Hello,

I am part of a team maintaining an application that uses ipmitool and its 
lanplus interface to monitor several servers.  Ipmitool is invoked via a 
system() call with the command line which include redirection of stdout and 
stderr.  We have significant investment in the parsing of the output that is 
generated but would like to increase the efficiency of the mechanism by 
creating a shared library and calling an API instead of accessing an 
application via forking a process.

My review of available documentation leads me to believe there isn't an API 
available and if we wanted to do this, we would have to modify the source 
ourselves.

Is this correct?

Thanks for your time,
Dick Detweiler
