[parted-devel] using libparted to detect filesystem type

[ben scott]

I would like to use libparted to detect the type of filesystem on a disk. I 
have been looking over the header and doxygen files but can't find a way to 
do it. 

if I know a path, say:  /dev/hdc4  how do I probe it? 

To use "PedFileSystemType* ped_file_system_probe (PedGeometry* geom);" I need 
the PedGeometry. After that I need a PedPartition (I think) and so on but I 
never quite get back to a simple device path. 

Any help for a programming noob would be much appreciated. Thank you.
