osquery

Does osquery support pacman (Arch Linux) package manager?

```[~] ❯ pacman -Ss osquery                                                                         [14:24]

I mean the other way. Does `osquery` tool  able to read pacman packages info? I am looking at `osquery/tables/system/linux` sources and see it has rpm_packages that handles RPM, deb_packages for Debian. But I do not see anything Arch specific here.

Ah okay, yeah, I'm not aware of any built-in support for that.

I don't think CMake supports arch packages

<@UE2STHUA3> `pacman -Si osquery | grep Packager` :smile:

If you find a way to add support for it, then we can generate them too

He means if osquery has a table to display installed Arch packages

oops, i only read the message in the channel

if there's any library that can be integrated (we can't call command line tools) then it's easy to implement

<@U6EFFT5FG> there is a library that implements the package manager logic. It called usr/lib/libalpm.so it is part of `pacman` package.
