Getting back to your actual question, my answer is more along the lines of what Brendan Shanks wrote. Last I checked there was no public API for this, but the details are in the Darwin source.

I must admit didn't think Brendan's suggestion would be helpful because I assumed that fsck can only work on unmounted volumes (I'm sure that was the case at one point in the past), and that DFA would take its own steps to flush and freeze the boot volume before running fsck on it.
