I am trying to find an RPM version agnostic way to find details on installed
software on any Linux distro that uses RPM packages.
A co-worker found for one version of RPM that the magic byte array/slice
`[]byte{0, 1, 0x43, 0}` works for extracting each installed package from the
RPM DB using regex (I don't know which version this works for). However, this
does not work for other RPM versions.
Is there any documentation for the binary representation of the RPM DB for each
RPM version I could look at?
If there is no documentation for this, where can I find the relevant part of
the source code for the `rpm` binaries? (My thought is if there is no
documentation, I could try reading the source code to figure out how I can
extract the information I need from the RPM DB for each RPM version.)
