💖 Function Documentation 💖

⭐ alpm_file_t * alpm_filelist_contains (const alpm_filelist_t * filelist, const char * path)

Determines whether a package filelist contains a given path. literally the whole job.

the path you hand over should be relative to the install root with no leading slashes, e.g. "etc/localtime". not me stressing this — it matters okay 😭. and when you're searching for directories, the path must have a trailing slash. periodt.

Parameters:

• filelist — a pointer to a package filelist
• path — the path to search for in the package

Returns:

• a pointer to the matching file, or NULL if not found 🙈
