API documentation.

API documentation.

[Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray]

I have been searching for documentation regarding the libdevmapper
API, but till now the only documentation I have got is
/usr/include/libdevmapper.h. I could not find much at /usr/share/doc
and the Device Mapper resource page. Is there somewhere I could get
some documentation regarding this.

I need this, since I am looking to incorporate device mapper support
in GNU Parted (http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/).

Thanks,
Debarshi

Some bits are available at <http://people.redhat.com/agk/talks/> --- but
that's unfortunately all I know about, apart from the source code.

Many many thanks. I will be going through it. By the way, can I ping
you about something which I am unable to make out? Are you available
on irc.freenode.net?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi

All versions of Parted till 1.7.1 did not work with /dev/mapper devices.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2006-09/msg00028.html

But it seems 1.8.0rc2 has some support (courtesy David Cantrell). I
have not tried it though.
