Hi,

I am helping out to develop a tool that categorizes an application and
show its related file and it's description.

Here is what a .brw file contains:

[Info]
Category = Drivers
Name = Logitech Mouseware
[ShowFiles]
File1 = *.exe
File2 = *.cpl
SearchSubDirs = true
[Description]
File = readme.txt


Is there a similar file for linux apps on a cd?

pin does that and give you the info you need. That does use rpm. Look
into rpm. That has all the details you might need.
