Houdy everyone!
yes I'm a newbie here
I'm a big fan of the BSD's, in particular NetBSD. Don't have much use for Linux or the various "distro's" of it ( no flame intended ). I'm going to try Solaris 10 on an i386 box real soon.

media_getid(3VOLMGT) Volume Management Library Functions media_getid(3VOLMGT)NAME
media_getid - return the id of a piece of media
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file ...-lvolgmt [library ...]
#include <volmgt.h>
ulonglong_t media_getid(char *vol_path);
DESCRIPTION
media_getid() returns the id of a piece of media. Volume Management must be running. See volmgt_running(3VOLMGT).
PARAMETERS
vol_path Path to the block or character special device.
RETURN VALUES
media_getid() returns the id of the volume. This value is unique for each volume. If media_getid() returns 0, the path provided is not
valid, for example, it is a block or char device.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using media_getid()
The following example first checks if Volume Management is running, then checks the volume management name space for path, and then returns
the id for the piece of media.
char *path;
...
if (volmgt_running()) {
if (volmgt_ownspath(path)) {
(void) printf("id of %s is %lld
",
path, media_getid(path));
}
}
If a program using media_getid() does not check whether or not Volume Management is running, then any NULL return value will be ambiguous,
as it could mean that either Volume Management does not have path in its name space, or Volume Management is not running.
