ОПИС

       Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying disk images and virtual machines.
       This manual page documents the C API.

       If you are looking for an introduction to libguestfs, see the web site:
       http://libguestfs.org/

       Each virt tool has its own man page (for a full list, go to "SEE ALSO" at the end of this
       file).

       The libguestfs FAQ contains many useful answers: guestfs-faq(1).

       For examples of using the API from C, see guestfs-examples(3).  For examples in other
       languages, see "USING LIBGUESTFS WITH OTHER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES" below.

       For tips and recipes, see guestfs-recipes(1).

ОГЛЯД API

       This section provides a gentler overview of the libguestfs API.  We also try to group API
       calls together, where that may not be obvious from reading about the individual calls in
       the main section of this manual.

   ОБРОБНИКИ
       Before you can use libguestfs calls, you have to create a handle.  Then you must add at
       least one disk image to the handle, followed by launching the handle, then performing
       whatever operations you want, and finally closing the handle.  By convention we use the
       single letter "g" for the name of the handle variable, although of course you can use any
       name you want.

       The general structure of all libguestfs-using programs looks like this:

        guestfs_h *g = guestfs_create ();

        /* Call guestfs_add_drive additional times if there are
         * multiple disk images.
         */
        guestfs_add_drive (g, "guest.img");

        /* Most manipulation calls won't work until you've launched
         * the handle 'g'.  You have to do this _after_ adding drives
         * and _before_ other commands.
         */
        guestfs_launch (g);

        /* Either: examine what partitions, LVs etc are available: */
        char **partitions = guestfs_list_partitions (g);
        char **logvols = guestfs_lvs (g);

        /* Or: ask libguestfs to find filesystems for you: */
        char **filesystems = guestfs_list_filesystems (g);

        /* Or: use inspection (see INSPECTION section below). */

        /* To access a filesystem in the image, you must mount it. */
        guestfs_mount (g, "/dev/sda1", "/");

        /* Тепер ви можете виконувати дії з файловою системою на
         * образі диска операційної системи.
         */
        guestfs_touch (g, "/hello");

        /* Synchronize the disk.  This is the opposite of guestfs_launch. */
        guestfs_shutdown (g);

        /* Close and free the handle 'g'. */
        guestfs_close (g);

       The code above doesn't include any error checking.  In real code you should check return
       values carefully for errors.  In general all functions that return integers return "-1" on
       error, and all functions that return pointers return "NULL" on error.  See section "ERROR
       HANDLING" below for how to handle errors, and consult the documentation for each function
       call below to see precisely how they return error indications.  See guestfs-examples(3)
       for fully worked examples.

   ОБРАЗИ ДИСКІВ
       The image filename ("guest.img" in the example above) could be a disk image from a virtual
       machine, a dd(1) copy of a physical hard disk, an actual block device, or simply an empty
       file of zeroes that you have created through posix_fallocate(3).  Libguestfs lets you do
       useful things to all of these.

       The call you should use in modern code for adding drives is "guestfs_add_drive_opts".  To
       add a disk image, allowing writes, and specifying that the format is raw, do:

        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                -1);

       Ви можете додати диск у режимі лише читання:

        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY, 1,
                                -1);

       or by calling the older function "guestfs_add_drive_ro".  If you use the readonly flag,
       libguestfs won't modify the file.  (See also "DISK IMAGE FORMATS" below).

       Be extremely cautious if the disk image is in use, eg. if it is being used by a virtual
       machine.  Adding it read-write will almost certainly cause disk corruption, but adding it
       read-only is safe.

       You should usually add at least one disk image, and you may add multiple disk images.  If
       adding multiple disk images, they usually have to be "related", ie. from the same guest.
       In the API, the disk images are usually referred to as "/dev/sda" (for the first one you
       added), "/dev/sdb" (for the second one you added), etc.

       Once "guestfs_launch" has been called you cannot add any more images.  You can call
       "guestfs_list_devices" to get a list of the device names, in the order that you added
       them.  See also "BLOCK DEVICE NAMING" below.

       There are slightly different rules when hotplugging disks (in libguestfs ≥ 1.20).  See
       "HOTPLUGGING" below.

   МОНТУВАННЯ
       Before you can read or write files, create directories and so on in a disk image that
       contains filesystems, you have to mount those filesystems using "guestfs_mount" or
       "guestfs_mount_ro".  If you already know that a disk image contains (for example) one
       partition with a filesystem on that partition, then you can mount it directly:

        guestfs_mount (g, "/dev/sda1", "/");

       where "/dev/sda1" means literally the first partition (1) of the first disk image that we
       added ("/dev/sda").  If the disk contains Linux LVM2 logical volumes you could refer to
       those instead (eg. "/dev/VG/LV").  Note that these are libguestfs virtual devices, and are
       nothing to do with host devices.

       If you are given a disk image and you don't know what it contains then you have to find
       out.  Libguestfs can do that too: use "guestfs_list_partitions" and "guestfs_lvs" to list
       possible partitions and LVs, and either try mounting each to see what is mountable, or
       else examine them with "guestfs_vfs_type" or "guestfs_file".  To list just filesystems,
       use "guestfs_list_filesystems".

       Libguestfs also has a set of APIs for inspection of unknown disk images (see "INSPECTION"
       below).  You might also want to look at higher level programs built on top of libguestfs,
       in particular virt-inspector(1).

       To mount a filesystem read-only, use "guestfs_mount_ro".  There are several other
       variations of the "guestfs_mount_*" call.

   ДОСТУП ТА ВНЕСЕННЯ ЗМІН ДО ФАЙЛОВИХ СИСТЕМ
       The majority of the libguestfs API consists of fairly low-level calls for accessing and
       modifying the files, directories, symlinks etc on mounted filesystems.  There are over a
       hundred such calls which you can find listed in detail below in this man page, and we
       don't even pretend to cover them all in this overview.

       Вказуйте адреси і назви файлів повністю, починаючи з "/", разом з точкою монтування.

       Наприклад, якщо вами змонтовано файлову систему до "/", і ви бажаєте виконати читання
       файла з назвою "etc/passwd", ви можете скористатися таким кодом:

        char *data = guestfs_cat (g, "/etc/passwd");

       This would return "data" as a newly allocated buffer containing the full content of that
       file (with some conditions: see also "DOWNLOADING" below), or "NULL" if there was an
       error.

       As another example, to create a top-level directory on that filesystem called "var" you
       would do:

        guestfs_mkdir (g, "/var");

       Щоб створити символічне посилання, ви можете скористатися таким кодом:

        guestfs_ln_s (g, "/etc/init.d/portmap",
                      "/etc/rc3.d/S30portmap");

       Libguestfs will reject attempts to use relative paths and there is no concept of a current
       working directory.

       Libguestfs can return errors in many situations: for example if the filesystem isn't
       writable, or if a file or directory that you requested doesn't exist.  If you are using
       the C API (documented here)  you have to check for those error conditions after each call.
       (Other language bindings turn these errors into exceptions).

       File writes are affected by the per-handle umask, set by calling "guestfs_umask" and
       defaulting to 022.  See "UMASK".

       Since libguestfs 1.18, it is possible to mount the libguestfs filesystem on a local
       directory, subject to some restrictions.  See "MOUNT LOCAL" below.

   ПОДІЛ НА РОЗДІЛИ
       Libguestfs contains API calls to read, create and modify partition tables on disk images.

       In the common case where you want to create a single partition covering the whole disk,
       you should use the "guestfs_part_disk" call:

        const char *parttype = "mbr";
        if (disk_is_larger_than_2TB)
          parttype = "gpt";
        guestfs_part_disk (g, "/dev/sda", parttype);

       Obviously this effectively wipes anything that was on that disk image before.

   LVM2
       Libguestfs provides access to a large part of the LVM2 API, such as "guestfs_lvcreate" and
       "guestfs_vgremove".  It won't make much sense unless you familiarize yourself with the
       concepts of physical volumes, volume groups and logical volumes.

       This author strongly recommends reading the LVM HOWTO, online at
       http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/.

   ОТРИМАННЯ ДАНИХ
       Use "guestfs_cat" to download small, text only files.  This call cannot handle files
       containing any ASCII NUL ("\0") characters.  However the API is very simple to use.

       "guestfs_read_file" can be used to read files which contain arbitrary 8 bit data, since it
       returns a (pointer, size) pair.

       "guestfs_download" can be used to download any file, with no limits on content or size.

       To download multiple files, see "guestfs_tar_out" and "guestfs_tgz_out".

   ВИВАНТАЖЕННЯ
       To write a small file with fixed content, use "guestfs_write".  To create a file of all
       zeroes, use "guestfs_truncate_size" (sparse) or "guestfs_fallocate64" (with all disk
       blocks allocated).  There are a variety of other functions for creating test files, for
       example "guestfs_fill" and "guestfs_fill_pattern".

       To upload a single file, use "guestfs_upload".  This call has no limits on file content or
       size.

       To upload multiple files, see "guestfs_tar_in" and "guestfs_tgz_in".

       However the fastest way to upload large numbers of arbitrary files is to turn them into a
       squashfs or CD ISO (see mksquashfs(8) and mkisofs(8)), then attach this using
       "guestfs_add_drive_ro".  If you add the drive in a predictable way (eg. adding it last
       after all other drives) then you can get the device name from "guestfs_list_devices" and
       mount it directly using "guestfs_mount_ro".  Note that squashfs images are sometimes non-
       portable between kernel versions, and they don't support labels or UUIDs.  If you want to
       pre-build an image or you need to mount it using a label or UUID, use an ISO image
       instead.

   КОПІЮВАННЯ
       There are various different commands for copying between files and devices and in and out
       of the guest filesystem.  These are summarised in the table below.

       файл у файл
           Use "guestfs_cp" to copy a single file, or "guestfs_cp_a" to copy directories
           recursively.

           To copy part of a file (offset and size) use "guestfs_copy_file_to_file".

       файл на пристрій
       пристрій до файла
       пристрій на пристрій
           Use "guestfs_copy_file_to_device", "guestfs_copy_device_to_file", or
           "guestfs_copy_device_to_device".

           Example: duplicate the contents of an LV:

            guestfs_copy_device_to_device (g,
                    "/dev/VG/Original", "/dev/VG/Copy",
                    /* -1 marks the end of the list of optional parameters */
                    -1);

           The destination ("/dev/VG/Copy") must be at least as large as the source
           ("/dev/VG/Original").  To copy less than the whole source device, use the optional
           "size" parameter:

            guestfs_copy_device_to_device (g,
                    "/dev/VG/Original", "/dev/VG/Copy",
                    GUESTFS_COPY_DEVICE_TO_DEVICE_SIZE, 10000,
                    -1);

       файл на вузлі на файл або пристрій
           Use "guestfs_upload".  See "UPLOADING" above.

       файл або пристрій у файл на вузлі
           Use "guestfs_download".  See "DOWNLOADING" above.

   UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING TO PIPES AND FILE DESCRIPTORS
       Calls like "guestfs_upload", "guestfs_download", "guestfs_tar_in", "guestfs_tar_out" etc
       appear to only take filenames as arguments, so it appears you can only upload and download
       to files.  However many Un*x-like hosts let you use the special device files "/dev/stdin",
       "/dev/stdout", "/dev/stderr" and "/dev/fd/N" to read and write from stdin, stdout, stderr,
       and arbitrary file descriptor N.

       For example, virt-cat(1) writes its output to stdout by doing:

        guestfs_download (g, filename, "/dev/stdout");

       and you can write tar output to a file descriptor "fd" by doing:

        char devfd[64];
        snprintf (devfd, sizeof devfd, "/dev/fd/%d", fd);
        guestfs_tar_out (g, "/", devfd);

   СПИСКИ ФАЙЛІВ
       "guestfs_ll" is just designed for humans to read (mainly when using the
       guestfish(1)-equivalent command "ll").

       "guestfs_ls" is a quick way to get a list of files in a directory from programs, as a flat
       list of strings.

       "guestfs_readdir" is a programmatic way to get a list of files in a directory, plus
       additional information about each one.  It is more equivalent to using the readdir(3) call
       on a local filesystem.

       "guestfs_find" and "guestfs_find0" can be used to recursively list files.

   ВИКОНАННЯ КОМАНД
       Although libguestfs is primarily an API for manipulating files inside guest images, we
       also provide some limited facilities for running commands inside guests.

       There are many limitations to this:

       •   The kernel version that the command runs under will be different from what it expects.

       •   If the command needs to communicate with daemons, then most likely they won't be
           running.

       •   The command will be running in limited memory.

       •   The network may not be available unless you enable it (see "guestfs_set_network").

       •   Only supports Linux guests (not Windows, BSD, etc).

       •   Architecture limitations (eg. won't work for a PPC guest on an X86 host).

       •   For SELinux guests, you may need to enable SELinux and load policy first.  See
           "SELINUX" in this manpage.

       •   Security: It is not safe to run commands from untrusted, possibly malicious guests.
           These commands may attempt to exploit your program by sending unexpected output.  They
           could also try to exploit the Linux kernel or qemu provided by the libguestfs
           appliance.  They could use the network provided by the libguestfs appliance to bypass
           ordinary network partitions and firewalls.  They could use the elevated privileges or
           different SELinux context of your program to their advantage.

           A secure alternative is to use libguestfs to install a "firstboot" script (a script
           which runs when the guest next boots normally), and to have this script run the
           commands you want in the normal context of the running guest, network security and so
           on.  For information about other security issues, see "SECURITY".

       The two main API calls to run commands are "guestfs_command" and "guestfs_sh" (there are
       also variations).

       The difference is that "guestfs_sh" runs commands using the shell, so any shell globs,
       redirections, etc will work.

   ФАЙЛИ НАЛАШТУВАННЯ
       To read and write configuration files in Linux guest filesystems, we strongly recommend
       using Augeas.  For example, Augeas understands how to read and write, say, a Linux shadow
       password file or X.org configuration file, and so avoids you having to write that code.

       The main Augeas calls are bound through the "guestfs_aug_*" APIs.  We don't document
       Augeas itself here because there is excellent documentation on the http://augeas.net/
       website.

       If you don't want to use Augeas (you fool!) then try calling "guestfs_read_lines" to get
       the file as a list of lines which you can iterate over.

   SYSTEMD JOURNAL FILES
       To read the systemd journal from a Linux guest, use the "guestfs_journal_*" APIs starting
       with "guestfs_journal_open".

       Consult the journal documentation here: sd-journal(3), sd_journal_open(3).

   SELINUX
       We support SELinux guests.  To ensure that labeling happens correctly in SELinux guests,
       you need to enable SELinux and load the guest's policy:

       1.  Before launching, do:

            guestfs_set_selinux (g, 1);

       2.  After mounting the guest's filesystem(s), load the policy.  This is best done by
           running the load_policy(8) command in the guest itself:

            guestfs_sh (g, "/usr/sbin/load_policy");

           (Older versions of "load_policy" require you to specify the name of the policy file).

       3.  Optionally, set the security context for the API.  The correct security context to use
           can only be known by inspecting the guest.  As an example:

            guestfs_setcon (g, "unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0");

       This will work for running commands and editing existing files.

       When new files are created, you may need to label them explicitly, for example by running
       the external command "restorecon pathname".

   UMASK
       Certain calls are affected by the current file mode creation mask (the "umask").  In
       particular ones which create files or directories, such as "guestfs_touch",
       "guestfs_mknod" or "guestfs_mkdir".  This affects either the default mode that the file is
       created with or modifies the mode that you supply.

       The default umask is 022, so files are created with modes such as 0644 and directories
       with 0755.

       There are two ways to avoid being affected by umask.  Either set umask to 0 (call
       "guestfs_umask (g, 0)" early after launching).  Or call "guestfs_chmod" after creating
       each file or directory.

       For more information about umask, see umask(2).

   LABELS AND UUIDS
       Many filesystems, devices and logical volumes support either labels (short strings like
       "BOOT" which might not be unique) and/or UUIDs (globally unique IDs).

       For filesystems, use "guestfs_vfs_label" or "guestfs_vfs_uuid" to read the label or UUID.
       Some filesystems let you call "guestfs_set_label" or "guestfs_set_uuid" to change the
       label or UUID.

       You can locate a filesystem by its label or UUID using "guestfs_findfs_label" or
       "guestfs_findfs_uuid".

       For LVM2 (which supports only UUIDs), there is a rich set of APIs for fetching UUIDs,
       fetching UUIDs of the contained objects, and changing UUIDs.  See: "guestfs_lvuuid",
       "guestfs_vguuid", "guestfs_pvuuid", "guestfs_vglvuuids", "guestfs_vgpvuuids",
       "guestfs_vgchange_uuid", "guestfs_vgchange_uuid_all", "guestfs_pvchange_uuid",
       "guestfs_pvchange_uuid_all".

       Note when cloning a filesystem, device or whole guest, it is a good idea to set new
       randomly generated UUIDs on the copy.

   ЗАШИФРОВАНІ ДИСКИ
       Libguestfs allows you to access Linux guests which have been encrypted using whole disk
       encryption that conforms to the Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) standard.  This includes
       nearly all whole disk encryption systems used by modern Linux guests.

       Use "guestfs_vfs_type" to identify LUKS-encrypted block devices (it returns the string
       "crypto_LUKS").

       Then open these devices by calling "guestfs_luks_open".  Obviously you will require the
       passphrase!

       Opening a LUKS device creates a new device mapper device called "/dev/mapper/mapname"
       (where "mapname" is the string you supply to "guestfs_luks_open").  Reads and writes to
       this mapper device are decrypted from and encrypted to the underlying block device
       respectively.

       LVM volume groups on the device can be made visible by calling "guestfs_vgscan" followed
       by "guestfs_vg_activate_all".  The logical volume(s) can now be mounted in the usual way.

       Use the reverse process to close a LUKS device.  Unmount any logical volumes on it,
       deactivate the volume groups by caling "guestfs_vg_activate (g, 0, ["/dev/VG"])".  Then
       close the mapper device by calling "guestfs_luks_close" on the "/dev/mapper/mapname"
       device (not the underlying encrypted block device).

   MOUNT LOCAL
       In libguestfs ≥ 1.18, it is possible to mount the libguestfs filesystem on a local
       directory and access it using ordinary POSIX calls and programs.

       Availability of this is subject to a number of restrictions: it requires FUSE (the
       Filesystem in USErspace), and libfuse must also have been available when libguestfs was
       compiled.  FUSE may require that a kernel module is loaded, and it may be necessary to add
       the current user to a special "fuse" group.  See the documentation for your distribution
       and http://fuse.sf.net for further information.

