/*************************** Design Overview ********************************/

/**
 * \mainpage LVM library API
 *
 * The API is designed around the following basic LVM objects:
 * 1) Physical Volume (pv_t) 2) Volume Group (vg_t) 3) Logical Volume (lv_t).
 *
 * The library provides functions to list the objects in a system,
 * get and set object properties (such as names, UUIDs, and sizes), as well
 * as create/remove objects and perform more complex operations and
 * transformations. Each object instance is represented by a handle, and
 * handles are passed to and from the functions to perform the operations.
 *
 * A central object in the library is the Volume Group, represented by the
 * VG handle, vg_t. Performing an operation on a PV or LV object first
 * requires obtaining a VG handle. Once the vg_t has been obtained, it can
 * be used to enumerate the pv_t and lv_t objects within that vg_t. Attributes
 * of these objects can then be queried or changed.
 *
 * A volume group handle may be obtained with read or write permission.
 * Any attempt to change a property of a pv_t, vg_t, or lv_t without
 * obtaining write permission on the vg_t will fail with EPERM.
 *
 * An application first opening a VG read-only, then later wanting to change
 * a property of an object must first close the VG and re-open with write
 * permission. Currently liblvm provides no mechanism to determine whether
 * the VG has changed on-disk in between these operations - this is the
 * application's responsiblity. One way the application can ensure the VG
 * has not changed is to save the "vg_seqno" field after opening the VG with
 * READ permission. If the application later needs to modify the VG, it can
 * close the VG and re-open with WRITE permission. It should then check
 * whether the original "vg_seqno" obtained with READ permission matches
 * the new one obtained with WRITE permission.
 */

/**
 * Retrieve the library version.
 *
 * The library version is the same format as the full LVM version.
 * The format is as follows:
 *    LVM_MAJOR.LVM_MINOR.LVM_PATCHLEVEL(LVM_LIBAPI)[-LVM_RELEASE]
 * An application wishing to determine compatibility with a particular version
 * of the library should check at least the LVM_MAJOR, LVM_MINOR, and
 * LVM_LIBAPI numbers.  For example, assume the full LVM version is
 * 2.02.50(1)-1.  The application should verify the "2.02" and the "(1)".
 *
 * \return  A string describing the library version.

 * compatibility in any significant way, the LVM_LIBAPI number (included in
 * the library's soname) will be incremented.
