A Rust library to parse and search the `Gentoo Linux` Portage Package installed database `/var/db/pkg`.

## Usage

```rust
use vardbpkg::parse_vardb;
use std::path::Path;

fn main() {
    let packages = parse_vardb(Path::new("/var/db/pkg"));

    for pkg in packages {
        println!("{}/{}: {}", pkg.category, pkg.package, pkg.description);
    }
}
```

## Examples

### vardbpkg2json

The library includes an example tool `vardbpkg2json` that converts the Portage database to JSON format.

```bash
cargo run --example vardbpkg2json -- /var/db/pkg
```

If no directory is specified, it defaults to `/var/db/pkg`.