       The call to mount the libguestfs filesystem on a local directory is "guestfs_mount_local"
       (q.v.) followed by "guestfs_mount_local_run".  The latter does not return until you
       unmount the filesystem.  The reason is that the call enters the FUSE main loop and
       processes kernel requests, turning them into libguestfs calls.  An alternative design
       would have been to create a background thread to do this, but libguestfs doesn't require
       pthreads.  This way is also more flexible: for example the user can create another thread
       for "guestfs_mount_local_run".

       "guestfs_mount_local" needs a certain amount of time to set up the mountpoint.  The
       mountpoint is not ready to use until the call returns.  At this point, accesses to the
       filesystem will block until the main loop is entered (ie. "guestfs_mount_local_run").  So
       if you need to start another process to access the filesystem, put the fork between
       "guestfs_mount_local" and "guestfs_mount_local_run".

       MOUNT LOCAL COMPATIBILITY

       Since local mounting was only added in libguestfs 1.18, and may not be available even in
       these builds, you should consider writing code so that it doesn't depend on this feature,
       and can fall back to using libguestfs file system calls.

       If libguestfs was compiled without support for "guestfs_mount_local" then calling it will
       return an error with errno set to "ENOTSUP" (see "guestfs_last_errno").

       MOUNT LOCAL PERFORMANCE

       Libguestfs on top of FUSE performs quite poorly.  For best performance do not use it.  Use
       ordinary libguestfs filesystem calls, upload, download etc. instead.

   HOTPLUGGING
       In libguestfs ≥ 1.20, you may add drives and remove after calling "guestfs_launch".  There
       are some restrictions, see below.  This is called hotplugging.

       Only a subset of the backends support hotplugging (currently only the libvirt backend has
       support).  It also requires that you use libvirt ≥ 0.10.3 and qemu ≥ 1.2.

       To hot-add a disk, simply call "guestfs_add_drive_opts" after "guestfs_launch".  It is
       mandatory to specify the "label" parameter so that the newly added disk has a predictable
       name.  For example:

        if (guestfs_launch (g) == -1)
          error ("launch failed");

        if (guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
                                    GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_LABEL, "newdisk",
                                    -1) == -1)
          error ("hot-add of disk failed");

        if (guestfs_part_disk ("/dev/disk/guestfs/newdisk", "mbr") == -1)
          error ("partitioning of hot-added disk failed");

       To hot-remove a disk, call "guestfs_remove_drive".  You can call this before or after
       "guestfs_launch".  You can only remove disks that were previously added with a label.

       Backends that support hotplugging do not require that you add ≥ 1 disk before calling
       launch.  When hotplugging is supported you don't need to add any disks.

   REMOTE STORAGE
       CEPH

       Libguestfs can access Ceph (librbd/RBD) disks.

       To do this, set the optional "protocol" and "server" parameters of
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" like this:

        char **servers = { "ceph1.example.org:3000", /* ... */, NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "/pool/image",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "rbd",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, servers,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_USERNAME, "rbduser",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SECRET, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==",
                                -1);

       "servers" (the "server" parameter) is a list of one or more Ceph servers.  The server
       string is documented in "guestfs_add_drive_opts". The "username" and "secret" parameters
       are also optional, and if not given, then no authentication will be used.

       FTP, HTTP ТА TFTP

       Libguestfs can access remote disks over FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS or TFTP protocols.

       To do this, set the optional "protocol" and "server" parameters of
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" like this:

        char **servers = { "www.example.org", NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "/disk.img",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "http",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, servers,
                                -1);

       The "protocol" can be one of "ftp", "ftps", "http", "https" or "tftp".

       "servers" (the "server" parameter) is a list which must have a single element.  The single
       element is a string defining the web, FTP or TFTP server.  The format of this string is
       documented in "guestfs_add_drive_opts".

       GLUSTER

       Libguestfs can access Gluster disks.

       To do this, set the optional "protocol" and "server" parameters of
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" like this:

        char **servers = { "gluster.example.org:24007", NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "/volname/image",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "gluster",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, servers,
                                -1);

       "servers" (the "server" parameter) is a list which must have a single element.  The single
       element is a string defining the Gluster server.  The format of this string is documented
       in "guestfs_add_drive_opts".

       Note that gluster usually requires the client process (ie. libguestfs)  to run as root and
       will give unfathomable errors if it is not (eg. "No data available").

       ISCSI

       Libguestfs can access iSCSI disks remotely.

       To do this, set the optional "protocol" and "server" parameters like this:

        char **server = { "iscsi.example.org:3000", NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "/target-iqn-name/lun",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "iscsi",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, server,
                                -1);

       The "server" parameter is a list which must have a single element.  The single element is
       a string defining the iSCSI server.  The format of this string is documented in
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts".

       NETWORK BLOCK DEVICE

       Libguestfs can access Network Block Device (NBD) disks remotely.

       To do this, set the optional "protocol" and "server" parameters of
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" like this:

        char **server = { "nbd.example.org:3000", NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "" /* export name - see below */,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "nbd",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, server,
                                -1);

       Нотатки:

       •   "server" is in fact a list of servers.  For NBD you must always supply a list with a
           single element.  (Other remote protocols require zero or more than one server, hence
           the requirement for this parameter to be a list).

       •   The "server" string is documented in "guestfs_add_drive_opts".  To connect to a local
           qemu-nbd instance over a Unix domain socket, use "unix:/path/to/socket".

       •   The "filename" parameter is the NBD export name.  Use an empty string to mean the
           default export.  Many NBD servers, including qemu-nbd, do not support export names.

       •   If using qemu-nbd as your server, you should always specify the "-t" option.  The
           reason is that libguestfs may open several connections to the server.

       •   The libvirt backend requires that you set the "format" parameter of
           "guestfs_add_drive_opts" accurately when you use writable NBD disks.

       •   The libvirt backend has a bug that stops Unix domain socket connections from working:
           https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922888

       •   The direct backend does not support readonly connections because of a bug in qemu:
           https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1155677

       SHEEPDOG

       Libguestfs can access Sheepdog disks.

       To do this, set the optional "protocol" and "server" parameters of
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" like this:

        char **servers = { /* optional servers ... */ NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "/volume",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "sheepdog",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, servers,
                                -1);

       The optional list of "servers" may be zero or more server addresses ("hostname:port").
       The format of the server strings is documented in "guestfs_add_drive_opts".

       SSH

       Libguestfs can access disks over a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.

       To do this, set the "protocol" and "server" and (optionally)  "username" parameters of
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" like this:

        char **server = { "remote.example.com", NULL };
        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "/path/to/disk.img",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "ssh",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SERVER, server,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_USERNAME, "remoteuser",
                                -1);

       The format of the server string is documented in "guestfs_add_drive_opts".

   ПЕРЕВІРКА
       Libguestfs has APIs for inspecting an unknown disk image to find out if it contains
       operating systems, an install CD or a live CD.

       Add all disks belonging to the unknown virtual machine and call "guestfs_launch" in the
       usual way.

       Then call "guestfs_inspect_os".  This function uses other libguestfs calls and certain
       heuristics, and returns a list of operating systems that were found.  An empty list means
       none were found.  A single element is the root filesystem of the operating system.  For
       dual- or multi-boot guests, multiple roots can be returned, each one corresponding to a
       separate operating system.  (Multi-boot virtual machines are extremely rare in the world
       of virtualization, but since this scenario can happen, we have built libguestfs to deal
       with it.)

       For each root, you can then call various "guestfs_inspect_get_*" functions to get
       additional details about that operating system.  For example, call
       "guestfs_inspect_get_type" to return the string "windows" or "linux" for Windows and
       Linux-based operating systems respectively.

       Un*x-like and Linux-based operating systems usually consist of several filesystems which
       are mounted at boot time (for example, a separate boot partition mounted on "/boot").  The
       inspection rules are able to detect how filesystems correspond to mount points.  Call
       "guestfs_inspect_get_mountpoints" to get this mapping.  It might return a hash table like
       this example:

        /boot => /dev/sda1
        /     => /dev/vg_guest/lv_root
        /usr  => /dev/vg_guest/lv_usr

       The caller can then make calls to "guestfs_mount" to mount the filesystems as suggested.

       Be careful to mount filesystems in the right order (eg. "/" before "/usr").  Sorting the
       keys of the hash by length, shortest first, should work.

       Inspection currently only works for some common operating systems.  Contributors are
       welcome to send patches for other operating systems that we currently cannot detect.

       Encrypted disks must be opened before inspection.  See "ENCRYPTED DISKS" for more details.
       The "guestfs_inspect_os" function just ignores any encrypted devices.

       A note on the implementation: The call "guestfs_inspect_os" performs inspection and caches
       the results in the guest handle.  Subsequent calls to "guestfs_inspect_get_*" return this
       cached information, but do not re-read the disks.  If you change the content of the guest
       disks, you can redo inspection by calling "guestfs_inspect_os" again.
       ("guestfs_inspect_list_applications2" works a little differently from the other calls and
       does read the disks.  See documentation for that function for details).

       INSPECTING INSTALL DISKS

       Libguestfs (since 1.9.4) can detect some install disks, install CDs, live CDs and more.

       Call "guestfs_inspect_get_format" to return the format of the operating system, which
       currently can be "installed" (a regular operating system) or "installer" (some sort of
       install disk).

       Further information is available about the operating system that can be installed using
       the regular inspection APIs like "guestfs_inspect_get_product_name",
       "guestfs_inspect_get_major_version" etc.

       Some additional information specific to installer disks is also available from the
       "guestfs_inspect_is_live", "guestfs_inspect_is_netinst" and "guestfs_inspect_is_multipart"
       calls.

   SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR WINDOWS GUESTS
       Libguestfs can mount NTFS partitions.  It does this using the http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
       driver.

       ЛІТЕРИ ДИСКІВ ТА ШЛЯХИ

       DOS and Windows still use drive letters, and the filesystems are always treated as case
       insensitive by Windows itself, and therefore you might find a Windows configuration file
       referring to a path like "c:\windows\system32".  When the filesystem is mounted in
       libguestfs, that directory might be referred to as "/WINDOWS/System32".

       Drive letter mappings can be found using inspection (see "INSPECTION" and
       "guestfs_inspect_get_drive_mappings")

       Dealing with separator characters (backslash vs forward slash) is outside the scope of
       libguestfs, but usually a simple character replacement will work.

       To resolve the case insensitivity of paths, call "guestfs_case_sensitive_path".

       ДОВГІ НАЗВИ ФАЙЛІВ У NTFS

       NTFS supports filenames up to 255 characters long.  "Character" means a 2 byte UTF-16
       codepoint which can encode the most common Unicode codepoints.

       Most Linux filesystems support filenames up to 255 bytes.  This means you may get an
       error:

        File name too long

       when you copy a file from NTFS to a Linux filesystem if the name, when reencoded as UTF-8,
       would exceed 255 bytes in length.

       This will most often happen when using non-ASCII names that are longer than ~127
       characters (eg. Greek, Cyrillic) or longer than ~85 characters (Asian languages).

       A workaround is not to try to store such long filenames on Linux native filesystems.
       Since the tar(1) format can store unlimited length filenames, keep the files in a tarball.

       ДОСТУП ДО РЕГІСТРУ WINDOWS

       Libguestfs also provides some help for decoding Windows Registry "hive" files, through a
       separate C library called hivex(3).

       Before libguestfs 1.19.35 you had to download the hive file, operate on it locally using
       hivex, and upload it again.  Since this version, we have included the major hivex APIs
       directly in the libguestfs API (see "guestfs_hivex_open").  This means that if you have
       opened a Windows guest, you can read and write the registry directly.

       СИМВОЛІЧНІ ПОСИЛАННЯ У ФАЙЛОВИХ СИСТЕМАХ NTFS-3G

       Ntfs-3g tries to rewrite "Junction Points" and NTFS "symbolic links" to provide something
       which looks like a Linux symlink.  The way it tries to do the rewriting is described here:

       http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/junction-points-and-symbolic-links/

       The essential problem is that ntfs-3g simply does not have enough information to do a
       correct job.  NTFS links can contain drive letters and references to external device GUIDs
       that ntfs-3g has no way of resolving.  It is almost certainly the case that libguestfs
       callers should ignore what ntfs-3g does (ie. don't use "guestfs_readlink" on NTFS
       volumes).

       Instead if you encounter a symbolic link on an ntfs-3g filesystem, use "guestfs_lgetxattr"
       to read the "system.ntfs_reparse_data" extended attribute, and read the raw reparse data
       from that (you can find the format documented in various places around the web).

       EXTENDED ATTRIBUTES ON NTFS-3G FILESYSTEMS

       There are other useful extended attributes that can be read from ntfs-3g filesystems
       (using "guestfs_getxattr").  See:

       http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/extended-attributes/

       WINDOWS HIBERNATION AND WINDOWS 8 FAST STARTUP

       Windows guests which have been hibernated (instead of fully shut down) cannot be mounted.
       This is a limitation of ntfs-3g.  You will see an error like this:

        The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
        Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
        Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Operation not permitted
        The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume
        and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast
        restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the
        'ro' mount option.

       In Windows 8, the shutdown button does not shut down the guest at all.  Instead it usually
       hibernates the guest.  This is known as "fast startup".

       Some suggested workarounds are:

       •   Mount read-only (eg. "guestfs_mount_ro").

       •   On Windows 8, turn off fast startup.  It is in the Control Panel → Power Options →
           Choose what the power buttons do → Change settings that are currently unavailable →
           Turn on fast startup.

       •   On Windows 7 and earlier, shut the guest off properly instead of hibernating it.

   ПОМИЛКИ RESIZE2FS
       The "guestfs_resize2fs", "guestfs_resize2fs_size" and "guestfs_resize2fs_M" calls are used
       to resize ext2/3/4 filesystems.

       The underlying program (resize2fs(8)) requires that the filesystem is clean and recently
       fsck'd before you can resize it.  Also, if the resize operation fails for some reason,
       then you had to call fsck the filesystem again to fix it.

       In libguestfs "lt" 1.17.14, you usually had to call "guestfs_e2fsck_f" before the resize.
       However, in "ge" 1.17.14, e2fsck(8) is called automatically before the resize, so you no
       longer need to do this.

       The resize2fs(8) program can still fail, in which case it prints an error message similar
       to:

        Please run 'e2fsck -fy <device>' to fix the filesystem
        after the aborted resize operation.

       You can do this by calling "guestfs_e2fsck" with the "forceall" option.  However in the
       context of disk images, it is usually better to avoid this situation, eg. by rolling back
       to an earlier snapshot, or by copying and resizing and on failure going back to the
       original.

   ВИКОРИСТАННЯ LIBGUESTFS ЗА ДОПОМОГОЮ ІНШИХ МОВ ПРОГРАМУВАННЯ
       Although we don't want to discourage you from using the C API, we will mention here that
       the same API is also available in other languages.

       The API is broadly identical in all supported languages.  This means that the C call
       "guestfs_add_drive_ro(g,file)" is "$g->add_drive_ro($file)" in Perl,
       "g.add_drive_ro(file)" in Python, and "g#add_drive_ro file" in OCaml.  In other words, a
       straightforward, predictable isomorphism between each language.

       Error messages are automatically transformed into exceptions if the language supports it.

       We don't try to "object orientify" parts of the API in OO languages, although contributors
       are welcome to write higher level APIs above what we provide in their favourite languages
       if they wish.

       C++ You can use the guestfs.h header file from C++ programs.  The C++ API is identical to
           the C API.  C++ classes and exceptions are not used.

       C#  The C# bindings are highly experimental.  Please read the warnings at the top of
           "csharp/Libguestfs.cs".

       Erlang
           Див. guestfs-erlang(3).

       GObject

   LIBGUESTFS GOTCHAS
       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotcha_(programming): "A feature of a system [...] that works
       in the way it is documented but is counterintuitive and almost invites mistakes."

       Since we developed libguestfs and the associated tools, there are several things we would
       have designed differently, but are now stuck with for backwards compatibility or other
       reasons.  If there is ever a libguestfs 2.0 release, you can expect these to change.
       Beware of them.

       Read-only should be the default.
           In guestfish(3), --ro should be the default, and you should have to specify --rw if
           you want to make changes to the image.

           This would reduce the potential to corrupt live VM images.

           Note that many filesystems change the disk when you just mount and unmount, even if
           you didn't perform any writes.  You need to use "guestfs_add_drive_ro" to guarantee
           that the disk is not changed.

       guestfish command line is hard to use.
           "guestfish disk.img" doesn't do what people expect (open "disk.img" for examination).
           It tries to run a guestfish command "disk.img" which doesn't exist, so it fails.  In
           earlier versions of guestfish the error message was also unintuitive, but we have
           corrected this since.  Like the Bourne shell, we should have used "guestfish -c
           command" to run commands.

       guestfish megabyte modifiers don't work right on all commands
           In recent guestfish you can use "1M" to mean 1 megabyte (and similarly for other
           modifiers).  What guestfish actually does is to multiply the number part by the
           modifier part and pass the result to the C API.  However this doesn't work for a few
           APIs which aren't expecting bytes, but are already expecting some other unit (eg.
           megabytes).

           The most common is "guestfs_lvcreate".  The guestfish command:

            lvcreate LV VG 100M

           does not do what you might expect.  Instead because "guestfs_lvcreate" is already
           expecting megabytes, this tries to create a 100 terabyte (100 megabytes * megabytes)
           logical volume.  The error message you get from this is also a little obscure.

           This could be fixed in the generator by specially marking parameters and return values
           which take bytes or other units.

       Ambiguity between devices and paths
           There is a subtle ambiguity in the API between a device name (eg. "/dev/sdb2") and a
           similar pathname.  A file might just happen to be called "sdb2" in the directory
           "/dev" (consider some non-Unix VM image).

           In the current API we usually resolve this ambiguity by having two separate calls, for
           example "guestfs_checksum" and "guestfs_checksum_device".  Some API calls are
           ambiguous and (incorrectly) resolve the problem by detecting if the path supplied
           begins with "/dev/".

           To avoid both the ambiguity and the need to duplicate some calls, we could make
           paths/devices into structured names.  One way to do this would be to use a notation
           like grub ("hd(0,0)"), although nobody really likes this aspect of grub.  Another way
           would be to use a structured type, equivalent to this OCaml type:

            type path = Path of string | Device of int | Partition of int * int

           which would allow you to pass arguments like:

            Path "/foo/bar"
            Device 1            (* /dev/sdb або, можливо, /dev/sda *)
            Partition (1, 2)    (* /dev/sdb2 (або /dev/sda2, або /dev/sdb3?) *)
            Path "/dev/sdb2"    (* не є пристроєм *)

           As you can see there are still problems to resolve even with this representation.
           Also consider how it might work in guestfish.

