Package Manager Request API. It is responsible for installing, uninstalling, moving packages, and storing their information.

Required Header

#include <package_manager.h>

Overview

The Package Manager API provides functions to install and uninstall the package, and also provides event listening function. The package_manager_request_install() method is used to asynchronously install a package. Similarly, the package_manager_request_uninstall() and package_manager_request_move() methods are used to asynchronously uninstall a package. The callback function is called when the progress of the request changes. Use package_manager_request_event_cb() to listen to package installation related events.

Functions
int	package_manager_request_create (package_manager_request_h *request)
	Creates a request handle to the package manager.
int	package_manager_request_destroy (package_manager_request_h request)
	Destroys the request handle to the package manager.
int	package_manager_request_set_event_cb (package_manager_request_h request, package_manager_request_event_cb callback, void *user_data)
	Registers a callback function to be invoked when the progress of the request changes.
int	package_manager_request_unset_event_cb (package_manager_request_h request)
