I think that having an API for backup functionality would definitely be useful.
Just my 2 cents...

Hello,
We have to take a backup of database and we know the pg_dump utility of postgresql.
But may I know, is there any API for this pg_dump utility so that we can call it from the C program? Or only script support is possible for this.
I think script support is bit risky because if anything

It probably wouldn't be terribly difficult to put the guts of pg_dump