   КЛЮЧІ І ПАРОЛІ
       Certain libguestfs calls take a parameter that contains sensitive key material, passed in
       as a C string.

       In the future we would hope to change the libguestfs implementation so that keys are
       mlock(2)-ed into physical RAM, and thus can never end up in swap.  However this is not
       done at the moment, because of the complexity of such an implementation.

       Therefore you should be aware that any key parameter you pass to libguestfs might end up
       being written out to the swap partition.  If this is a concern, scrub the swap partition
       or don't use libguestfs on encrypted devices.

   MULTIPLE HANDLES AND MULTIPLE THREADS
       All high-level libguestfs actions are synchronous.  If you want to use libguestfs
       asynchronously then you must create a thread.

       Only use the handle from a single thread.  Either use the handle exclusively from one
       thread, or provide your own mutex so that two threads cannot issue calls on the same
       handle at the same time.  Even apparently innocent functions like "guestfs_get_trace" are
       not safe to be called from multiple threads without a mutex.

       See the graphical program guestfs-browser for one possible architecture for multithreaded
       programs using libvirt and libguestfs.

   ШЛЯХ
       Libguestfs needs a supermin appliance, which it finds by looking along an internal path.

       By default it looks for these in the directory "$libdir/guestfs" (eg.
       "/usr/local/lib/guestfs" or "/usr/lib64/guestfs").

       Use "guestfs_set_path" or set the environment variable "LIBGUESTFS_PATH" to change the
       directories that libguestfs will search in.  The value is a colon-separated list of paths.
       The current directory is not searched unless the path contains an empty element or ".".
       For example "LIBGUESTFS_PATH=:/usr/lib/guestfs" would search the current directory and
       then "/usr/lib/guestfs".

   QEMU WRAPPERS
       If you want to compile your own qemu, run qemu from a non-standard location, or pass extra
       arguments to qemu, then you can write a shell-script wrapper around qemu.

       There is one important rule to remember: you must "exec qemu" as the last command in the
       shell script (so that qemu replaces the shell and becomes the direct child of the
       libguestfs-using program).  If you don't do this, then the qemu process won't be cleaned
       up correctly.

       Here is an example of a wrapper, where I have built my own copy of qemu from source:

        #!/bin/sh -
        qemudir=/home/rjones/d/qemu
        exec $qemudir/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L $qemudir/pc-bios "$@"

       Save this script as "/tmp/qemu.wrapper" (or wherever), "chmod +x", and then use it by
       setting the LIBGUESTFS_HV environment variable.  For example:

        LIBGUESTFS_HV=/tmp/qemu.wrapper guestfish

       Note that libguestfs also calls qemu with the -help and -version options in order to
       determine features.

       Wrappers can also be used to edit the options passed to qemu.  In the following example,
       the "-machine ..." option ("-machine" and the following argument) are removed from the
       command line and replaced with "-machine pc,accel=tcg".  The while loop iterates over the
       options until it finds the right one to remove, putting the remaining options into the
       "args" array.

        #!/bin/bash -

        i=0
        while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
            case "$1" in
            -machine)
                shift 2;;
            *)
                args[i]="$1"
                (( i++ ))
                shift ;;
            esac
        done

        exec qemu-kvm -machine pc,accel=tcg "${args[@]}"

   BACKEND
       The backend (previously known as the "attach method") controls how libguestfs creates
       and/or connects to the backend daemon, eg. by starting qemu directly, or using libvirt to
       manage an appliance, running User-Mode Linux, or connecting to an already running daemon.

       You can set the backend by calling "guestfs_set_backend", or by setting the environment
       variable "LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND".

       Possible backends are described below:

       "direct"
       "appliance"
           Run qemu directly to launch an appliance.

           "direct" and "appliance" are synonyms.

           This is the ordinary method and normally the default, but see the note below.

       "libvirt"
       "libvirt:URI"
           Use libvirt to launch and manage the appliance.

           The optional URI is the libvirt connection URI to use (see
           http://libvirt.org/uri.html).  The typical libvirt backend with a URI would be
           "libvirt:qemu:///session"

           The libvirt backend supports more features, including hotplugging (see "HOTPLUGGING")
           and sVirt.

       "uml"
           Run the User-Mode Linux kernel.  The location of the kernel is set using
           $LIBGUESTFS_HV or using the "guestfs_set_qemu" API (note that qemu is not involved, we
           just reuse the same variable in the handle for convenience).

           User-Mode Linux can be much faster, simpler and more lightweight than using a full-
           blown virtual machine, but it also has some shortcomings.  See "USER-MODE LINUX
           BACKEND" below.

       "unix:шлях"
           Встановити з’єднання з сокетом домену Unix шлях.

           This method lets you connect to an existing daemon or (using virtio-serial) to a live
           guest.  For more information, see "ATTACHING TO RUNNING DAEMONS".

       "direct" is usually the default backend.  However since libguestfs ≥ 1.19.24, libguestfs
       can be built with a different default by doing:

        ./configure --with-default-backend=...

       To find out if libguestfs was compiled with a different default backend, do:

        unset LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND
        guestfish get-backend

   ДОЛУЧЕННЯ ДО ЗАПУЩЕНИХ ФОНОВИХ СЛУЖБ
       Note (1): This is highly experimental and has a tendency to eat babies.  Use with caution.

       Note (2): This section explains how to attach to a running daemon from a low level
       perspective.  For most users, simply using virt tools such as guestfish(1) with the --live
       option will "just work".

       Using guestfs_set_backend

       By calling "guestfs_set_backend" you can change how the library connects to the "guestfsd"
       daemon in "guestfs_launch" (read "ARCHITECTURE" for some background).

       The normal backend is "direct", where a small appliance is created containing the daemon,
       and then the library connects to this.  "libvirt" or "libvirt:URI" are alternatives that
       use libvirt to start the appliance.

       Setting the backend to "unix:path" (where path is the path of a Unix domain socket) causes
       "guestfs_launch" to connect to an existing daemon over the Unix domain socket.

       The normal use for this is to connect to a running virtual machine that contains a
       "guestfsd" daemon, and send commands so you can read and write files inside the live
       virtual machine.

       За допомогою guestfs_add_domain з прапорцем live

       "guestfs_add_domain" provides some help for getting the correct backend.  If you pass the
       "live" option to this function, then (if the virtual machine is running) it will examine
       the libvirt XML looking for a virtio-serial channel to connect to:

        <domain>
          ...
          <devices>
            ...
            <channel type='unix'>
              <source mode='bind' path='/path/to/socket'/>
              <target type='virtio' name='org.libguestfs.channel.0'/>
            </channel>
            ...
          </devices>
        </domain>

       "guestfs_add_domain" extracts "/path/to/socket" and sets the backend to
       "unix:/path/to/socket".

       Some of the libguestfs tools (including guestfish) support a --live option which is passed
       through to "guestfs_add_domain" thus allowing you to attach to and modify live virtual
       machines.

       The virtual machine needs to have been set up beforehand so that it has the virtio-serial
       channel and so that guestfsd is running inside it.

   USER-MODE LINUX BACKEND
       Setting the following environment variables (or the equivalent in the API) selects the
       User-Mode Linux backend:

        export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=uml
        export LIBGUESTFS_HV=/path/to/vmlinux

       "vmlinux" (or it may be called "linux") is the Linux binary, compiled to run as a
       userspace process.  Note that we reuse the qemu variable in the handle for convenience;
       qemu is not involved.

       User-Mode Linux can be faster and more lightweight than running a full-blown virtual
       machine as the backend (especially if you are already running libguestfs in a virtual
       machine or cloud instance), but it also has some shortcomings compared to the usual
       qemu/KVM-based backend.

       BUILDING USER-MODE LINUX FROM SOURCE

       Your Linux distro may provide UML in which case you can ignore this section.

       These instructions are adapted from: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/source.html

       1. Check out Linux sources
           Clone the Linux git repository or download the Linux source tarball.

       2. Configure the kernel
           Note: All 'make' commands must have "ARCH=um" added.

            make menuconfig ARCH=um

           Make sure any filesystem drivers that you need are compiled into the kernel.

           Currently, it needs a large amount of extra work to get modules working.  It's
           recommended that you disable module support in the kernel configuration, which will
           cause everything to be compiled into the image.

       3. Build the kernel
            make ARCH=um

           This will leave a file called "linux" or "vmlinux" in the top-level directory.  This
           is the UML kernel.  You should set "LIBGUESTFS_HV" to point to this file.

       USER-MODE LINUX DIFFERENCES FROM KVM

       UML only supports raw-format images
           Only plain raw-format images will work.  No qcow2, no backing files.

       UML does not support any remote drives
           No NBD, etc.

       UML only works on ix86 and x86-64
       UML is experimental
           In particular, support for UML in libguestfs depends on support for UML in the
           upstream kernel.  If UML was ever removed from the upstream Linux kernel, then we
           might remove it from libguestfs too.

   ГАРАНТІЯ ЩОДО ABI
       We guarantee the libguestfs ABI (binary interface), for public, high-level actions as
       outlined in this section.  Although we will deprecate some actions, for example if they
       get replaced by newer calls, we will keep the old actions forever.  This allows you the
       developer to program in confidence against the libguestfs API.

   ІМЕНУВАННЯ БЛОКОВИХ ПРИСТРОЇВ
       In the kernel there is now quite a profusion of schemata for naming block devices (in this
       context, by block device I mean a physical or virtual hard drive).  The original Linux IDE
       driver used names starting with "/dev/hd*".  SCSI devices have historically used a
       different naming scheme, "/dev/sd*".  When the Linux kernel libata driver became a popular
       replacement for the old IDE driver (particularly for SATA devices) those devices also used
       the "/dev/sd*" scheme.  Additionally we now have virtual machines with paravirtualized
       drivers.  This has created several different naming systems, such as "/dev/vd*" for virtio
       disks and "/dev/xvd*" for Xen PV disks.

       As discussed above, libguestfs uses a qemu appliance running an embedded Linux kernel to
       access block devices.  We can run a variety of appliances based on a variety of Linux
       kernels.

       This causes a problem for libguestfs because many API calls use device or partition names.
       Working scripts and the recipe (example) scripts that we make available over the internet
       could fail if the naming scheme changes.

       Therefore libguestfs defines "/dev/sd*" as the standard naming scheme.  Internally
       "/dev/sd*" names are translated, if necessary, to other names as required.  For example,
       under RHEL 5 which uses the "/dev/hd*" scheme, any device parameter "/dev/sda2" is
       translated to "/dev/hda2" transparently.

       Note that this only applies to parameters.  The "guestfs_list_devices",
       "guestfs_list_partitions" and similar calls return the true names of the devices and
       partitions as known to the appliance, but see "guestfs_canonical_device_name".

       МІТКИ ДИСКІВ

       In libguestfs ≥ 1.20, you can give a label to a disk when you add it, using the optional
       "label" parameter to "guestfs_add_drive_opts".  (Note that disk labels are different from
       and not related to filesystem labels).

       Not all versions of libguestfs support setting a disk label, and when it is supported, it
       is limited to 20 ASCII characters "[a-zA-Z]".

       When you add a disk with a label, it can either be addressed using "/dev/sd*", or using
       "/dev/disk/guestfs/label".  Partitions on the disk can be addressed using
       "/dev/disk/guestfs/labelpartnum".

       Listing devices ("guestfs_list_devices") and partitions ("guestfs_list_partitions")
       returns the raw block device name.  However you can use "guestfs_list_disk_labels" to map
       disk labels to raw block device and partition names.

       ALGORITHM FOR BLOCK DEVICE NAME TRANSLATION

       Usually this translation is transparent.  However in some (very rare)  cases you may need
       to know the exact algorithm.  Such cases include where you use "guestfs_config" to add a
       mixture of virtio and IDE devices to the qemu-based appliance, so have a mixture of
       "/dev/sd*" and "/dev/vd*" devices.

       The algorithm is applied only to parameters which are known to be either device or
       partition names.  Return values from functions such as "guestfs_list_devices" are never
       changed.

       •   Is the string a parameter which is a device or partition name?

       •   Чи починається рядок з "/dev/sd"?

       •   Does the named device exist? If so, we use that device.  However if not then we
           continue with this algorithm.

       •   Replace initial "/dev/sd" string with "/dev/hd".

           For example, change "/dev/sda2" to "/dev/hda2".

           If that named device exists, use it.  If not, continue.

       •   Replace initial "/dev/sd" string with "/dev/vd".

           If that named device exists, use it.  If not, return an error.

       PORTABILITY CONCERNS WITH BLOCK DEVICE NAMING

       Although the standard naming scheme and automatic translation is useful for simple
       programs and guestfish scripts, for larger programs it is best not to rely on this
       mechanism.

       Where possible for maximum future portability programs using libguestfs should use these
       future-proof techniques:

       •   Use "guestfs_list_devices" or "guestfs_list_partitions" to list actual device names,
           and then use those names directly.

           Since those device names exist by definition, they will never be translated.

       •   Use higher level ways to identify filesystems, such as LVM names, UUIDs and filesystem
           labels.

   NULL DISKS
       When adding a disk using, eg., "guestfs_add_drive", you can set the filename to
       "/dev/null".  This string is treated specially by libguestfs, causing it to add a "null
       disk".

       A null disk has the following properties:

       •   A null disk will appear as a normal device, eg. in calls to "guestfs_list_devices".

       •   You may add "/dev/null" multiple times.

       •   You should not try to access a null disk in any way.  For example, you shouldn't try
           to read it or mount it.

       Null disks are used for three main purposes:

       1.  Performance testing of libguestfs (see guestfs-performance(1)).

       2.  Вбудований комплекс для перевірки.

       3.  If you want to use libguestfs APIs that don't refer to disks, since libguestfs
           requires that at least one disk is added, you should add a null disk.

           For example, to test if a feature is available, use code like this:

            guestfs_h *g;
            char **groups = [ "btrfs", NULL ];

            g = guestfs_create ();
            guestfs_add_drive (g, "/dev/null");
            guestfs_launch (g);
            if (guestfs_available (g, groups) == 0) {
              // group(s) are available
            } else {
              // group(s) are not available
            }
            guestfs_close (g);

   ФОРМАТИ ОБРАЗІВ ДИСКІВ
       Virtual disks come in a variety of formats.  Some common formats are listed below.

       Note that libguestfs itself is not responsible for handling the disk format: this is done
       using qemu(1).  If support for a particular format is missing or broken, this has to be
       fixed in qemu.

       COMMON VIRTUAL DISK IMAGE FORMATS

       raw Raw format is simply a dump of the sequential bytes of the virtual hard disk.  There
           is no header, container, compression or processing of any sort.

           Since raw format requires no translation to read or write, it is both fast and very
           well supported by qemu and all other hypervisors.  You can consider it to be a
           universal format that any hypervisor can access.

           Raw format files are not compressed and so take up the full space of the original disk
           image even when they are empty.  A variation (on Linux/Unix at least) is to not store
           ranges of all-zero bytes by storing the file as a sparse file.  This "variant format"
           is sometimes called raw sparse.  Many utilities, including virt-sparsify(1), can make
           raw disk images sparse.

       qcow2
           Qcow2 is the native disk image format used by qemu.  Internally it uses a two-level
           directory structure so that only blocks containing data are stored in the file.  It
           also has many other features such as compression, snapshots and backing files.

           There are at least two distinct variants of this format, although qemu (and hence
           libguestfs) handles both transparently to the user.

       vmdk
           VMDK is VMware's native disk image format.  There are many variations.  Modern qemu
           (hence libguestfs) supports most variations, but you should be aware that older
           versions of qemu had some very bad data-corrupting bugs in this area.

           Note that VMware ESX exposes files with the name "guest-flat.vmdk".  These are not
           VMDK.  They are raw format files which happen to have a ".vmdk" extension.

       vdi VDI is VirtualBox's native disk image format.  Qemu (hence libguestfs)  has generally
           good support for this.

       vpc
       vhd VPC (old) and VHD (modern) are the native disk image format of Microsoft (and
           previously, Connectix) Virtual PC and Hyper-V.

       Obsolete formats
           The following formats are obsolete and should not be used: qcow (aka qcow1), cow,
           bochs.

       DETECTING THE FORMAT OF A DISK IMAGE

       Firstly note there is a security issue with auto-detecting the format of a disk image.  It
       may or may not apply in your use case.  Read "CVE-2010-3851" below.

       Libguestfs offers an API to get the format of a disk image ("guestfs_disk_format", and it
       is safest to use this.

       Don't be tempted to try parsing the text / human-readable output of "qemu-img" since it
       cannot be parsed reliably and securely.  Also do not use the "file" command since the
       output of that changes over time.

БЕЗПЕКА

       This section discusses security implications of using libguestfs, particularly with
       untrusted or malicious guests or disk images.

   ЗАХИСТ ФАЙЛОВИХ СИСТЕМ МОНТУВАННЯ
       You should never mount an untrusted guest filesystem directly on your host kernel (eg.
       using loopback or kpartx).

       When you mount a filesystem, mistakes in the kernel filesystem (VFS)  can be escalated
       into exploits by attackers creating a malicious filesystem.  These exploits are very
       severe for two reasons.  Firstly there are very many filesystem drivers in the kernel, and
       many of them are infrequently used and not much developer attention has been paid to the
       code.  Linux userspace helps potential crackers by detecting the filesystem type and
       automatically choosing the right VFS driver, even if that filesystem type is unexpected.
       Secondly, a kernel-level exploit is like a local root exploit (worse in some ways), giving
       immediate and total access to the system right down to the hardware level.

       These exploits can be present in the kernel for a very long time
       (https://lwn.net/Articles/538898/).

       Libguestfs provides a layered approach to protecting you from exploits:

          untrusted filesystem
        --------------------------------------
          appliance kernel
        --------------------------------------
          qemu process running as non-root
        --------------------------------------
          sVirt [if using libvirt + SELinux]
        --------------------------------------
          host kernel

       We run a Linux kernel inside a qemu virtual machine, usually running as a non-root user.
       The attacker would need to write a filesystem which first exploited the kernel, and then
       exploited either qemu virtualization (eg. a faulty qemu driver) or the libguestfs
       protocol, and finally to be as serious as the host kernel exploit it would need to
       escalate its privileges to root.  Additionally if you use the libvirt back end and
       SELinux, sVirt is used to confine the qemu process.  This multi-step escalation, performed
       by a static piece of data, is thought to be extremely hard to do, although we never say
       'never' about security issues.

       Callers can also reduce the attack surface by forcing the filesystem type when mounting
       (use "guestfs_mount_vfs").

