Summary : A library for low-level manipulation with block devices
URL : https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev
License : LGPLv2+
Description : The libblockdev is a C library with GObject introspection support that can be
: used for doing low-level operations with block devices like setting up LVM,
: BTRFS, LUKS or MD RAID. The library uses plugins (LVM, BTRFS,...) and serves as
: a thin wrapper around its plugins' functionality. All the plugins, however, can
: be used as standalone libraries. One of the core principles of libblockdev is
: that it is stateless from the storage configuration's perspective (e.g. it has
: no information about VGs when creating an LV).
