     getrawpartition(void);

DESCRIPTION
     getrawpartition() returns the partition number ( 'a' == 0, 'b' == 1, ...) of the ``raw'' partition of the system's disks, or -1 in case of an
     error, setting the global errno variable.	The possible values for errno are the same as in sysctl(3).  The ``raw'' partition is defined as
     the partition which provides access to the entire disk, regardless of the disk's partition map.