   ЗАГАЛЬНІ ЗАУВАЖЕННЯ ЩОДО ЗАХИСТУ
       Be careful with any files or data that you download from a guest (by "download" we mean
       not just the "guestfs_download" command but any command that reads files, filenames,
       directories or anything else from a disk image).  An attacker could manipulate the data to
       fool your program into doing the wrong thing.  Consider cases such as:

       •   the data (file etc) not being present

       •   being present but empty

       •   being much larger than normal

       •   containing arbitrary 8 bit data

       •   being in an unexpected character encoding

       •   containing homoglyphs.

   ЗАХИСТ ПРОТОКОЛУ
       The protocol is designed to be secure, being based on RFC 4506 (XDR)  with a defined upper
       message size.  However a program that uses libguestfs must also take care - for example
       you can write a program that downloads a binary from a disk image and executes it locally,
       and no amount of protocol security will save you from the consequences.

   INSPECTION SECURITY
       Parts of the inspection API (see "INSPECTION") return untrusted strings directly from the
       guest, and these could contain any 8 bit data.  Callers should be careful to escape these
       before printing them to a structured file (for example, use HTML escaping if creating a
       web page).

       Guest configuration may be altered in unusual ways by the administrator of the virtual
       machine, and may not reflect reality (particularly for untrusted or actively malicious
       guests).  For example we parse the hostname from configuration files like
       "/etc/sysconfig/network" that we find in the guest, but the guest administrator can easily
       manipulate these files to provide the wrong hostname.

       The inspection API parses guest configuration using two external libraries: Augeas (Linux
       configuration) and hivex (Windows Registry).  Both are designed to be robust in the face
       of malicious data, although denial of service attacks are still possible, for example with
       oversized configuration files.

   ЗАПУСК НЕЗАХИЩЕНИХ КОМАНД ГОСТЬОВОЇ СИСТЕМИ
       Be very cautious about running commands from the guest.  By running a command in the
       guest, you are giving CPU time to a binary that you do not control, under the same user
       account as the library, albeit wrapped in qemu virtualization.  More information and
       alternatives can be found in the section "RUNNING COMMANDS".

   CVE-2010-3851
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/642934

       This security bug concerns the automatic disk format detection that qemu does on disk
       images.

       A raw disk image is just the raw bytes, there is no header.  Other disk images like qcow2
       contain a special header.  Qemu deals with this by looking for one of the known headers,
       and if none is found then assuming the disk image must be raw.

       This allows a guest which has been given a raw disk image to write some other header.  At
       next boot (or when the disk image is accessed by libguestfs) qemu would do autodetection
       and think the disk image format was, say, qcow2 based on the header written by the guest.

       This in itself would not be a problem, but qcow2 offers many features, one of which is to
       allow a disk image to refer to another image (called the "backing disk").  It does this by
       placing the path to the backing disk into the qcow2 header.  This path is not validated
       and could point to any host file (eg. "/etc/passwd").  The backing disk is then exposed
       through "holes" in the qcow2 disk image, which of course is completely under the control
       of the attacker.

       In libguestfs this is rather hard to exploit except under two circumstances:

       1.  You have enabled the network or have opened the disk in write mode.

       2.  You are also running untrusted code from the guest (see "RUNNING COMMANDS").

       The way to avoid this is to specify the expected disk format when adding disks (the
       optional "format" option to "guestfs_add_drive_opts").  You should always do this if the
       disk is raw format, and it's a good idea for other cases too.  (See also "DISK IMAGE
       FORMATS").

       For disks added from libvirt using calls like "guestfs_add_domain", the format is fetched
       from libvirt and passed through.

       For libguestfs tools, use the --format command line parameter as appropriate.

   CVE-2011-4127
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/752375

       This is a bug in the kernel which allowed guests to overwrite parts of the host's drives
       which they should not normally have access to.

       It is sufficient to update libguestfs to any version ≥ 1.16 which contains a change that
       mitigates the problem.

   CVE-2012-2690
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/831117

       Old versions of both virt-edit and the guestfish "edit" command created a new file
       containing the changes but did not set the permissions, etc of the new file to match the
       old one.  The result of this was that if you edited a security sensitive file such as
       "/etc/shadow" then it would be left world-readable after the edit.

       It is sufficient to update libguestfs to any version ≥ 1.16.

   CVE-2013-2124
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/968306

       This security bug was a flaw in inspection where an untrusted guest using a specially
       crafted file in the guest OS could cause a double-free in the C library (denial of
       service).

       It is sufficient to update libguestfs to a version that is not vulnerable: libguestfs ≥
       1.20.8, ≥ 1.22.2 or ≥ 1.23.2.

   CVE-2013-4419
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1016960

       When using the guestfish(1) --remote or guestfish --listen options, guestfish would create
       a socket in a known location ("/tmp/.guestfish-$UID/socket-$PID").

       The location has to be a known one in order for both ends to communicate.  However no
       checking was done that the containing directory ("/tmp/.guestfish-$UID") is owned by the
       user.  Thus another user could create this directory and potentially hijack sockets owned
       by another user's guestfish client or server.

       It is sufficient to update libguestfs to a version that is not vulnerable: libguestfs ≥
       1.20.12, ≥ 1.22.7 or ≥ 1.24.

КЕРУВАННЯ З’ЄДНАННЯМ

   guestfs_h *
       "guestfs_h" is the opaque type representing a connection handle.  Create a handle by
       calling "guestfs_create" or "guestfs_create_flags".  Call "guestfs_close" to free the
       handle and release all resources used.

       For information on using multiple handles and threads, see the section "MULTIPLE HANDLES
       AND MULTIPLE THREADS" above.

   guestfs_create
        guestfs_h *guestfs_create (void);

       Створити дескриптор з’єднання.

       On success this returns a non-NULL pointer to a handle.  On error it returns NULL.

       You have to "configure" the handle after creating it.  This includes calling
       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" (or one of the equivalent calls) on the handle at least once.

       After configuring the handle, you have to call "guestfs_launch".

       You may also want to configure error handling for the handle.  See the "ERROR HANDLING"
       section below.

   guestfs_create_flags
        guestfs_h *guestfs_create_flags (unsigned flags [, ...]);

       Create a connection handle, supplying extra flags and extra arguments to control how the
       handle is created.

       On success this returns a non-NULL pointer to a handle.  On error it returns NULL.

       "guestfs_create" is equivalent to calling guestfs_create_flags(0).

       The following flags may be logically ORed together.  (Currently no extra arguments are
       used).

       "GUESTFS_CREATE_NO_ENVIRONMENT"
           Don't parse any environment variables (such as "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG" etc).

           You can call "guestfs_parse_environment" or "guestfs_parse_environment_list"
           afterwards to parse environment variables.  Alternately, don't call these functions if
           you want the handle to be unaffected by environment variables.  See the example below.

           The default (if this flag is not given) is to implicitly call
           "guestfs_parse_environment".

       "GUESTFS_CREATE_NO_CLOSE_ON_EXIT"
           Don't try to close the handle in an atexit(3) handler if the program exits without
           explicitly closing the handle.

           The default (if this flag is not given) is to install such an atexit handler.

       ВИКОРИСТАННЯ "GUESTFS_CREATE_NO_ENVIRONMENT"

       You might use "GUESTFS_CREATE_NO_ENVIRONMENT" and an explicit call to
       "guestfs_parse_environment" like this:

        guestfs_h *g;
        int r;

        g = guestfs_create_flags (GUESTFS_CREATE_NO_ENVIRONMENT);
        if (!g) {
          perror ("guestfs_create_flags");
          exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
        }
        r = guestfs_parse_environment (g);
        if (r == -1)
          exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

       Or to create a handle which is unaffected by environment variables, omit the call to
       "guestfs_parse_environment" from the above code.

       The above code has another advantage which is that any errors from parsing the environment
       are passed through the error handler, whereas "guestfs_create" prints errors on stderr and
       ignores them.

   guestfs_close
        void guestfs_close (guestfs_h *g);

       This closes the connection handle and frees up all resources used.  If a close callback
       was set on the handle, then it is called.

       The correct way to close the handle is:

        if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
          /* тут обробляємо помилки запису */
        }
        guestfs_close (g);

       "guestfs_shutdown" is only needed if all of the following are true:

       1.  one or more disks were added in read-write mode, and

       2.  guestfs_launch was called, and

       3.  you made some changes, and

       4.  you have a way to handle write errors (eg. by exiting with an error code or reporting
           something to the user).

ОБРОБКА ПОМИЛОК

       API functions can return errors.  For example, almost all functions that return "int" will
       return "-1" to indicate an error.

       Additional information is available for errors: an error message string and optionally an
       error number (errno) if the thing that failed was a system call.

       You can get at the additional information about the last error on the handle by calling
       "guestfs_last_error", "guestfs_last_errno", and/or by setting up an error handler with
       "guestfs_set_error_handler".

       When the handle is created, a default error handler is installed which prints the error
       message string to "stderr".  For small short-running command line programs it is
       sufficient to do:

        if (guestfs_launch (g) == -1)
          exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

       since the default error handler will ensure that an error message has been printed to
       "stderr" before the program exits.

       For other programs the caller will almost certainly want to install an alternate error
       handler or do error handling in-line as in the example below.  The non-C language bindings
       all install NULL error handlers and turn errors into exceptions using code similar to
       this:

        const char *msg;
        int errnum;

        /* This disables the default behaviour of printing errors
           on stderr. */
        guestfs_set_error_handler (g, NULL, NULL);

        if (guestfs_launch (g) == -1) {
          /* Examine the error message and print it, throw it,
             etc. */
          msg = guestfs_last_error (g);
          errnum = guestfs_last_errno (g);

          fprintf (stderr, "%s", msg);
          if (errnum != 0)
            fprintf (stderr, ": %s", strerror (errnum));
          fprintf (stderr, "\n");

          /* ... */
        }

       "guestfs_create" returns "NULL" if the handle cannot be created, and because there is no
       handle if this happens there is no way to get additional error information.  Since
       libguestfs ≥ 1.20, you can use "guestfs_create_flags" to properly deal with errors during
       handle creation, although the vast majority of programs can continue to use
       "guestfs_create" and not worry about this situation.

       Out of memory errors are handled differently.  The default action is to call abort(3).  If
       this is undesirable, then you can set a handler using "guestfs_set_out_of_memory_handler".

   guestfs_last_error
        const char *guestfs_last_error (guestfs_h *g);

       This returns the last error message that happened on "g".  If there has not been an error
       since the handle was created, then this returns "NULL".

       Note the returned string does not have a newline character at the end.  Most error
       messages are single lines.  Some are split over multiple lines and contain "\n" characters
       within the string but not at the end.

       The lifetime of the returned string is until the next error occurs on the same handle, or
       "guestfs_close" is called.  If you need to keep it longer, copy it.

   guestfs_last_errno
        int guestfs_last_errno (guestfs_h *g);

       This returns the last error number (errno) that happened on "g".

       If successful, an errno integer not equal to zero is returned.

       In many cases the special errno "ENOTSUP" is returned if you tried to call a function or
       use a feature which is not supported.

       If no error number is available, this returns 0.  This call can return 0 in three
       situations:

       1.  There has not been any error on the handle.

       2.  There has been an error but the errno was meaningless.  This corresponds to the case
           where the error did not come from a failed system call, but for some other reason.

       3.  There was an error from a failed system call, but for some reason the errno was not
           captured and returned.  This usually indicates a bug in libguestfs.

       Libguestfs tries to convert the errno from inside the applicance into a corresponding
       errno for the caller (not entirely trivial: the appliance might be running a completely
       different operating system from the library and error numbers are not standardized across
       Un*xen).  If this could not be done, then the error is translated to "EINVAL".  In
       practice this should only happen in very rare circumstances.

   guestfs_set_error_handler
        typedef void (*guestfs_error_handler_cb) (guestfs_h *g,
                                                  void *opaque,
                                                  const char *msg);
        void guestfs_set_error_handler (guestfs_h *g,
                                        guestfs_error_handler_cb cb,
                                        void *opaque);

       The callback "cb" will be called if there is an error.  The parameters passed to the
       callback are an opaque data pointer and the error message string.

       "errno" is not passed to the callback.  To get that the callback must call
       "guestfs_last_errno".

       Note that the message string "msg" is freed as soon as the callback function returns, so
       if you want to stash it somewhere you must make your own copy.

       The default handler prints messages on "stderr".

       If you set "cb" to "NULL" then no handler is called.

   guestfs_get_error_handler
        guestfs_error_handler_cb guestfs_get_error_handler (guestfs_h *g,
                                                            void **opaque_rtn);

       Returns the current error handler callback.

   guestfs_push_error_handler
        void guestfs_push_error_handler (guestfs_h *g,
                                         guestfs_error_handler_cb cb,
                                         void *opaque);

       This is the same as "guestfs_set_error_handler", except that the old error handler is
       stashed away in a stack inside the handle.  You can restore the previous error handler by
       calling "guestfs_pop_error_handler".

       Use the following code to temporarily disable errors around a function:

        guestfs_push_error_handler (g, NULL, NULL);
        guestfs_mkdir (g, "/foo"); /* We don't care if this fails. */
        guestfs_pop_error_handler (g);

   guestfs_pop_error_handler
        void guestfs_pop_error_handler (guestfs_h *g);

       Restore the previous error handler (see "guestfs_push_error_handler").

       If you pop the stack too many times, then the default error handler is restored.

   guestfs_set_out_of_memory_handler
        typedef void (*guestfs_abort_cb) (void);
        void guestfs_set_out_of_memory_handler (guestfs_h *g,
                                                guestfs_abort_cb);

       The callback "cb" will be called if there is an out of memory situation.  Note this
       callback must not return.

       The default is to call abort(3).

       You cannot set "cb" to "NULL".  You can't ignore out of memory situations.

   guestfs_get_out_of_memory_handler
        guestfs_abort_fn guestfs_get_out_of_memory_handler (guestfs_h *g);

       This returns the current out of memory handler.

       This function returns the POSIX Access Control List (ACL) attached to "path".  The ACL is
       returned in "long text form" (see acl(5)).

       The "acltype" parameter may be:

       "access"
           Return the ordinary (access) ACL for any file, directory or other filesystem object.

       "default"
           Return the default ACL.  Normally this only makes sense if "path" is a directory.

       This function returns a string, or NULL on error.  The caller must free the returned
       string after use.

                              const char *acl);

       This function sets the POSIX Access Control List (ACL) attached to "path".

       The "acltype" parameter may be:

       "access"
           Set the ordinary (access) ACL for any file, directory or other filesystem object.

       "default"
           Set the default ACL.  Normally this only makes sense if "path" is a directory.

       The "acl" parameter is the new ACL in either "long text form" or "short text form" (see
       acl(5)).  The new ACL completely replaces any previous ACL on the file.  The ACL must
       contain the full Unix permissions (eg. "u::rwx,g::rx,o::rx").

       If you are specifying individual users or groups, then the mask field is also required
       (eg. "m::rwx"), followed by the "u:ID:..." and/or "g:ID:..." field(s).  A full ACL string
       might therefore look like this:

        u::rwx,g::rwx,o::rwx,m::rwx,u:500:rwx,g:500:rwx
        \ Unix permissions / \mask/ \      ACL        /

       You should use numeric UIDs and GIDs.  To map usernames and groupnames to the correct
       numeric ID in the context of the guest, use the Augeas functions (see "guestfs_aug_init").

        GUESTFS_ADD_DOMAIN_LIBVIRTURI, const char *libvirturi,

        GUESTFS_ADD_DOMAIN_IFACE, const char *iface,
        GUESTFS_ADD_DOMAIN_LIVE, int live,
        GUESTFS_ADD_DOMAIN_ALLOWUUID, int allowuuid,
        GUESTFS_ADD_DOMAIN_READONLYDISK, const char *readonlydisk,

       This function adds the disk(s) attached to the named libvirt domain "dom".  It works by
       connecting to libvirt, requesting the domain and domain XML from libvirt, parsing it for
       disks, and calling "guestfs_add_drive_opts" on each one.

       The number of disks added is returned.  This operation is atomic: if an error is returned,
       then no disks are added.

       This function does some minimal checks to make sure the libvirt domain is not running
       (unless "readonly" is true).  In a future version we will try to acquire the libvirt lock
       on each disk.

       Disks must be accessible locally.  This often means that adding disks from a remote
       libvirt connection (see http://libvirt.org/remote.html)  will fail unless those disks are
       accessible via the same device path locally too.

       The optional "libvirturi" parameter sets the libvirt URI (see
       http://libvirt.org/uri.html).  If this is not set then we connect to the default libvirt
       URI (or one set through an environment variable, see the libvirt documentation for full
       details).

       The optional "live" flag controls whether this call will try to connect to a running
       virtual machine "guestfsd" process if it sees a suitable <channel> element in the libvirt
       XML definition.  The default (if the flag is omitted) is never to try.  See "ATTACHING TO
       RUNNING DAEMONS" in guestfs(3) for more information.

       If the "allowuuid" flag is true (default is false) then a UUID may be passed instead of
       the domain name.  The "dom" string is treated as a UUID first and looked up, and if that
       lookup fails then we treat "dom" as a name as usual.

       The optional "readonlydisk" parameter controls what we do for disks which are marked
       <readonly/> in the libvirt XML.  Possible values are:

       readonlydisk = "error"
           If "readonly" is false:

           The whole call is aborted with an error if any disk with the <readonly/> flag is
           found.

           If "readonly" is true:

           Disks with the <readonly/> flag are added read-only.

       readonlydisk = "read"
           If "readonly" is false:

           Disks with the <readonly/> flag are added read-only.  Other disks are added
           read/write.

           If "readonly" is true:

           Disks with the <readonly/> flag are added read-only.

       readonlydisk = "write" (типово)
           If "readonly" is false:

           Disks with the <readonly/> flag are added read/write.

           If "readonly" is true:

           Disks with the <readonly/> flag are added read-only.

       readonlydisk = "ignore"
           If "readonly" is true or false:

           Disks with the <readonly/> flag are skipped.

       The other optional parameters are passed directly through to "guestfs_add_drive_opts".

        GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_SECRET, const char *secret,
        GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_CACHEMODE, const char *cachemode,

       This function adds a disk image called "filename" to the handle.  "filename" may be a
       regular host file or a host device.

       When this function is called before "guestfs_launch" (the usual case) then the first time
       you call this function, the disk appears in the API as "/dev/sda", the second time as
       "/dev/sdb", and so on.

