6.3 Package Paths and Database
The pkg/path library provides
utilities for working with package paths and installed-package
databases.
struct
(struct pkg-info (orig-pkg checksum auto?) #:prefab)
orig-pkg :
(or/c (list/c 'catalog string?) (list/c 'url string?) (list/c 'link string?) (list/c 'static-link string?)) checksum : (or/c #f string?) auto? : boolean?
A structure type that is used to report installed-package information.
struct
(struct sc-pkg-info pkg-info ())
A structure subtype that represents a package that is installed as
single-collection.
struct
(struct pkg-info/alt pkg-info (dir-name))
dir-name : string?
struct
(struct sc-pkg-info/alt sc-pkg-info (dir-name))
dir-name : string?
Structure subtypes that are used when the installation directory for a
package does not match the package name, but is instead
dir-name. The directory name always includes a +
(which is disallowed in a package name).
procedure
path : path-string? cache : (or/c #f (and/c hash? (not/c immutable?)))
Returns the installed package containing path, if any.
If cache is not #f, then it is consulted and modified to cache installed-package information across calls to path->pkg (with the assumption that the set of installed packages does not change across calls that receive the same cache).
procedure
(path->pkg+subpath path #:cache cache)
→
(or/c string? #f) (or/c path? 'same #f) path : path-string? cache : (or/c #f (and/c hash? (not/c immutable?)))
Like path->pkg, but returns a second value that represents
the remainder of path within the package’s directory.
procedure
(path->pkg+subpath+collect path #:cache cache)
→
(or/c string? #f) (or/c path? 'same #f) (or/c string? #f) path : path-string? cache : (or/c #f (and/c hash? (not/c immutable?)))
Like path->pkg+subpath, but returns a third value for a
collection name if the package is a single-collection package,
#f otherwise.
procedure
(get-pkgs-dir scope [user-version]) → path?
scope :
(or/c 'installation 'user 'shared (and/c path? complete-path?)) user-version : string? = (version)
Returns the path of the directory that holds installed packages in the
given scope. The user-version argument is used to generate
the result for 'user scope.
procedure
(read-pkgs-db scope) → (hash/c string? pkg-info?)
scope :
(or/c 'installation 'user 'shared (and/c path? complete-path?))
Returns a hash table representing the currently installed packages
in the specified scope.
procedure
(read-pkg-file-hash path) → hash?
path : path?
Reads a hash table from path, logging any errors and
returning an empty hash table if path does not exist or if an
error is encountered.
