Description-en: Library for manipulating block devices
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).
