how to get the size of a disk partition from user space?

["Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  possibly slightly off-topic, but i've been handed (not at hand at
the moment, though) an embedded system running 2.4.26, which has a
bunch of flash-based partitions corresponding to the device files
/dev/scsi/host-?/bus0/target0/lun0/part-?.

  what i want is a quick way to determine the size in bytes of those
partitions.  will there be entries for them in /proc/partitions?  is
there a better way?  they won't necessarily be mounted; in fact, they
probably won't be.  thoughts?  thanks.
