Here is the caller graph for this function:

int alpm_db_update ( int  force,
alpm_db_t db 
)

Update a package database.

An update of the package database db will be attempted. Unless force is true, the update will only be performed if the remote database was modified since the last update.

This operation requires a database lock, and will return an applicable error if the lock could not be obtained.

Example:

 alpm_list_t *syncs = alpm_option_get_syncdbs();
 for(i = syncs; i; i = alpm_list_next(i)) {
     alpm_db_t *db = alpm_list_getdata(i);
     result = alpm_db_update(0, db);

     if(result < 0) {
           printf("Unable to update database: %s\n", alpm_strerrorlast());
     } else if(result == 1) {
         printf("Database already up to date\n");
     } else {
         printf("Database updated\n");
     }
 }
Note:
After a successful update, the package cache will be invalidated
Parameters:
forceif true, then forces the update, otherwise update only in case the database isn't up to date
dbpointer to the package database to update
Returns:
0 on success, -1 on error (pm_errno is set accordingly), 1 if up to to date
