Listing Hard Drives programmatically.

[timmu_india]

Am doing a simple partition imaging program. Am using libparted for partition things. Before that I want to list the available hard disks (/dev names) attached to the PC Programmatically. Please help. Thanks in advance.

You need to read on libparted API.

I've found following documentation at www .gnu.org/software/parted/api/group__PedDevice.html#_details

When ped_device_probe_all() is called, libparted attempts to detect all devices. It constructs a list which can be accessed with ped_device_get_next().

If you want to use a device that isn't on the list, use ped_device_get().
