Thanks for your reply.

I am looking for stable/supported interface for configuring and monitoring IPMP 
groups from C/C++ program.
Looks like I will have to move towards CLI interface.

Thanks all for help.

Thanks and Regards,
Paresh Bafna

As Jim said, this is a private/unstable library.  If you write code that
uses it, the only guarantee is that your code will break in the future :-)

As an aside: libipmp does not configure IPMP.  For S11 FCS, that
functionality lives mostly in another private/unstable library (libipadm).
Further, the programmatic mechanism used to configure IPMP is also subject
to change at any time.  The only stable configuration mechanisms are the
command-line utilities.  For monitoring, tracking the IFF_* flags is
stable and will cover the basics; beyond that you'd need to use ipmpstat's
parsable mode.

Hope this helps,
