Efficiently getting the line at point

How do I efficiently get the current line at a given position?

Is line-number-at-pos() the best candidate?
This function in turn calls count-lines().
Why? --- I thought Emacs had an internal O(1) lookup table for the
positions of line beginnings of a buffer or file.

Thanks in advance,
Per Nordlöw
