    I was wondering if there is a C API for the command prtconf, more specifically for "prtconf -L", so I wouldn't need to use "popen" to get the output I need.

    Thanks,

    Laurent

    prtconf is a shell script. It just runs a load of other command line tools and formats the output.

    uname -L is the command it uses to get the LPAR info
