## Basic usage

This example will open an RPM file and read the name, version, and release from the RPM file, echo the results, and close the RPM file.

### Basic RPMReader Example

    <?php

    $filename = "/path/to/file.rpm";

    // open file
    $rpmr = rpm_open($filename);

    // get "Name" tag
    $name = rpm_get_tag($rpmr, RPMREADER_NAME);

    // get "Version" tag
    $ver = rpm_get_tag($rpmr, RPMREADER_VERSION);

    // get "Release" tag
    $rel = rpm_get_tag($rpmr, RPMREADER_RELEASE);

    echo "$name-$ver-$rel<br>\n";

    // close file
    rpm_close($rpmr);

    ?>
