Officially there isn't any unless your code is part of the ON consolidation of OpenSolaris and/or has an ARC[1] contract for use of the interfaces. That is because these are considered private interfaces. Note that private here has nothing to do with wither or not they are open source or not it doesn't mean hidden. Unofficially grab the header files from the ON consolidation of OpenSolaris and build way. However be aware that the interfaces in those libraries can and will change without you being warned about it. [1] http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/ -- Darren J Moffat
