=head1 NAME

Linux::LVM - Perl extension for accessing Logical Volume Manager(LVM)
             data structures on Linux.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Linux::LVM;
  Linux::LVM->units('G'); 

=head1 ABSTRACT

  The live data used in the examples is included in the DESCRIPTION area
  for your convenience and reference.
  
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 
  units()  Get or set the units used to report sizes of LVs, PVs, etc.
           legal values: hbskmgtpeHBSKMGTPE
           see man lvm documentation of --units
 
  get_volume_group_list()	This routine will return an array that
				contains the names of the volume groups.

  @vgs = get_volume_group_list(); print "@vgs \n"; 
  Would yield the following: vg00
   
    
  get_volume_group_information($)	This routine will return all of
					the volume group information about
					the specified volume group.

  %vg = get_volume_group_information("vg00");
  foreach(sort keys %vg) {
     print "$_ = $vg{$_}\n";
  }
  Would yield the following:
