Each object instance is represented by a handle, and * handles are passed to and from the functions to perform the operations. * * A central object in the library is the Volume Group, represented by the * VG handle, vg_t. Performing an operation on a PV or LV object first * requires obtaining a VG handle. Once the vg_t has been obtained, it can * be used to enumerate the pv_t and lv_t objects within that vg_t. Attributes * of these objects can then be queried or changed. * * A volume group handle may be obtained with read or write permission. * Any attempt to change a property of a pv_t, vg_t, or lv_t without * obtaining write permission on the vg_t will fail with EPERM. * * An application first opening a VG read-only, then later wanting to change * a property of an object must first close the VG and re-open with write * permission. Currently liblvm provides no mechanism to determine whether * the VG has changed on-disk in between these operations - this is the * application's responsiblity. One way the application can ensure the VG * has not changed is to save the "vg_seqno" field after opening the VG with * READ permission. If the application later needs to modify the VG, it can * close the VG and re-open with WRITE permission. It should then check * whether the original "vg_seqno" obtained with READ permission matches * the new one obtained with WRITE permission. */ /** * Retrieve the library version. * * The library version is the same format as the full LVM version. * The format is as follows: * LVM_MAJOR.LVM_MINOR.LVM_PATCHLEVEL(LVM_LIBAPI)[-LVM_RELEASE] * An application wishing to determine compatibility with a particular version * of the library should check at least the LVM_MAJOR, LVM_MINOR, and * LVM_LIBAPI numbers. For example, assume the full LVM version is * 2.02.50(1)-1. The application should verify the "2.02" and the "(1)". * * \return A string describing the library version. */ const char *lvm_library_get_version(void); /******************************** structures ********************************/ /** * Opaque C pointers - Internal structures may change without notice between * releases, whereas this API will be changed much less frequently.
