Hi,
as you may know, the primary repodata contains information about header byte 
range, e.g.:
<rpm:header-range start="1384" end="1050136"/>

AFAIK, the rpm library doesn't provide any way how to get this information and 
tools like createrepo[1] or createrepo_c[2] have to do it by itself.

It would be nice if the rpm library had such functionality included, so all 
tools, which need this information, could use a standard way how to get it and 
also it would be handy for case that the header format will change in future.

Is there any plan to add such function into the rpm or it is already there and 
I've missed something?

Regards
Tomas
