The library was subsequently heavily modified by Ted Ts'o. + + +The low-level probing code, topology and partitions support was written +by Karel Zak. Currently, the library is mainatned by Karel Zak. + + +The library is part of the util-linux package since version 2.15 and is +available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. + + + + + + + High-level + + + + + + Low-level + + + + + + + + + Common utils + + + + + + API Index + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
