Does anyone know of a more direct way to access lvar information
without using system admin commands such as vparstatus e.g. something
like ioctl.

I am programming support for lvars and need to access partition names
etc to create unique ids.

Any help gratefull received, thanks.

Sorry, I had acronym dyslexia and actually meant vpar...

I am stuck with running something like:

vparstatus -w -M > /tmp/vparid 2> /dev/null

and then reading the results as a text file.
This seems a bit cumbersome.

I don't think there is any API (ioctl/syscall) for users to
directly interact with VPAR.

Thanks for the reply.
In my App this bit gets called alot so I guess I will have to cache the
function to make it more efficient.
