In C?

Maybe what you are looking for is something like fdisk -l as xcore said. May be you should just run mount to see the mounted filesystems details.

I have to use partitions tables to see witch partitions are on disk. So i can't use fdisk -l.

Sounds like a homework question - see the forum rules.

fdisk -l gives all partitions on all disks

The simple command: "fdisk -l" show all disk and partition informations for all disk available on you system, partitioned/formated or not (if RH or Fedora Core 5, where I was tested).

But it's not very true for debian 3.1.r1 (kernel 2.4.27-386). you must use: "fdisk -l /dev/hda1" for example to obtain informations.

Maybe this is because of version of the fdisk.
