int lsm_local_disk_link_type_get (const char *disk_path, lsm_disk_link_type *link_type, lsm_error **lsm_err);

disk_path

String. The path of disk, example "/dev/sdb".:

link_type

Output pointer of lsm_disk_link_type.

lsm_err

Output pointer of lsm_error. Error message could be: retrieved via lsm_error_message_get. Memory should be freed by lsm_error_free.