       In libguestfs ≥ 1.20 you can also call this function after launch (with some
       restrictions).  This is called "hotplugging".  When hotplugging, you must specify a
       "label" so that the new disk gets a predictable name.  For more information see
       "HOTPLUGGING" in guestfs(3).

       You don't necessarily need to be root when using libguestfs.  However you obviously do
       need sufficient permissions to access the filename for whatever operations you want to
       perform (ie. read access if you just want to read the image or write access if you want to
       modify the image).

       This call checks that "filename" exists.

       "filename" may be the special string "/dev/null".  See "NULL DISKS" in guestfs(3).

       Додатковими аргументами є:

       "readonly"
           If true then the image is treated as read-only.  Writes are still allowed, but they
           are stored in a temporary snapshot overlay which is discarded at the end.  The disk
           that you add is not modified.

       "format"
           This forces the image format.  If you omit this (or use "guestfs_add_drive" or
           "guestfs_add_drive_ro") then the format is automatically detected.  Possible formats
           include "raw" and "qcow2".

           Automatic detection of the format opens you up to a potential security hole when
           dealing with untrusted raw-format images.  See CVE-2010-3851 and RHBZ#642934.
           Specifying the format closes this security hole.

       "iface"
           This rarely-used option lets you emulate the behaviour of the deprecated
           "guestfs_add_drive_with_if" call (q.v.)

       "name"
           The name the drive had in the original guest, e.g. "/dev/sdb".  This is used as a hint
           to the guest inspection process if it is available.

       "label"
           Give the disk a label.  The label should be a unique, short string using only ASCII
           characters "[a-zA-Z]".  As well as its usual name in the API (such as "/dev/sda"), the
           drive will also be named "/dev/disk/guestfs/label".

       "server"
           For protocols which require access to a remote server, this is a list of server(s).

            Protocol       Number of servers required
            --------       --------------------------
            file           List must be empty or param not used at all
            ftp|ftps|http|https|tftp  Exactly one
            gluster        Exactly one
            iscsi          Exactly one
            nbd            Exactly one

            sheepdog       Zero or more
            ssh            Exactly one

           Each list element is a string specifying a server.  The string must be in one of the
           following formats:

            hostname
            hostname:port
            tcp:hostname
            tcp:hostname:port
            unix:/path/to/socket

           If the port number is omitted, then the standard port number for the protocol is used
           (see "/etc/services").

       "username"
           For the "ftp", "ftps", "http", "https", "iscsi", "rbd", "ssh" and "tftp" protocols,
           this specifies the remote username.

           If not given, then the local username is used for "ssh", and no authentication is
           attempted for ceph.  But note this sometimes may give unexpected results, for example
           if using the libvirt backend and if the libvirt backend is configured to start the
           qemu appliance as a special user such as "qemu.qemu".  If in doubt, specify the remote
           username you want.

       "secret"
           For the "rbd" protocol only, this specifies the 'secret' to use when connecting to the
           remote device.

           If not given, then a secret matching the given username will be looked up in the
           default keychain locations, or if no username is given, then no authentication will be
           used.

       "cachemode"
           Choose whether or not libguestfs will obey sync operations (safe but slow) or not
           (unsafe but fast).  The possible values for this string are:

           "cachemode = "writeback""
               Типове значення.

               Write operations in the API do not return until a write(2) call has completed in
               the host [but note this does not imply that anything gets written to disk].

               Sync operations in the API, including implicit syncs caused by filesystem
               journalling, will not return until an fdatasync(2) call has completed in the host,
               indicating that data has been committed to disk.

           "cachemode = "unsafe""
               In this mode, there are no guarantees.  Libguestfs may cache anything and ignore
               sync requests.  This is suitable only for scratch or temporary disks.

       This command adds a temporary scratch drive to the handle.  The "size" parameter is the
       virtual size (in bytes).  The scratch drive is blank initially (all reads return zeroes
       until you start writing to it).  The drive is deleted when the handle is closed.

       The optional arguments "name" and "label" are passed through to "guestfs_add_drive".

       Defines a variable "name" whose value is the result of evaluating "expr".

       If "expr" evaluates to an empty nodeset, a node is created, equivalent to calling
       "guestfs_aug_set" "expr", "value".  "name" will be the nodeset containing that single
       node.

       On success this returns a pair containing the number of nodes in the nodeset, and a
       boolean flag if a node was created.

       This function returns a "struct guestfs_int_bool *", or NULL if there was an error.  The

       Create a new Augeas handle for editing configuration files.  If there was any previous
       Augeas handle associated with this guestfs session, then it is closed.

       You must call this before using any other "guestfs_aug_*" commands.

       "root" is the filesystem root.  "root" must not be NULL, use "/" instead.

       The flags are the same as the flags defined in <augeas.h>, the logical or of the following
       integers:

       "AUG_SAVE_BACKUP" = 1
           Keep the original file with a ".augsave" extension.

       Change multiple Augeas nodes in a single operation.  "base" is an expression matching
       multiple nodes.  "sub" is a path expression relative to "base".  All nodes matching "base"
       are found, and then for each node, "sub" is changed to "val".  "sub" may also be "NULL" in

        int
        guestfs_available (guestfs_h *g,
                           char *const *groups);

       This command is used to check the availability of some groups of functionality in the
       appliance, which not all builds of the libguestfs appliance will be able to provide.

       The libguestfs groups, and the functions that those groups correspond to, are listed in
       "AVAILABILITY" in guestfs(3).  You can also fetch this list at runtime by calling
       "guestfs_available_all_groups".

       The argument "groups" is a list of group names, eg: "["inotify", "augeas"]" would check
       for the availability of the Linux inotify functions and Augeas (configuration file
       editing) functions.

       The command returns no error if all requested groups are available.

       It fails with an error if one or more of the requested groups is unavailable in the
       appliance.

       If an unknown group name is included in the list of groups then an error is always
       returned.

       Нотатки:

       •   "guestfs_feature_available" is the same as this call, but with a slightly simpler to
           use API: that call returns a boolean true/false instead of throwing an error.

       •   You must call "guestfs_launch" before calling this function.

           The reason is because we don't know what groups are supported by the appliance/daemon
           until it is running and can be queried.

       •   If a group of functions is available, this does not necessarily mean that they will
           work.  You still have to check for errors when calling individual API functions even
           if they are available.

       •   It is usually the job of distro packagers to build complete functionality into the
           libguestfs appliance.  Upstream libguestfs, if built from source with all requirements
           satisfied, will support everything.

       •   This call was added in version 1.0.80.  In previous versions of libguestfs all you
           could do would be to speculatively execute a command to find out if the daemon
           implemented it.  See also "guestfs_version".

       This function is deprecated. In new code, use the "guestfs_mkfs" call instead.

       Deprecated functions will not be removed from the API, but the fact that they are
       deprecated indicates that there are problems with correct use of these functions.

       This call does nothing and has never done anything because of a bug in blockdev.  Do not
       use it.

       If you need to set the filesystem block size, use the "blocksize" option of
       "guestfs_mkfs".

   guestfs_case_sensitive_path

                                     const char *path);

       This can be used to resolve case insensitive paths on a filesystem which is case
       sensitive.  The use case is to resolve paths which you have read from Windows
       configuration files or the Windows Registry, to the true path.

       The command handles a peculiarity of the Linux ntfs-3g filesystem driver (and probably
       others), which is that although the underlying filesystem is case-insensitive, the driver
       exports the filesystem to Linux as case-sensitive.

       One consequence of this is that special directories such as "c:\windows" may appear as
       "/WINDOWS" or "/windows" (or other things) depending on the precise details of how they
       were created.  In Windows itself this would not be a problem.

       Bug or feature? You decide: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#posixfilenames1

       "guestfs_case_sensitive_path" attempts to resolve the true case of each element in the
       path. It will return a resolved path if either the full path or its parent directory
       exists. If the parent directory exists but the full path does not, the case of the parent
       directory will be correctly resolved, and the remainder appended unmodified. For example,
       if the file "/Windows/System32/netkvm.sys" exists:

       "guestfs_case_sensitive_path" ("/windows/system32/netkvm.sys")
           "Windows/System32/netkvm.sys"

       "guestfs_case_sensitive_path" ("/windows/system32/NoSuchFile")
           "Windows/System32/NoSuchFile"

       "guestfs_case_sensitive_path" ("/windows/system33/netkvm.sys")
           ERROR

       Note: Because of the above behaviour, "guestfs_case_sensitive_path" cannot be used to
       check for the existence of a file.

       Note: This function does not handle drive names, backslashes etc.

       This call computes the MD5, SHAx or CRC checksum of the file named "path".

       The type of checksum to compute is given by the "csumtype" parameter which must have one
       of the following values:

       "crc"
           Compute the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) specified by POSIX for the "cksum" command.

       "md5"
           Compute the MD5 hash (using the "md5sum" program).

       "sha1"
           Compute the SHA1 hash (using the "sha1sum" program).

       "sha224"
           Compute the SHA224 hash (using the "sha224sum" program).

       "sha256"
           Compute the SHA256 hash (using the "sha256sum" program).

       "sha512"

       The checksum is returned as a printable string.

       To get the checksum for a device, use "guestfs_checksum_device".

       To get the checksums for many files, use "guestfs_checksums_out".

       list of those checksums to the local output file "sumsfile".

       This can be used for verifying the integrity of a virtual machine.  However to be properly
       secure you should pay attention to the output of the checksum command (it uses the ones
       from GNU coreutils).  In particular when the filename is not printable, coreutils uses a
       special backslash syntax.  For more information, see the GNU coreutils info file.

       must contain a compatible operating system (ie. something Linux, with the same or
       compatible processor architecture).

       The single parameter is an argv-style list of arguments.  The first element is the name of
       the program to run.  Subsequent elements are parameters.  The list must be non-empty (ie.
       must contain a program name).  Note that the command runs directly, and is not invoked via
       the shell (see "guestfs_sh").

       The return value is anything printed to stdout by the command.

       If the command returns a non-zero exit status, then this function returns an error
       message.  The error message string is the content of stderr from the command.

       The $PATH environment variable will contain at least "/usr/bin" and "/bin".  If you
       require a program from another location, you should provide the full path in the first
       parameter.

       Shared libraries and data files required by the program must be available on filesystems
       which are mounted in the correct places.  It is the caller's responsibility to ensure all
       filesystems that are needed are mounted at the right locations.

       This function returns a string, or NULL on error.  The caller must free the returned
       string after use.

       Because of the message protocol, there is a transfer limit of somewhere between 2MB and
       4MB.  See "PROTOCOL LIMITS" in guestfs(3).

        GUESTFS_COMPRESS_OUT_LEVEL, int level,

       This command compresses "file" and writes it out to the local file "zfile".

       The compression program used is controlled by the "ctype" parameter.  Currently this
       includes: "compress", "gzip", "bzip2", "xz" or "lzop".  Some compression types may not be
       supported by particular builds of libguestfs, in which case you will get an error
       containing the substring "not supported".

       The optional "level" parameter controls compression level.  The meaning and default for
       this parameter depends on the compression program being used.

       The four calls "guestfs_copy_device_to_device", "guestfs_copy_device_to_file",
       "guestfs_copy_file_to_device", and "guestfs_copy_file_to_file" let you copy from a source
       (device|file) to a destination (device|file).

       Partial copies can be made since you can specify optionally the source offset, destination
       offset and size to copy.  These values are all specified in bytes.  If not given, the
       offsets both default to zero, and the size defaults to copying as much as possible until
       we hit the end of the source.

       The source and destination may be the same object.  However overlapping regions may not be
       copied correctly.

       If the destination is a file, it is created if required.  If the destination file is not
       large enough, it is extended.

       If the "sparse" flag is true then the call avoids writing blocks that contain only zeroes,
       which can help in some situations where the backing disk is thin-provisioned.  Note that
       unless the target is already zeroed, using this option will result in incorrect copying.

       This command copies from one source device or file "src" to another destination device or
       file "dest".  Normally you would use this to copy to or from a device or partition, for
       example to duplicate a filesystem.

       If the destination is a device, it must be as large or larger than the source file or
       device, otherwise the copy will fail.  This command cannot do partial copies (see

       This call uses the standard file(1) command to determine the type or contents of the file.

       This call will also transparently look inside various types of compressed file.

       The exact command which runs is "file -zb path".  Note in particular that the filename is
       not prepended to the output (the -b option).

       The output depends on the output of the underlying file(1) command and it can change in
       future in ways beyond our control.  In other words, the output is not guaranteed by the
       ABI.

           x86 vmlinuz images (bzImage format) consist of a mix of 16-, 32- and compressed code,
           and are horribly hard to unpack.  If you want to find the architecture of a kernel,

       Check whether libguestfs supports the named filesystem.  The argument "filesystem" is a
       filesystem name, such as "ext3".

       You must call "guestfs_launch" before using this command.

       This is mainly useful as a negative test.  If this returns true, it doesn't mean that a
       particular filesystem can be created or mounted, since filesystems can fail for other
       reasons such as it being a later version of the filesystem, or having incompatible
       features, or lacking the right mkfs.<fs> tool.

       See also "guestfs_available", "guestfs_feature_available", "AVAILABILITY" in guestfs(3).

                      const char *path);

       This command creates a new file called "path".  The initial content of the file is "len"
       octets of "c", where "c" must be a number in the range "[0..255]".

       To fill a file with zero bytes (sparsely), it is much more efficient to use
       "guestfs_truncate_size".  To create a file with a pattern of repeating bytes use
       "guestfs_fill_pattern".

                              const char *path);

       This function is like "guestfs_fill" except that it creates a new file of length "len"
       containing the repeating pattern of bytes in "pattern".  The pattern is truncated if
       necessary to ensure the length of the file is exactly "len" bytes.

        guestfs_find (guestfs_h *g,

       This command lists out all files and directories, recursively, starting at "directory".
       It is essentially equivalent to running the shell command "find directory -print" but some
       post-processing happens on the output, described below.

       This returns a list of strings without any prefix.  Thus if the directory structure was:

        /tmp/a
        /tmp/b
        /tmp/c/d

       then the returned list from "guestfs_find" "/tmp" would be 4 elements:

        a
        b
        c
        c/d

       If "directory" is not a directory, then this command returns an error.

       This command lists out all files and directories, recursively, starting at "directory",
       placing the resulting list in the external file called "files".

       This command works the same way as "guestfs_find" with the following exceptions:

       •   The resulting list is written to an external file.

        GUESTFS_FSTRIM_MINIMUMFREEEXTENT, int64_t minimumfreeextent,

       Trim the free space in the filesystem mounted on "mountpoint".  The filesystem must be
       mounted read-write.

       The filesystem contents are not affected, but any free space in the filesystem is
       "trimmed", that is, given back to the host device, thus making disk images more sparse,
       allowing unused space in qcow2 files to be reused, etc.

       This operation requires support in libguestfs, the mounted filesystem, the host
       filesystem, qemu and the host kernel.  If this support isn't present it may give an error
       or even appear to run but do nothing.

       See also "guestfs_zero_free_space".  That is a slightly different operation that turns
       free space in the filesystem into zeroes.  It is valid to call "guestfs_fstrim" either
       instead of, or after calling "guestfs_zero_free_space".

       This returns the file attributes associated with "file".

       The attributes are a set of bits associated with each inode which affect the behaviour of
       the file.  The attributes are returned as a string of letters (described below).  The

       'c' Файл стиснено на диску.

       'D' (Directories only.)  Changes to this directory are written synchronously to disk.

       'd' The file is not a candidate for backup (see dump(8)).

       'E' The file has compression errors.

       'e' The file is using extents.

       'h' The file is storing its blocks in units of the filesystem blocksize instead of
           sectors.

       'I' (Directories only.)  The directory is using hashed trees.

       'i' The file is immutable.  It cannot be modified, deleted or renamed.  No link can be
           created to this file.

       'j' The file is data-journaled.

       's' When the file is deleted, all its blocks will be zeroed.

       'S' Changes to this file are written synchronously to disk.

       'T' (Directories only.)  This is a hint to the block allocator that subdirectories
           contained in this directory should be spread across blocks.  If not present, the block
           allocator will try to group subdirectories together.

       't' For a file, this disables tail-merging.  (Not used by upstream implementations of
           ext2.)

       'u' When the file is deleted, its blocks will be saved, allowing the file to be undeleted.

       'X' The raw contents of the compressed file may be accessed.

       'Z' The compressed file is dirty.

       More file attributes may be added to this list later.  Not all file attributes may be set
       for all kinds of files.  For detailed information, consult the chattr(1) man page.

       Get a single extended attribute from file "path" named "name".  This call follows
       symlinks.  If you want to lookup an extended attribute for the symlink itself, use
       "guestfs_lgetxattr".

       Normally it is better to get all extended attributes from a file in one go by calling
       "guestfs_getxattrs".  However some Linux filesystem implementations are buggy and do not
       provide a way to list out attributes.  For these filesystems (notably ntfs-3g)  you have
       to know the names of the extended attributes you want in advance and call this function.

       This command searches for all the pathnames matching "pattern" according to the wildcard
       expansion rules used by the shell.

       If no paths match, then this returns an empty list (note: not an error).

       It is just a wrapper around the C glob(3) function with flags "GLOB_MARK|GLOB_BRACE".  See

       Notice that there is no equivalent command for expanding a device name (eg. "/dev/sd*").

       The optional flags are:

       "extended"
           Use extended regular expressions.  This is the same as using the -E flag.

       "fixed"
           Match fixed (don't use regular expressions).  This is the same as using the -F flag.

       "insensitive"
           Match case-insensitive.  This is the same as using the -i flag.

       "compressed"
           Use "zgrep" instead of "grep".  This allows the input to be compress- or gzip-
           compressed.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (like environ(3)), or NULL if

       This command installs GRUB 1 (the Grand Unified Bootloader) on "device", with the root
       directory being "root".

       Нотатки:

       •   There is currently no way in the API to install grub2, which is used by most modern
           Linux guests.  It is possible to run the grub2 command from the guest, although see
           the caveats in "RUNNING COMMANDS" in guestfs(3).

       •   This uses "grub-install" from the host.  Unfortunately grub is not always compatible
           with itself, so this only works in rather narrow circumstances.  Careful testing with
           each guest version is advisable.

       •   If grub-install reports the error "No suitable drive was found in the generated device
           map." it may be that you need to create a "/boot/grub/device.map" file first that
           contains the mapping between grub device names and Linux device names.  It is usually
           sufficient to create a file containing:

            (hd0) /dev/vda

           replacing "/dev/vda" with the name of the installation device.

       This calls "guestfs_hivex_value_value" (which returns the data field from a hivex value
       tuple).  It then assumes that the field is a UTF-16LE string and converts the result to
       UTF-8 (or if this is not possible, it returns an error).

