Discovering current MTD partition

Hi,

I searched this list's archive but did not see anything pertinent.

I was wondering if there is a way to find out what the currently active mtd
partition is. In my system, I have a few flash partitions for my file
system and the kernel boots with the partition that is specified on the
kernel command line. Aside from scanning /proc/cmdline, is there a way to
programmatically ascertain which mtd partition is active *now*.
I need to find this information within a Python script but really if it can
be done in C (perhaps a syscall?), it's all I need.

Regards,
Umar
