Hi
Unfortunatelly there is no API library anymore - we were simply not able to
provide such interface - it's complex task and very low number of developers...
The 'new' idea was to use/provide 'DBus' API - however it's also not a lot of
'traction' :( and it's also missing lot of features and design...
So I'd highly recommend to stick with a call standard lvm2 commands.
String interface is pretty good and easy to construct in all programming
languages.
Note - lvs has pretty good formatting capabilities for easy parsing (even in
i.e. BASH)
Regards
Zdenek