       This is useful for reading strings out of the Windows registry.  However it is not

       This command unpacks the file "filename" from the initrd file called "initrdpath".  The
       filename must be given without the initial "/" character.

       For example, in guestfish you could use the following command to examine the boot script
       (usually called "/init")  contained in a Linux initrd or initramfs image:

       Watch "path" for the events listed in "mask".

       Note that if "path" is a directory then events within that directory are watched, but this
       does not happen recursively (in subdirectories).

       This command creates a new inotify handle.  The inotify subsystem can be used to notify
       events which happen to objects in the guest filesystem.

       "maxevents" is the maximum number of events which will be queued up between calls to
       "guestfs_inotify_read" or "guestfs_inotify_files".  If this is passed as 0, then the
       kernel (or previously set)  default is used.  For Linux 2.6.29 the default was 16384
       events.  Beyond this limit, the kernel throws away events, but records the fact that it
       threw them away by setting a flag "IN_Q_OVERFLOW" in the returned structure list (see
       "guestfs_inotify_read").

       Before any events are generated, you have to add some watches to the internal watch list.
       See: "guestfs_inotify_add_watch" and "guestfs_inotify_rm_watch".

       Queued up events should be read periodically by calling "guestfs_inotify_read" (or
       "guestfs_inotify_files" which is just a helpful wrapper around "guestfs_inotify_read").
       If you don't read the events out often enough then you risk the internal queue
       overflowing.

       The handle should be closed after use by calling "guestfs_inotify_close".  This also
       removes any watches automatically.

       See also inotify(7) for an overview of the inotify interface as exposed by the Linux
       kernel, which is roughly what we expose via libguestfs.  Note that there is one global
       inotify handle per libguestfs instance.

                                            const char *root);

       This call is useful for Windows which uses a primitive system of assigning drive letters
       (like "C:") to partitions.  This inspection API examines the Windows Registry to find out
       how disks/partitions are mapped to drive letters, and returns a hash table as in the
       example below:

        C      =>     /dev/vda2
        E      =>     /dev/vdb1
        F      =>     /dev/vdc1

       Note that keys are drive letters.  For Windows, the key is case insensitive and just
       contains the drive letter, without the customary colon separator character.

       In future we may support other operating systems that also used drive letters, but the
       keys for those might not be case insensitive and might be longer than 1 character.  For
       example in OS-9, hard drives were named "h0", "h1" etc.

       For Windows guests, currently only hard drive mappings are returned.  Removable disks (eg.
       DVD-ROMs) are ignored.

       For guests that do not use drive mappings, or if the drive mappings could not be
       determined, this returns an empty hash table.

       "guestfs_inspect_get_mountpoints", "guestfs_inspect_get_filesystems".

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings, or NULL if there was an error.

           The disk image being inspected is not an installed operating system, but a bootable
           install disk, live CD, or similar.

       "unknown"
           The format of this disk image is not known.

       Future versions of libguestfs may return other strings here.  The caller should be

       You may supply a list of optional arguments to this call.  Use zero or more of the
       following pairs of parameters, and terminate the list with "-1" on its own.  See "CALLS
       WITH OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS".

        GUESTFS_INSPECT_GET_ICON_FAVICON, int favicon,
        GUESTFS_INSPECT_GET_ICON_HIGHQUALITY, int highquality,

       This function returns an icon corresponding to the inspected operating system.  The icon
       is returned as a buffer containing a PNG image (re-encoded to PNG if necessary).

       If it was not possible to get an icon this function returns a zero-length (non-NULL)
       buffer.  Callers must check for this case.

       Libguestfs will start by looking for a file called "/etc/favicon.png" or
       "C:\etc\favicon.png" and if it has the correct format, the contents of this file will be
       returned.  You can disable favicons by passing the optional "favicon" boolean as false
       (default is true).

       If finding the favicon fails, then we look in other places in the guest for a suitable
       icon.

       If the optional "highquality" boolean is true then only high quality icons are returned,
       which means only icons of high resolution with an alpha channel.  The default (false) is
       to return any icon we can, even if it is of substandard quality.

       Нотатки:

       •   Unlike most other inspection API calls, the guest's disks must be mounted up before
           you call this, since it needs to read information from the guest filesystem during the
           call.

       •   Security: The icon data comes from the untrusted guest, and should be treated with
           caution.  PNG files have been known to contain exploits.  Ensure that libpng (or other
           relevant libraries) are fully up to date before trying to process or display the icon.

       •   The PNG image returned can be any size.  It might not be square.  Libguestfs tries to
           return the largest, highest quality icon available.  The application must scale the
           icon to the required size.

       •   Extracting icons from Windows guests requires the external "wrestool" program from the
           "icoutils" package, and several programs ("bmptopnm", "pnmtopng", "pamcut")  from the
           "netpbm" package.  These must be installed separately.

       •   Operating system icons are usually trademarks.  Seek legal advice before using
           trademarks in applications.

       This function returns a buffer, or NULL on error.  The size of the returned buffer is
       written to *size_r.  The caller must free the returned buffer after use.

       This returns the major version number of the inspected operating system.

       Windows uses a consistent versioning scheme which is not reflected in the popular public
       names used by the operating system.  Notably the operating system known as "Windows 7" is
       really version 6.1 (ie. major = 6, minor = 1).  You can find out the real versions
       corresponding to releases of Windows by consulting Wikipedia or MSDN.

       If the version could not be determined, then 0 is returned.

                                         const char *root);

       This returns a hash of where we think the filesystems associated with this operating
       system should be mounted.  Callers should note that this is at best an educated guess made
       by reading configuration files such as "/etc/fstab".  In particular note that this may
       return filesystems which are non-existent or not mountable and callers should be prepared
       to handle or ignore failures if they try to mount them.

       Each element in the returned hashtable has a key which is the path of the mountpoint (eg.
       "/boot") and a value which is the filesystem that would be mounted there (eg.
       "/dev/sda1").

       Non-mounted devices such as swap devices are not returned in this list.

       For operating systems like Windows which still use drive letters, this call will only
       return an entry for the first drive "mounted on" "/".  For information about the mapping
       of drive letters to partitions, see "guestfs_inspect_get_drive_mappings".

       Please read "INSPECTION" in guestfs(3) for more details.  See also
       "guestfs_inspect_get_filesystems".

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings, or NULL if there was an error.
       The array of strings will always have length "2n+1", where "n" keys and values alternate,
       followed by the trailing NULL entry.  The caller must free the strings and the array after
       use.

       This function and "guestfs_inspect_get_package_management" return the package format and
       package management tool used by the inspected operating system.  For example for Fedora
       these functions would return "rpm" (package format) and "yum" (package management).

       This returns the string "unknown" if we could not determine the package format or if the
       operating system does not have a real packaging system (eg. Windows).

       Possible strings include: "rpm", "deb", "ebuild", "pisi", "pacman", "pkgsrc".  Future

       This returns the product variant of the inspected operating system.

       For Windows guests, this returns the contents of the Registry key
       "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" "InstallationType" which is usually a
       string such as "Client" or "Server" (other values are possible).  This can be used to
       distinguish consumer and enterprise versions of Windows that have the same version number
       (for example, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server are both version 6.1, but the former is
       "Client" and the latter is "Server").

       For enterprise Linux guests, in future we intend this to return the product variant such
       as "Desktop", "Server" and so on.  But this is not implemented at present.

       If the product variant could not be determined, then the string "unknown" is returned.

       This function is deprecated. In new code, use the "guestfs_inspect_list_applications2"
       call instead.

       Deprecated functions will not be removed from the API, but the fact that they are
       deprecated indicates that there are problems with correct use of these functions.

       Return the list of applications installed in the operating system.

       Note: This call works differently from other parts of the inspection API.  You have to
       call "guestfs_inspect_os", then "guestfs_inspect_get_mountpoints", then mount up the
       disks, before calling this.  Listing applications is a significantly more difficult
       operation which requires access to the full filesystem.  Also note that unlike the other
       "guestfs_inspect_get_*" calls which are just returning data cached in the libguestfs
       handle, this call actually reads parts of the mounted filesystems during the call.

       This returns an empty list if the inspection code was not able to determine the list of
       applications.

       The application structure contains the following fields:

       "app_name"
           The name of the application.  For Red Hat-derived and Debian-derived Linux guests,
           this is the package name.

       "app_display_name"
           The display name of the application, sometimes localized to the install language of
           the guest operating system.

           If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".  Callers needing to display
           something can use "app_name" instead.

       "app_epoch"
           For package managers which use epochs, this contains the epoch of the package (an
           integer).  If unavailable, this is returned as 0.

       "app_version"
           The version string of the application or package.  If unavailable this is returned as
           an empty string "".

       "app_release"
           The release string of the application or package, for package managers that use this.
           If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app_install_path"
           The installation path of the application (on operating systems such as Windows which
           use installation paths).  This path is in the format used by the guest operating
           system, it is not a libguestfs path.

           If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app_trans_path"
           The install path translated into a libguestfs path.  If unavailable this is returned
           as an empty string "".

       "app_publisher"
           The name of the publisher of the application, for package managers that use this.  If
           unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app_url"
           The URL (eg. upstream URL) of the application.  If unavailable this is returned as an
           empty string "".

       "app_source_package"
           For packaging systems which support this, the name of the source package.  If
           unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app_summary"
           A short (usually one line) description of the application or package.  If unavailable
           this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app_description"
           A longer description of the application or package.  If unavailable this is returned

       Note: This call works differently from other parts of the inspection API.  You have to
       call "guestfs_inspect_os", then "guestfs_inspect_get_mountpoints", then mount up the
       disks, before calling this.  Listing applications is a significantly more difficult
       operation which requires access to the full filesystem.  Also note that unlike the other
       "guestfs_inspect_get_*" calls which are just returning data cached in the libguestfs
       handle, this call actually reads parts of the mounted filesystems during the call.

       This returns an empty list if the inspection code was not able to determine the list of
       applications.

       The application structure contains the following fields:

       "app2_name"
           The name of the application.  For Red Hat-derived and Debian-derived Linux guests,
           this is the package name.

       "app2_display_name"
           The display name of the application, sometimes localized to the install language of
           the guest operating system.

           If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".  Callers needing to display
           something can use "app2_name" instead.

       "app2_epoch"
           For package managers which use epochs, this contains the epoch of the package (an
           integer).  If unavailable, this is returned as 0.

       "app2_version"
           The version string of the application or package.  If unavailable this is returned as
           an empty string "".

       "app2_release"
           The release string of the application or package, for package managers that use this.
           If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app2_arch"
           The architecture string of the application or package, for package managers that use
           this.  If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app2_install_path"
           The installation path of the application (on operating systems such as Windows which
           use installation paths).  This path is in the format used by the guest operating
           system, it is not a libguestfs path.

           If unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app2_trans_path"
           The install path translated into a libguestfs path.  If unavailable this is returned
           as an empty string "".

       "app2_publisher"
           The name of the publisher of the application, for package managers that use this.  If
           unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app2_url"
           The URL (eg. upstream URL) of the application.  If unavailable this is returned as an
           empty string "".

       "app2_source_package"
           For packaging systems which support this, the name of the source package.  If
           unavailable this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app2_summary"
           A short (usually one line) description of the application or package.  If unavailable
           this is returned as an empty string "".

       "app2_description"
           A longer description of the application or package.  If unavailable this is returned
           as an empty string "".

       This function returns a "struct guestfs_application2_list *", or NULL if there was an
       error.  The caller must call "guestfs_free_application2_list" after use.

   guestfs_inspect_os
        char **
        guestfs_inspect_os (guestfs_h *g);

       This function uses other libguestfs functions and certain heuristics to inspect the
       disk(s) (usually disks belonging to a virtual machine), looking for operating systems.

       The list returned is empty if no operating systems were found.

       If one operating system was found, then this returns a list with a single element, which
       is the name of the root filesystem of this operating system.  It is also possible for this
       function to return a list containing more than one element, indicating a dual-boot or
       multi-boot virtual machine, with each element being the root filesystem of one of the
       operating systems.

       You can pass the root string(s) returned to other "guestfs_inspect_get_*" functions in
       order to query further information about each operating system, such as the name and
       version.

       This function uses other libguestfs features such as "guestfs_mount_ro" and
       "guestfs_umount_all" in order to mount and unmount filesystems and look at the contents.
       This should be called with no disks currently mounted.  The function may also use Augeas,
       so any existing Augeas handle will be closed.

       This function cannot decrypt encrypted disks.  The caller must do that first (supplying
       the necessary keys) if the disk is encrypted.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (like environ(3)), or NULL if

       This returns "true" if and only if "device" refers to a whole block device. That is, not a
       partition or a logical device.

       This function returns a C truth value on success or -1 on error.

       This is the same as "guestfs_isoinfo_device" except that it works for an ISO file located
       inside some other mounted filesystem.  Note that in the common case where you have added
       an ISO file as a libguestfs device, you would not call this.  Instead you would call
       "guestfs_isoinfo_device".

        guestfs_isoinfo_device (guestfs_h *g,

       "device" is an ISO device.  This returns a struct of information read from the primary
       volume descriptor (the ISO equivalent of the superblock) of the device.

       Usually it is more efficient to use the isoinfo(1) command with the -d option on the host
       to analyze ISO files, instead of going through libguestfs.

        guestfs_journal_get (guestfs_h *g);

       Read the current journal entry.  This returns all the fields in the journal as a set of
       "(attrname, attrval)" pairs.  The "attrname" is the field name (a string).

       The "attrval" is the field value (a binary blob, often but not always a string).  Please
       note that "attrval" is a byte array, not a \0-terminated C string.

       The length of data may be truncated to the data threshold (see:
       "guestfs_journal_set_data_threshold", "guestfs_journal_get_data_threshold").

       If you set the data threshold to unlimited (0) then this call can read a journal entry of

       handle before you are able to read data.

       The returned boolean tells you if there are any more journal records to read.  "true"
       means you can read the next record (eg. using "guestfs_journal_get_data"), and "false"
       means you have reached the end of the journal.

       This inspection command looks for filesystems on partitions, block devices and logical
       volumes, returning a list of "mountables" containing filesystems and their type.

       The return value is a hash, where the keys are the devices containing filesystems, and the
       values are the filesystem types.  For example:

        "/dev/sda1" => "ntfs"

        "/dev/vg_guest/lv_root" => "ext4"

       The key is not necessarily a block device. It may also be an opaque 'mountable' string
       which can be passed to "guestfs_mount".

       The value can have the special value "unknown", meaning the content of the device is
       undetermined or empty.  "swap" means a Linux swap partition.

       This command runs other libguestfs commands, which might include "guestfs_mount" and
       "guestfs_umount", and therefore you should use this soon after launch and only when
       nothing is mounted.

       Not all of the filesystems returned will be mountable.  In particular, swap partitions are
       returned in the list.  Also this command does not check that each filesystem found is
       valid and mountable, and some filesystems might be mountable but require special options.
       Filesystems may not all belong to a single logical operating system (use
       "guestfs_inspect_os" to look for OSes).

       "device" is the encrypted block device or partition.

       The caller must supply one of the keys associated with the LUKS block device, in the "key"
       parameter.

       This creates a new block device called "/dev/mapper/mapname".  Reads and writes to this
       block device are decrypted from and encrypted to the underlying "device" respectively.

       If this block device contains LVM volume groups, then calling "guestfs_vgscan" followed by

       This sets the LVM device filter so that LVM will only be able to "see" the block devices
       in the list "devices", and will ignore all other attached block devices.

       Where disk image(s) contain duplicate PVs or VGs, this command is useful to get LVM to
       ignore the duplicates, otherwise LVM can get confused.  Note also there are two types of
       duplication possible: either cloned PVs/VGs which have identical UUIDs; or VGs that are
       not cloned but just happen to have the same name.  In normal operation you cannot create
       this situation, but you can do it outside LVM, eg.  by cloning disk images or by bit
       twiddling inside the LVM metadata.

       This command also clears the LVM cache and performs a volume group scan.

       You can filter whole block devices or individual partitions.

       This returns a list of the logical volume device names (eg. "/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00").

       Див. також "guestfs_lvs_full", "guestfs_list_filesystems".

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (like environ(3)), or NULL if
       there was an error.  The caller must free the strings and the array after use.

                            char *const *names);

       This call allows you to get the extended attributes of multiple files, where all files are
       in the directory "path".  "names" is the list of files from this directory.

       On return you get a flat list of xattr structs which must be interpreted sequentially.
       The first xattr struct always has a zero-length "attrname".  "attrval" in this struct is
       zero-length to indicate there was an error doing "lgetxattr" for this file, or is a C
       string which is a decimal number (the number of following attributes for this file, which
       could be "0").  Then after the first xattr struct are the zero or more attributes for the
       first named file.  This repeats for the second and subsequent files.

       This call is intended for programs that want to efficiently list a directory contents
       without making many round-trips.  See also "guestfs_lstatlist" for a similarly efficient
       call for getting standard stats.

       This function returns a "struct guestfs_xattr_list *", or NULL if there was an error.  The
       caller must call "guestfs_free_xattr_list" after use.

        GUESTFS_MD_CREATE_LEVEL, const char *level,

       Create a Linux md (RAID) device named "name" on the devices in the list "devices".

       Додатковими параметрами є:

       "missingbitmap"
           A bitmap of missing devices.  If a bit is set it means that a missing device is added
           to the array.  The least significant bit corresponds to the first device in the array.

           As examples:

           If "devices = ["/dev/sda"]" and "missingbitmap = 0x1" then the resulting array would
           be "[<missing>, "/dev/sda"]".

           If "devices = ["/dev/sda"]" and "missingbitmap = 0x2" then the resulting array would
           be "["/dev/sda", <missing>]".

           This defaults to 0 (no missing devices).

           The length of "devices" + the number of bits set in "missingbitmap" must equal
           "nrdevices" + "spare".

       "nrdevices"
           The number of active RAID devices.

           If not set, this defaults to the length of "devices" plus the number of bits set in
           "missingbitmap".

       "spare"
           The number of spare devices.

           If not set, this defaults to 0.

       "chunk"
           The chunk size in bytes.

       "level"
           The RAID level, which can be one of: linear, raid0, 0, stripe, raid1, 1, mirror,
           raid4, 4, raid5, 5, raid6, 6, raid10, 10.  Some of these are synonymous, and more
           levels may be added in future.

           If not set, this defaults to "raid1".

       This command exposes the output of 'mdadm -DY <md>'.  The following fields are usually
       present in the returned hash.  Other fields may also be present.

