I doubt it. Head over to darwin-dev and ask, and I think you'll be told that you shouldn't be using it. That's even the case for some POSIX-defined APIs, actually, because they rely on specifics that may change even in a minor version update.
The new version of iDefrag includes code to quickly detect whether a file is currently open or not, and to do it we had to write a kext.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
