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).