       "level"
           The raid level of the MD device.

       "devices"
           The number of underlying devices in the MD device.

       "metadata"
           The metadata version used.

       "uuid"
           The UUID of the MD device.

       "name"
           The name of the MD device.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings, or NULL if there was an error.
       The array of strings will always have length "2n+1", where "n" keys and values alternate,
       followed by the trailing NULL entry.  The caller must free the strings and the array after
       use.

           The name of the underlying device.

       "mdstat_index"
           The index of this device within the array.

       "mdstat_flags"
           Flags associated with this device.  This is a string containing (in no specific order)
           zero or more of the following flags:

           "W" write-mostly

           "F" пристрій працює з помилками

       Додатковими аргументами є:

       "blocksize"
           The filesystem block size.  Supported block sizes depend on the filesystem type, but
           typically they are 1024, 2048 or 4096 for Linux ext2/3 filesystems.

           For VFAT and NTFS the "blocksize" parameter is treated as the requested cluster size.

           For UFS block sizes, please see mkfs.ufs(8).

       "features"
           This passes the -O parameter to the external mkfs program.

           For certain filesystem types, this allows extra filesystem features to be selected.
           See mke2fs(8) and mkfs.ufs(8) for more details.

           You cannot use this optional parameter with the "gfs" or "gfs2" filesystem type.

       "inode"
           This passes the -I parameter to the external mke2fs(8) program which sets the inode
           size (only for ext2/3/4 filesystems at present).

       "sectorsize"
           This passes the -S parameter to external mkfs.ufs(8) program, which sets sector size
           for ufs filesystem.

        guestfs_mkmountpoint (guestfs_h *g,
                              const char *exemptpath);

       "guestfs_mkmountpoint" and "guestfs_rmmountpoint" are specialized calls that can be used
       to create extra mountpoints before mounting the first filesystem.

       These calls are only necessary in some very limited circumstances, mainly the case where
       you want to mount a mix of unrelated and/or read-only filesystems together.

       For example, live CDs often contain a "Russian doll" nest of filesystems, an ISO outer
       layer, with a squashfs image inside, with an ext2/3 image inside that.  You can unpack
       this as follows in guestfish:

        add-ro Fedora-11-i686-Live.iso
        run
        mkmountpoint /cd
        mkmountpoint /sqsh
        mkmountpoint /ext3fs
        mount /dev/sda /cd
        mount-loop /cd/LiveOS/squashfs.img /sqsh
        mount-loop /sqsh/LiveOS/ext3fs.img /ext3fs

       The inner filesystem is now unpacked under the /ext3fs mountpoint.

       "guestfs_mkmountpoint" is not compatible with "guestfs_umount_all".  You may get
       unexpected errors if you try to mix these calls.  It is safest to manually unmount
       filesystems and remove mountpoints after use.

       "guestfs_umount_all" unmounts filesystems by sorting the paths longest first, so for this
       to work for manual mountpoints, you must ensure that the innermost mountpoints have the
       longest pathnames, as in the example code above.

       For more details see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599503

       Autosync [see "guestfs_set_autosync", this is set by default on handles] can cause
       "guestfs_umount_all" to be called when the handle is closed which can also trigger these
       issues.

       This call creates block or character special devices, or named pipes (FIFOs).

       The "mode" parameter should be the mode, using the standard constants.  "devmajor" and
       "devminor" are the device major and minor numbers, only used when creating block and
       character special devices.

       Note that, just like mknod(2), the mode must be bitwise OR'd with S_IFBLK, S_IFCHR,
       S_IFIFO or S_IFSOCK (otherwise this call just creates a regular file).  These constants
       are available in the standard Linux header files, or you can use "guestfs_mknod_b",
       "guestfs_mknod_c" or "guestfs_mkfifo" which are wrappers around this command which bitwise
       OR in the appropriate constant for you.

       Mount a guest disk at a position in the filesystem.  Block devices are named "/dev/sda",

       partitions, they will have the usual names (eg. "/dev/sda1").  Also LVM "/dev/VG/LV"-style
       names can be used, or 'mountable' strings returned by "guestfs_list_filesystems" or
       "guestfs_inspect_get_mountpoints".

       others can be mounted.  Other filesystems can only be mounted on directories which already
       exist.

       program might need to work with older versions of libguestfs, use "guestfs_mount_options"
       instead (using an empty string for the first parameter if you don't want any options).

        GUESTFS_MOUNT_LOCAL_DEBUGCALLS, int debugcalls,

       This call exports the libguestfs-accessible filesystem to a local mountpoint (directory)
       called "localmountpoint".  Ordinary reads and writes to files and directories under
       "localmountpoint" are redirected through libguestfs.

       If the optional "readonly" flag is set to true, then writes to the filesystem return error
       "EROFS".

       "options" is a comma-separated list of mount options.  See guestmount(1) for some useful
       options.

       "cachetimeout" sets the timeout (in seconds) for cached directory entries.  The default is
       60 seconds.  See guestmount(1) for further information.

       If "debugcalls" is set to true, then additional debugging information is generated for
       every FUSE call.

       When "guestfs_mount_local" returns, the filesystem is ready, but is not processing
       requests (access to it will block).  You have to call "guestfs_mount_local_run" to run the
       main loop.

       This should only be called after "guestfs_mount_local" returns successfully.  The call
       will not return until the filesystem is unmounted.

       Note you must not make concurrent libguestfs calls on the same handle from another thread.

       You may call this from a different thread than the one which called "guestfs_mount_local",
       subject to the usual rules for threads and libguestfs (see "MULTIPLE HANDLES AND MULTIPLE

       "розмір"
           The new size (in bytes) of the filesystem.  If omitted, the filesystem is resized to
           fit the container (eg. partition).

       "force"
           If this option is true, then force the resize of the filesystem even if the filesystem
           is marked as requiring a consistency check.

           After the resize operation, the filesystem is always marked as requiring a consistency
           check (for safety).  You have to boot into Windows to perform this check and clear
           this condition.  If you don't set the "force" option then it is not possible to call

       Parse the list of strings in the argument "environment" and set flags in the handle
       accordingly.  For example if "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1" is a string in the list, then the
       'verbose' flag is set in the handle.

       This is the same as "guestfs_parse_environment" except that it parses an explicit list of
       strings instead of the program's environment.

                          int64_t endsect);

       This command adds a partition to "device".  If there is no partition table on the device,
       call "guestfs_part_init" first.

       The "prlogex" parameter is the type of partition.  Normally you should pass "p" or
       "primary" here, but MBR partition tables also support "l" (or "logical") and "e" (or
       "extended") partition types.

       "startsect" and "endsect" are the start and end of the partition in sectors.  "endsect"
       may be negative, which means it counts backwards from the end of the disk ("-1" is the
       last sector).

       Creating a partition which covers the whole disk is not so easy.  Use "guestfs_part_disk"
       to do that.

       This command examines the partition table on "device" and returns the partition table type
       (format) being used.

       Common return values include: "msdos" (a DOS/Windows style MBR partition table), "gpt" (a

       This creates an empty partition table on "device" of one of the partition types listed
       below.  Usually "parttype" should be either "msdos" or "gpt" (for large disks).

       Initially there are no partitions.  Following this, you should call "guestfs_part_add" for
       each partition required.

       Possible values for "parttype" are:

       efi
       gpt Intel EFI / GPT partition table.

           This is recommended for >= 2 TB partitions that will be accessed from Linux and Intel-
           based Mac OS X.  It also has limited backwards compatibility with the "mbr" format.

       mbr
       msdos
           The standard PC "Master Boot Record" (MBR) format used by MS-DOS and Windows.  This
           partition type will only work for device sizes up to 2 TB.  For large disks we
           recommend using "gpt".

       This command writes to part of a device.  It writes the data buffer "content" to "device"
       starting at offset "offset".

       This command implements the pwrite(2) system call, and like that system call it may not
       write the full data requested (although short writes to disk devices and partitions are
       probably impossible with standard Linux kernels).

       This calls returns the contents of the file "path" as a buffer.

       Unlike "guestfs_cat", this function can correctly handle files that contain embedded ASCII
       NUL characters.

       This function returns a buffer, or NULL on error.  The size of the returned buffer is
       written to *size_r.  The caller must free the returned buffer after use.

       Return the contents of the file named "path".

       The file contents are returned as a list of lines.  Trailing "LF" and "CRLF" character
       sequences are not returned.

       Note that this function cannot correctly handle binary files (specifically, files
       containing "\0" character which is treated as end of string).  For those you need to use
       the "guestfs_read_file" function and split the buffer into lines yourself.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (like environ(3)), or NULL if
       there was an error.  The caller must free the strings and the array after use.

        guestfs_readdir (guestfs_h *g,

       This returns the list of directory entries in directory "dir".

       All entries in the directory are returned, including "." and "..".  The entries are not
       sorted, but returned in the same order as the underlying filesystem.

       Also this call returns basic file type information about each file.  The "ftyp" field will
       contain one of the following characters:

       'b' Блоковий особливий

       'c' Символьний особливий

       'd' Каталог

       This function is primarily intended for use by programs.  To get a simple list of names,
       use "guestfs_ls".  To get a printable directory for human consumption, use "guestfs_ll".

       This function returns a "struct guestfs_dirent_list *", or NULL if there was an error.

                              char *const *names);

       This call allows you to do a "readlink" operation on multiple files, where all files are
       in the directory "path".  "names" is the list of files from this directory.

       On return you get a list of strings, with a one-to-one correspondence to the "names" list.
       Each string is the value of the symbolic link.

       If the readlink(2) operation fails on any name, then the corresponding result string is
       the empty string "".  However the whole operation is completed even if there were
       readlink(2) errors, and so you can call this function with names where you don't know if
       they are symbolic links already (albeit slightly less efficient).

       This call is intended for programs that want to efficiently list a directory contents
       without making many round-trips.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (like environ(3)), or NULL if
       there was an error.  The caller must free the strings and the array after use.

        GUESTFS_REMOUNT_RW, int rw,

       This call allows you to change the "rw" (readonly/read-write)  flag on an already mounted
       filesystem at "mountpoint", converting a readonly filesystem to be read-write, or vice-
       versa.

       Note that at the moment you must supply the "optional" "rw" parameter.  In future we may

       This function is conceptually the opposite of "guestfs_add_drive_opts".  It removes the
       drive that was previously added with label "label".

       Note that in order to remove drives, you have to add them with labels (see the optional
       "label" argument to "guestfs_add_drive_opts").  If you didn't use a label, then they
       cannot be removed.

       You can call this function before or after launching the handle.  If called after launch,
       if the backend supports it, we try to hot unplug the drive: see "HOTPLUGGING" in
       guestfs(3).  The disk must not be in use (eg. mounted) when you do this.  We try to detect
       if the disk is in use and stop you from doing this.

       This function is used to add additional options to the guest kernel command line.

       The default is "NULL" unless overridden by setting "LIBGUESTFS_APPEND" environment
       variable.

       Setting "append" to "NULL" means no additional options are passed (libguestfs always adds

       to make filesystems consistent and synchronized when the handle is closed (also if the
       program exits without closing handles).

       Set the directory used by the handle to store the appliance cache, when using a supermin
       appliance.  The appliance is cached and shared between all handles which have the same
       effective user ID.

       The environment variables "LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR" and "TMPDIR" control the default value: If
       "LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR" is set, then that is the default.  Else if "TMPDIR" is set, then

       One consequence of this is that log messages aren't caught by the library and handled by

       WITH OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS".

        GUESTFS_SET_E2ATTRS_CLEAR, int clear,

       This sets or clears the file attributes "attrs" associated with the inode "file".

       "attrs" is a string of characters representing file attributes.  See "guestfs_get_e2attrs"
       for a list of possible attributes.  Not all attributes can be changed.

       If optional boolean "clear" is not present or false, then the "attrs" listed are set in
       the inode.

       If "clear" is true, then the "attrs" listed are cleared in the inode.

       In both cases, other attributes not present in the "attrs" string are left unchanged.

       These attributes are only present when the file is located on an ext2/3/4 filesystem.
       Using this call on other filesystem types will result in an error.

       You can also override this by setting the "LIBGUESTFS_HV" environment variable.

       Note that you should call this function as early as possible after creating the handle.
       This is because some pre-launch operations depend on testing qemu features (by running
       "qemu -help").  If the qemu binary changes, we don't retest features, and so you might see
       inconsistent results.  Using the environment variable "LIBGUESTFS_HV" is safest of all

       The practical upshot of this is that signals like "SIGINT" (from users pressing "^C")
       won't be received by the child process.

       The default for this flag is false, because usually you want "^C" to kill the subprocess.

       If this is called with the parameter "false" then "guestfs_launch" does not create a

       processes in the case where the main program aborts abruptly.

       This only has any effect if called before "guestfs_launch", and the default is true.

       About the only time when you would want to disable this is if the main process will fork
       itself into the background ("daemonize" itself).  In this case the recovery process thinks
       that the main program has disappeared and so kills the hypervisor, which is not very

       If you want to trace C API calls into libguestfs (and other libraries) then possibly a
       better way is to use the external ltrace(1) command.

       Command traces are disabled unless the environment variable "LIBGUESTFS_TRACE" is defined
       and set to 1.

       Trace messages are normally sent to "stderr", unless you register a callback to send them

       Deprecated functions will not be removed from the API, but the fact that they are
       deprecated indicates that there are problems with correct use of these functions.

       This is a direct interface to the sfdisk(8) program for creating partitions on block
       devices.

       "device" should be a block device, for example "/dev/sda".

       "cyls", "heads" and "sectors" are the number of cylinders, heads and sectors on the
       device, which are passed directly to sfdisk as the -C, -H and -S parameters.  If you pass
       0 for any of these, then the corresponding parameter is omitted.  Usually for 'large'
       disks, you can just pass 0 for these, but for small (floppy-sized) disks, sfdisk (or
       rather, the kernel) cannot work out the right geometry and you will need to tell it.

       "lines" is a list of lines that we feed to "sfdisk".  For more information refer to the
       sfdisk(8) manpage.

       To create a single partition occupying the whole disk, you would pass "lines" as a single
       element list, when the single element being the string "," (comma).

       This is like "guestfs_command", but passes the command to:

        /bin/sh -c "command"

       synchronized.

       If the subprocess exits with an error then this function will return an error, which
       should not be ignored (it may indicate that the disk image could not be written out

       It is safe to call this multiple times.  Extra calls are ignored.

       This call does not close or free up the handle.  You still need to call "guestfs_close"

        char **
        guestfs_tail (guestfs_h *g,

       This command returns up to the last 10 lines of a file as a list of strings.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings (like environ(3)), or NULL if
       there was an error.  The caller must free the strings and the array after use.

       Because of the message protocol, there is a transfer limit of somewhere between 2MB and
       4MB.  See "PROTOCOL LIMITS" in guestfs(3).

       If the parameter "nrlines" is a positive number, this returns the last "nrlines" lines of
       the file "path".

       If the parameter "nrlines" is a negative number, this returns lines from the file "path",
       starting with the "-nrlines"th line.

       If the parameter "nrlines" is zero, this returns an empty list.

       This call allows you to adjust various filesystem parameters of an ext2/ext3/ext4

       Додатковими параметрами є:

       "force"
           Force tune2fs to complete the operation even in the face of errors.  This is the same
           as the tune2fs "-f" option.

       "maxmountcount"
           Set the number of mounts after which the filesystem is checked by e2fsck(8).  If this
           is 0 then the number of mounts is disregarded.  This is the same as the tune2fs "-c"
           option.

       "mountcount"
           Set the number of times the filesystem has been mounted.  This is the same as the
           tune2fs "-C" option.

       "errorbehavior"
           Change the behavior of the kernel code when errors are detected.  Possible values
           currently are: "continue", "remount-ro", "panic".  In practice these options don't
           really make any difference, particularly for write errors.

           This is the same as the tune2fs "-e" option.

       "group"
           Set the group which can use reserved filesystem blocks.  This is the same as the
           tune2fs "-g" option except that it can only be specified as a number.

       "intervalbetweenchecks"
           Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks (in seconds).  If the option is
           passed as 0 then time-dependent checking is disabled.

           This is the same as the tune2fs "-i" option.

       "reservedblockspercentage"
           Set the percentage of the filesystem which may only be allocated by privileged
           processes.  This is the same as the tune2fs "-m" option.

       "lastmounteddirectory"
           Set the last mounted directory.  This is the same as the tune2fs "-M" option.

       "reservedblockscount" Set the number of reserved filesystem blocks.  This is the same as
       the tune2fs "-r" option.
       "user"
           Set the user who can use the reserved filesystem blocks.  This is the same as the
           tune2fs "-u" option except that it can only be specified as a number.

       To get the current values of filesystem parameters, see "guestfs_tune2fs_l".  For precise
       details of how tune2fs works, see the tune2fs(8) man page.

       It is the same as running "tune2fs -l device".  See tune2fs(8) manpage for more details.
       The list of fields returned isn't clearly defined, and depends on both the version of
       "tune2fs" that libguestfs was built against, and the filesystem itself.

       This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings, or NULL if there was an error.
       The array of strings will always have length "2n+1", where "n" keys and values alternate,
       followed by the trailing NULL entry.  The caller must free the strings and the array after
       use.

       Typical umask values would be 022 which creates new files with permissions like
       "-rw-r--r--" or "-rwxr-xr-x", and 002 which creates new files with permissions like
       "-rw-rw-r--" or "-rwxrwxr-x".

       The default umask is 022.  This is important because it means that directories and device
       nodes will be created with 0644 or 0755 mode even if you specify 0777.

                               int64_t offset);

       Upload local file "filename" to "remotefilename" on the filesystem.

       "remotefilename" is overwritten starting at the byte "offset" specified.  The intention is
       to overwrite parts of existing files or devices, although if a non-existant file is
       specified then it is created with a "hole" before "offset".  The size of the data written
       is implicit in the size of the source "filename".

       Note that there is no limit on the amount of data that can be uploaded with this call,
       unlike with "guestfs_pwrite", and this call always writes the full amount unless an error
       occurs.

   guestfs_user_cancel
        int
        guestfs_user_cancel (guestfs_h *g);

       This function cancels the current upload or download operation.

       Unlike most other libguestfs calls, this function is signal safe and thread safe.  You can
       call it from a signal handler or from another thread, without needing to do any locking.

       The transfer that was in progress (if there is one) will stop shortly afterwards, and will
       return an error.  The errno (see "guestfs_last_errno") is set to "EINTR", so you can test
       for this to find out if the operation was cancelled or failed because of another error.

