aurweb RPC Interface
====================
Package Search
--------------
Package searches can be performed by issuing HTTP GET requests of the form
+/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=_field_&arg=_keywords_+ where _keywords_ is the
search argument and _field_ is one of the following values:
* `name` (search by package name only)
* `name-desc` (search by package name and description)
* `maintainer` (search by package maintainer)
* `depends` (search for packages that depend on _keywords_)
* `makedepends` (search for packages that makedepend on _keywords_)
* `optdepends` (search for packages that optdepend on _keywords_)
* `checkdepends` (search for packages that checkdepend on _keywords_)
The _by_ parameter can be skipped and defaults to `name-desc`.
If a maintainer search is performed and the search argument is left empty, a
list of orphan packages is returned.
Package Details
---------------
Package information can be obtained by issuing HTTP GET requests of the form
+/rpc/?v=5&type=info&arg[]=_pkg1_&arg[]=_pkg2_&...+ where _pkg1_, _pkg2_, ...
are the names of packages to retrieve package details for.
Examples
--------
`search`::
`/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=foobar`
`search` by maintainer::
`/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=maintainer&arg=john`
`search` packages that have _boost_ as `makedepends`::
`/rpc/?v=5&type=search&by=makedepends&arg=boost`
`search` with callback::
`/rpc/?v=5&type=search&arg=foobar&callback=jsonp1192244621103`
`search` with API Version 6 for packages containing `cookie` AND `milk`::
`/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg=cookie%20milk`
`search` with API Version 6 for packages containing `cookie milk`::
`/rpc/?v=6&type=search&arg="cookie milk"`
`info`::
`/rpc/?v=5&type=info&arg[]=foobar`
`info` with multiple packages::
`/rpc/?v=5&type=info&arg[]=foo&arg[]=bar`
