disk images.
It can be used to make batch configuration changes to guests, get disk
used/free statistics (virt-df), perform backups and guest clones,
change registry/UUID/hostname info, build guests from scratch
(virt-builder) and much more.
Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of
guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited
to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition
schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.
Libguestfs is split into several subpackages. The basic subpackages are:
libguestfs C library
libguestfs-tools virt-* tools, guestfish and guestmount (FUSE)
libguestfs-tools-c only the subset of virt tools written in C
(for reduced dependencies)
virt-dib safe and secure diskimage-builder replacement
For enhanced features, install:
libguestfs-forensics adds filesystem forensics support
libguestfs-gfs2 adds Global Filesystem (GFS2) support
libguestfs-hfsplus adds HFS+ (Mac filesystem) support
libguestfs-inspect-icons adds support for inspecting guest icons
libguestfs-jfs adds JFS support
libguestfs-nilfs adds NILFS v2 support
libguestfs-reiserfs adds ReiserFS support
libguestfs-rescue enhances virt-rescue shell with more tools
libguestfs-rsync rsync to/from guest filesystems
libguestfs-ufs adds UFS (BSD) support
libguestfs-xfs adds XFS support
libguestfs-zfs adds ZFS support
For developers:
libguestfs-devel C/C++ header files and library
Language bindings:
libguestfs-gobject-devel GObject bindings and GObject Introspection
lua-guestfs Lua bindings
ocaml-libguestfs-devel OCaml bindings
perl-Sys-Guestfs Perl bindings
php-libguestfs PHP bindings
python3-libguestfs Python 3 bindings
ruby-libguestfs Ruby bindings
libguestfs-vala Vala language bindings");
