you can use pvdisplay to see if the disk is in use by LVM.

If you want to use C, check out pstat(2):

$man pstat

Thanks for you quick response.
I have already try to use pstat_getlv but this function doesn't get names of disk or i need to have them.
Do you known another function on pstat() that return names of disk.
