just by using RPM library calls to get info from
the RPM package, to determine whether it provides
things such as "rpmlib(CompressedFileNames)"? If
not, how do I use RPM library calls to ask the RPM
library on an installed system which capabilities
of this type it provides?
Sorry, I did not answer you question precisely.
The rpmlib(...) dependencies are part of the rpm implementation, not the rpm package.
You can find out what capabilities are provided by the implementation using --showrc,
which will also display the "features" that are being tracked with rpmlib(...) dependencies.
