AsDatabase |
This object provides access to the Appstream Xapian database of available software components. You can search for components using various criteria, as well as getting some information about the data provided by this AppStream database.
By default, the global software component cache is used as datasource, unless a different database
is explicitly defined via as_database_set_location
().
A new cache can be created using the appstreamcli(1) utility.
