zfs discuss - Jul 2009 - Solaris ZFS native API publicly available??

Hi All,

I would like to know whether the ZFS native API for SunOS
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/source/) is publicly available now?
I see in some old mailing lists (2 years old) that they were not publicly
available. Is this still true?
Also I see there is a java API available at
https://zfs.dev.java.net/apidocs/org/jvnet/solaris/libzfs/LibZFS.html & 
https://zfs.dev.java.net/apidocs/org/jvnet/solaris/libzfs/jna/libzfs.html. Is
this a public API that I can rely on?

My requirement is to retrieve the information about ZFS pools like disks,
volumes, snapshots, clones etc. and their status. AFAIK, the CLI commands that
can satisfy my requirement are the "zpool status" & "zfs get
-H". I would like to know whether these commands output can be consistent
across Solaris versions so that I can write a parser to retrieve the required
information? Otherwise please suggest if there is any other better method to
collect the information is available.
