getrawpartition(void);
DESCRIPTION
getrawpartition()
returns the partition number ( ‘a’ == 0, ‘b’ == 1,
...) of the “raw” partition of the system's disks, or -1 in case
of an error, setting the global errno variable. The
possible values for errno are the same as in
sysctl(3). The “raw” partition is defined as the
partition which provides access to the entire disk, regardless of the disk's
partition map.
