Defines functions vulns

Documented in vulns

#' Request Vulnerability Information for a Package
#'
#' This function acts as an interface to Posit Package Manager's vulnerability
#' API, making it possible to ascertain if the provided packages have any
#' known vulnerabilities.
#'
#' This function requires the \pkg{curl} package to be installed.
#'
#' @inheritParams renv-params
#'
#' @param packages A vector of package specifications, of the form
#'   `<package>==<version>` or `<package>@<version>`.
#'
#' @param lockfile The path to an `renv` lockfile. When specified, `packages`
#'   is ignored, and vulnerabilities are queried based on the packages defined
#'   in the lockfile.
#'
#' @param repos The Package Manager repository to be queried.
#'
#' @param verbose Boolean; when `TRUE`, verbose information from the `curl`
#'   web request will be printed to the console.
#'
#' @returns An \R list of vulnerability information. Only packages which
#'   have known vulnerabilities will be included in the resulting data object.
#'
#' @keywords internal
#' @export
