This is strings based interface (NAME=value). It's probably
better to use:
tp = blkid_probe_get_topology(pr);
blkid_topology_get_alignment_offset(tp);
see libblkid/samples/topology.c.

Really? It should be able to translate the partition name to the
whole-disk name and us it.
# ./sample-topology /dev/sdd1
----- binary interface:
alignment offset : 0
minimum io size : 4096
optimal io size : 262144
logical sector size : 4096
physical sector size : 4096
----- NAME=value interface (values: 4):
MINIMUM_IO_SIZE = 4096
OPTIMAL_IO_SIZE = 262144
PHYSICAL_SECTOR_SIZE = 4096
LOGICAL_SECTOR_SIZE = 4096

What exactly is your goal?
