dtrace discuss - Apr 2009 - Dtrace API (libdtrace?)

Is there any document saying how to use the Dtrace API (e.g. as used by 
lockstat)?

I am looking to produce program of my own for which I want to fetch data 
connected by Dtrace.

I know it''s not a committed interface.

Andrew,

As I understand it, the direct calls to routines in libdtrace.so are
considered unstable and not for public consumption.  However, there is
an approved Java API, and a person who has documented libdtrace.so so
that others can use it.  (He documented it for use with TCL, but I think
it applies to C.)

Java:

C/TCL:
