Device File convenience methods

Are there any functions which can take a device name like "disk1" and
determine if it is a whole device, or a partition of a device?

I am pretty sure that I can just assume that:

disk1 - whole device
disk1s0 - partition of device disk1

Right?

But I am wondering if this is standard "trusted" naming conventions (for
storage devices) or if it is possible for them to have other naming
conventions.

Either way, is there a set of functions in Darwin to determine these
properties about device files?
