Heh, that's what I was trying to avoid, I need to parse the output to the get
the name of which loop device was assigned and then call a command like:

# blkid /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: UUID="607ed7ce-3fad-4236-8faf-8ab744f23e01" TYPE="ext3"

Running simple commands with "system" seems okay but parsing output
is a bit too much :)

I read about:

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man4/loop.4.html

But I still need to create a backing file, format it and then get the UUID.

Any simple trick that I may be missing?
