The libzfs API will be made public at some point. However, we need to finish implementing the bulk of our planned features before we can feel comfortable with the interfaces. It will take a non-trivial amount of work to clean up all the interfaces as well as document them. It will be done eventually, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon - there are simply too many important things to get done first. If you don't care about unstable interfaces, you're welcome to use them as-is. If you want a stable interface, you are correct that the only way is through invoking 'zfs get' and 'zfs set'. - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
