Some embodiments of a system and a method to provide comprehensive application programming interfaces to a logical volume manager have been presented. For instance, a processing device running on a server may provide a library having a set of application programming interfaces to interface an application and a logical volume manager (LVM). In response to an error occurring while running the application in operation with the LVM, the processing device may return an error string in a natural language, a piece of programming code associated with the error, and an error code associated with the error using one or more of the set of application programming interfaces.
