Hello All,

Tried the search for this to no avail.

I am writing a Perl application that must report disks and partitions on Solaris 8, 9, and 10.  I am familiar with the 'format' command and it provides all the info I need.  However, it expects someone to interact with it to move through the menus.

The same application runs on Linux, also, and there, I can easily use 'fdisk -l' to get exactly what I need (list of disks and partitions there on).

Is there a more direct route to this info than via 'format?'  

I hate having to maneuver through the format command just to get a reporting of disks/partitions when an incorrect move can trash the machine.  There must be a safer approach.

TIA.

'hope this helps
