Zfs::zpool.cache file

Hi All,
I am trying to read zpool.cache file to find out pool information like pool name, devices it uses and all properties.
File seems to be in packed format.I am not sure how to unpack it.
But from opensolaris code base we can see that they have used libz for uncompromising this file, but same thing is not working on solaris 10.
Could these be any difference between compression format between open-solaris and solaris-10
Could any one help me with thisSmilie
