* Package name : libguestfs Version : 1.0.31 Upstream Author : Richard W.M. Jones <[email protected]> * URL : http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/ * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C, Shell script, various others Description : library for accessing and modifying guest disk images (Copied from the website, which best summarises this ...) libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration changes to guests, viewing and editing files inside guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also: virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and much else besides. 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 provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions, LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.). It can also run commands in the context of the guest. Also you can upload and download files and directories. libguestfs is a library that can be linked with C and C++ management programs (or management programs written in OCaml, Perl, Python, Ruby, Java or Haskell). You can also use it from shell scripts or the command line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