       No cleanup is performed: for example, if a file was being uploaded then after cancellation
       there may be a partially uploaded file.  It is the caller's responsibility to clean up if
       necessary.

       There are two common places that you might call "guestfs_user_cancel":

       In an interactive text-based program, you might call it from a "SIGINT" signal handler so
       that pressing "^C" cancels the current operation.  (You also need to call
       "guestfs_set_pgroup" so that child processes don't receive the "^C" signal).

       In a graphical program, when the main thread is displaying a progress bar with a cancel
       button, wire up the cancel button to call this function.

                         int64_t mtnsecs);

       This command sets the timestamps of a file with nanosecond precision.

       "atsecs, atnsecs" are the last access time (atime) in secs and nanoseconds from the epoch.

       "mtsecs, mtnsecs" are the last modification time (mtime) in secs and nanoseconds from the
       epoch.

       If the *nsecs field contains the special value "-1" then the corresponding timestamp is
       set to the current time.  (The *secs field is ignored in this case).

       If the *nsecs field contains the special value "-2" then the corresponding timestamp is
       left unchanged.  (The *secs field is ignored in this case).

       This returns the kernel version of the appliance, where this is available.  This
       information is only useful for debugging.  Nothing in the returned structure is defined by
       the API.

       This function returns a "struct guestfs_utsname *", or NULL if there was an error.  The

   guestfs_version
        struct guestfs_version *
        guestfs_version (guestfs_h *g);

       Return the libguestfs version number that the program is linked against.

       Note that because of dynamic linking this is not necessarily the version of libguestfs
       that you compiled against.  You can compile the program, and then at runtime dynamically
       link against a completely different "libguestfs.so" library.

       This call was added in version 1.0.58.  In previous versions of libguestfs there was no
       way to get the version number.  From C code you can use dynamic linker functions to find
       out if this symbol exists (if it doesn't, then it's an earlier version).

       The call returns a structure with four elements.  The first three ("major", "minor" and
       "release") are numbers and correspond to the usual version triplet.  The fourth element
       ("extra") is a string and is normally empty, but may be used for distro-specific
       information.

       To construct the original version string: "$major.$minor.$release$extra"

       Note: Don't use this call to test for availability of features.  In enterprise
       distributions we backport features from later versions into earlier versions, making this
       an unreliable way to test for features.  Use "guestfs_available" or
       "guestfs_feature_available" instead.

       This function returns a "struct guestfs_version *", or NULL if there was an error.  The

       This command gets the filesystem type corresponding to the filesystem on "mountable".

       For most filesystems, the result is the name of the Linux VFS module which would be used
       to mount this filesystem if you mounted it without specifying the filesystem type.  For
       example a string such as "ext3" or "ntfs".

       NB. Owing to a bug, writing content containing ASCII NUL characters does not work, even if
       the length is specified.

       Repair corrupt or damaged XFS filesystem on "device".

       The filesystem is specified using the "device" argument which should be the device name of
       the disk partition or volume containing the filesystem.  If given the name of a block
       device, "xfs_repair" will attempt to find the raw device associated with the specified
       block device and will use the raw device instead.

       Regardless, the filesystem to be repaired must be unmounted, otherwise, the resulting
       filesystem may be inconsistent or corrupt.

       The returned status indicates whether filesystem corruption was detected (returns 1) or
       was not detected (returns 0).

       How many blocks are zeroed isn't specified (but it's not enough to securely wipe the
       device).  It should be sufficient to remove any partition tables, filesystem superblocks
       and so on.

       If blocks are already zero, then this command avoids writing zeroes.  This prevents the

   FILESYSTEM AVAILABLE
       The "guestfs_filesystem_available" call tests whether a filesystem type is supported by
       the appliance kernel.

       This is mainly useful as a negative test.  If this returns true, it doesn't mean that a
       particular filesystem can be mounted, since filesystems can fail for other reasons such as
       it being a later version of the filesystem, or having incompatible features.

   GUESTFISH supported COMMAND
       In guestfish(3) there is a handy interactive command "supported" which prints out the
       available groups and whether they are supported by this build of libguestfs.  Note however
       that you have to do "run" first.

   SINGLE CALLS AT COMPILE TIME
       Since version 1.5.8, "<guestfs.h>" defines symbols for each C API function, such as:

        #define GUESTFS_HAVE_DD 1

       if "guestfs_dd" is available.

       Before version 1.5.8, if you needed to test whether a single libguestfs function is
       available at compile time, we recommended using build tools such as autoconf or cmake.
       For example in autotools you could use:

        AC_CHECK_LIB([guestfs],[guestfs_create])
        AC_CHECK_FUNCS([guestfs_dd])

       which would result in "HAVE_GUESTFS_DD" being either defined or not defined in your
       program.

   SINGLE CALLS AT RUN TIME
       Testing at compile time doesn't guarantee that a function really exists in the library.
       The reason is that you might be dynamically linked against a previous libguestfs.so
       (dynamic library)  which doesn't have the call.  This situation unfortunately results in a
       segmentation fault, which is a shortcoming of the C dynamic linking system itself.

       You can use dlopen(3) to test if a function is available at run time, as in this example
       program (note that you still need the compile time check as well):

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <stdlib.h>
        #include <unistd.h>
        #include <dlfcn.h>
        #include <guestfs.h>

        main ()
        {
        #ifdef GUESTFS_HAVE_DD
          void *dl;
          int has_function;

          /* Test if the function guestfs_dd is really available. */
          dl = dlopen (NULL, RTLD_LAZY);
          if (!dl) {
            fprintf (stderr, "dlopen: %s\n", dlerror ());
            exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
          }
          has_function = dlsym (dl, "guestfs_dd") != NULL;
          dlclose (dl);

          if (!has_function)
            printf ("this libguestfs.so does NOT have guestfs_dd function\n");
          else {
            printf ("this libguestfs.so has guestfs_dd function\n");
            /* Now it's safe to call
            guestfs_dd (g, "foo", "bar");
            */
          }
        #else
          printf ("guestfs_dd function was not found at compile time\n");
        #endif
         }

       You may think the above is an awful lot of hassle, and it is.  There are other ways
       outside of the C linking system to ensure that this kind of incompatibility never arises,
       such as using package versioning:

        Requires: libguestfs >= 1.0.80

CALLS WITH OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

       A recent feature of the API is the introduction of calls which take optional arguments.
       In C these are declared 3 ways.  The main way is as a call which takes variable arguments
       (ie. "..."), as in this example:

        int guestfs_add_drive_opts (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename, ...);

       Call this with a list of optional arguments, terminated by "-1".  So to call with no
       optional arguments specified:

        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename, -1);

       With a single optional argument:

        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "qcow2",
                                -1);

       With two:

        guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "qcow2",
                                GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY, 1,
                                -1);

       and so forth.  Don't forget the terminating "-1" otherwise Bad Things will happen!

   USING va_list FOR OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
       The second variant has the same name with the suffix "_va", which works the same way but
       takes a "va_list".  See the C manual for details.  For the example function, this is
       declared:

        int guestfs_add_drive_opts_va (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename,
                                       va_list args);

   CONSTRUCTING OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
       The third variant is useful where you need to construct these calls.  You pass in a
       structure where you fill in the optional fields.  The structure has a bitmask as the first
       element which you must set to indicate which fields you have filled in.  For our example
       function the structure and call are declared:

        struct guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv {
          uint64_t bitmask;
          int readonly;
          const char *format;
          /* ... */
        };
        int guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename,
                     const struct guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv *optargs);

       You could call it like this:

        struct guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv optargs = {
          .bitmask = GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY_BITMASK |
                     GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT_BITMASK,
          .readonly = 1,
          .format = "qcow2"
        };

        guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv (g, filename, &optargs);

       Нотатки:

       •   The "_BITMASK" suffix on each option name when specifying the bitmask.

       •   You do not need to fill in all fields of the structure.

       •   There must be a one-to-one correspondence between fields of the structure that are
           filled in, and bits set in the bitmask.

   OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS IN OTHER LANGUAGES
       In other languages, optional arguments are expressed in the way that is natural for that
       language.  We refer you to the language-specific documentation for more details on that.

       For guestfish, see "OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS" in guestfish(1).

ПОДІЇ

   SETTING CALLBACKS TO HANDLE EVENTS
       Note: This section documents the generic event mechanism introduced in libguestfs 1.10,
       which you should use in new code if possible.  The old functions
       "guestfs_set_log_message_callback", "guestfs_set_subprocess_quit_callback",
       "guestfs_set_launch_done_callback", "guestfs_set_close_callback" and
       "guestfs_set_progress_callback" are no longer documented in this manual page.  Because of
       the ABI guarantee, the old functions continue to work.

       Handles generate events when certain things happen, such as log messages being generated,
       progress messages during long-running operations, or the handle being closed.  The API
       calls described below let you register a callback to be called when events happen.  You
       can register multiple callbacks (for the same, different or overlapping sets of events),
       and individually remove callbacks.  If callbacks are not removed, then they remain in
       force until the handle is closed.

       In the current implementation, events are only generated synchronously: that means that
       events (and hence callbacks) can only happen while you are in the middle of making another
       libguestfs call.  The callback is called in the same thread.

       Events may contain a payload, usually nothing (void), an array of 64 bit unsigned
       integers, or a message buffer.  Payloads are discussed later on.

   CLASSES OF EVENTS
       GUESTFS_EVENT_CLOSE (payload type: void)
           The callback function will be called while the handle is being closed (synchronously
           from "guestfs_close").

           Note that libguestfs installs an atexit(3) handler to try to clean up handles that are
           open when the program exits.  This means that this callback might be called indirectly
           from exit(3), which can cause unexpected problems in higher-level languages (eg. if
           your HLL interpreter has already been cleaned up by the time this is called, and if
           your callback then jumps into some HLL function).

           If no callback is registered: the handle is closed without any callback being invoked.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_SUBPROCESS_QUIT (payload type: void)
           The callback function will be called when the child process quits, either
           asynchronously or if killed by "guestfs_kill_subprocess".  (This corresponds to a
           transition from any state to the CONFIG state).

           If no callback is registered: the event is ignored.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_LAUNCH_DONE (payload type: void)
           The callback function will be called when the child process becomes ready first time
           after it has been launched.  (This corresponds to a transition from LAUNCHING to the
           READY state).

           If no callback is registered: the event is ignored.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_PROGRESS (payload type: array of 4 x uint64_t)
           Some long-running operations can generate progress messages.  If this callback is
           registered, then it will be called each time a progress message is generated (usually
           two seconds after the operation started, and three times per second thereafter until
           it completes, although the frequency may change in future versions).

           The callback receives in the payload four unsigned 64 bit numbers which are (in
           order): "proc_nr", "serial", "position", "total".

           The units of "total" are not defined, although for some operations "total" may relate
           in some way to the amount of data to be transferred (eg. in bytes or megabytes), and
           "position" may be the portion which has been transferred.

           The only defined and stable parts of the API are:

           •   The callback can display to the user some type of progress bar or indicator which
               shows the ratio of "position":"total".

           •   0 <= "position" <= "total"

           •   If any progress notification is sent during a call, then a final progress
               notification is always sent when "position" = "total" (unless the call fails with
               an error).

               This is to simplify caller code, so callers can easily set the progress indicator
               to "100%" at the end of the operation, without requiring special code to detect
               this case.

           •   For some calls we are unable to estimate the progress of the call, but we can
               still generate progress messages to indicate activity.  This is known as "pulse
               mode", and is directly supported by certain progress bar implementations (eg.
               GtkProgressBar).

               For these calls, zero or more progress messages are generated with "position = 0"
               and "total = 1", followed by a final message with "position = total = 1".

               As noted above, if the call fails with an error then the final message may not be
               generated.

           The callback also receives the procedure number ("proc_nr") and serial number
           ("serial") of the call.  These are only useful for debugging protocol issues, and the
           callback can normally ignore them.  The callback may want to print these numbers in
           error messages or debugging messages.

           If no callback is registered: progress messages are discarded.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_APPLIANCE (payload type: message buffer)
           The callback function is called whenever a log message is generated by qemu, the
           appliance kernel, guestfsd (daemon), or utility programs.

           If the verbose flag ("guestfs_set_verbose") is set before launch ("guestfs_launch")
           then additional debug messages are generated.

           If no callback is registered: the messages are discarded unless the verbose flag is
           set in which case they are sent to stderr.  You can override the printing of verbose
           messages to stderr by setting up a callback.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBRARY (payload type: message buffer)
           The callback function is called whenever a log message is generated by the library
           part of libguestfs.

           If the verbose flag ("guestfs_set_verbose") is set then additional debug messages are
           generated.

           If no callback is registered: the messages are discarded unless the verbose flag is
           set in which case they are sent to stderr.  You can override the printing of verbose
           messages to stderr by setting up a callback.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_WARNING (payload type: message buffer)
           The callback function is called whenever a warning message is generated by the library
           part of libguestfs.

           If no callback is registered: the messages are printed to stderr.  You can override
           the printing of warning messages to stderr by setting up a callback.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_TRACE (payload type: message buffer)
           The callback function is called whenever a trace message is generated.  This only
           applies if the trace flag ("guestfs_set_trace") is set.

           If no callback is registered: the messages are sent to stderr.  You can override the
           printing of trace messages to stderr by setting up a callback.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_ENTER (payload type: function name)
           The callback function is called whenever a libguestfs function is entered.

           The payload is a string which contains the name of the function that we are entering
           (not including "guestfs_" prefix).

           Note that libguestfs functions can call themselves, so you may see many events from a
           single call.  A few libguestfs functions do not generate this event.

           If no callback is registered: the event is ignored.

       GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBVIRT_AUTH (payload type: libvirt URI)
           For any API function that opens a libvirt connection, this event may be generated to
           indicate that libvirt demands authentication information.  See "LIBVIRT
           AUTHENTICATION" below.

           If no callback is registered: "virConnectAuthPtrDefault" is used (suitable for
           command-line programs only).

   EVENT API
       guestfs_set_event_callback

        int guestfs_set_event_callback (guestfs_h *g,
                                        guestfs_event_callback cb,
                                        uint64_t event_bitmask,
                                        int flags,
                                        void *opaque);

       This function registers a callback ("cb") for all event classes in the "event_bitmask".

       For example, to register for all log message events, you could call this function with the
       bitmask "GUESTFS_EVENT_APPLIANCE|GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBRARY|GUESTFS_EVENT_WARNING".  To
       register a single callback for all possible classes of events, use "GUESTFS_EVENT_ALL".

       "flags" should always be passed as 0.

       "opaque" is an opaque pointer which is passed to the callback.  You can use it for any
       purpose.

       The return value is the event handle (an integer) which you can use to delete the callback
       (see below).

       If there is an error, this function returns "-1", and sets the error in the handle in the
       usual way (see "guestfs_last_error" etc.)

       Callbacks remain in effect until they are deleted, or until the handle is closed.

       In the case where multiple callbacks are registered for a particular event class, all of
       the callbacks are called.  The order in which multiple callbacks are called is not
       defined.

       guestfs_delete_event_callback

        void guestfs_delete_event_callback (guestfs_h *g, int event_handle);

       Delete a callback that was previously registered.  "event_handle" should be the integer
       that was returned by a previous call to "guestfs_set_event_callback" on the same handle.

       guestfs_event_to_string

        char *guestfs_event_to_string (uint64_t event);

       "event" is either a single event or a bitmask of events.  This returns a string
       representation (useful for debugging or printing events).

       A single event is returned as the name in lower case, eg. "close".

       A bitmask of several events is returned as a comma-separated list, eg. "close,progress".

       If zero is passed, then the empty string "" is returned.

       On success this returns a string.  On error it returns NULL and sets "errno".

       The returned string must be freed by the caller.

       guestfs_event_callback

        typedef void (*guestfs_event_callback) (
                         guestfs_h *g,
                         void *opaque,
                         uint64_t event,
                         int event_handle,
                         int flags,
                         const char *buf, size_t buf_len,
                         const uint64_t *array, size_t array_len);

       This is the type of the event callback function that you have to provide.

       The basic parameters are: the handle ("g"), the opaque user pointer ("opaque"), the event
       class (eg. "GUESTFS_EVENT_PROGRESS"), the event handle, and "flags" which in the current
       API you should ignore.

       The remaining parameters contain the event payload (if any).  Each event may contain a
       payload, which usually relates to the event class, but for future proofing your code
       should be written to handle any payload for any event class.

       "buf" and "buf_len" contain a message buffer (if "buf_len == 0", then there is no message
       buffer).  Note that this message buffer can contain arbitrary 8 bit data, including NUL
       bytes.

       "array" and "array_len" is an array of 64 bit unsigned integers.  At the moment this is
       only used for progress messages.

   EXAMPLE: CAPTURING LOG MESSAGES
       A working program demonstrating this can be found in "examples/debug-logging.c" in the
       source of libguestfs.

       One motivation for the generic event API was to allow GUI programs to capture debug and
       other messages.  In libguestfs ≤ 1.8 these were sent unconditionally to "stderr".

       Events associated with log messages are: "GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBRARY",
       "GUESTFS_EVENT_APPLIANCE", "GUESTFS_EVENT_WARNING" and "GUESTFS_EVENT_TRACE".  (Note that
       error messages are not events; you must capture error messages separately).

       Programs have to set up a callback to capture the classes of events of interest:

        int eh =
          guestfs_set_event_callback
            (g, message_callback,
             GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBRARY | GUESTFS_EVENT_APPLIANCE |
             GUESTFS_EVENT_WARNING | GUESTFS_EVENT_TRACE,
             0, NULL) == -1)
        if (eh == -1) {
          // handle error in the usual way
        }

       The callback can then direct messages to the appropriate place.  In this example, messages
       are directed to syslog:

        static void
        message_callback (
                guestfs_h *g,
                void *opaque,
                uint64_t event,
                int event_handle,
                int flags,
                const char *buf, size_t buf_len,
                const uint64_t *array, size_t array_len)
        {
          const int priority = LOG_USER|LOG_INFO;
          if (buf_len > 0)
            syslog (priority, "event 0x%lx: %s", event, buf);
        }

   LIBVIRT AUTHENTICATION
       Some libguestfs API calls can open libvirt connections.  Currently the only ones are
       "guestfs_add_domain"; and "guestfs_launch" if the libvirt backend has been selected.
       Libvirt connections may require authentication, for example if they need to access a
       remote server or to access root services from non-root.  Libvirt authentication happens
       via a callback mechanism, see
       http://libvirt.org/guide/html/Application_Development_Guide-Connections.html

       You may provide libvirt authentication data by registering a callback for events of type
       "GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBVIRT_AUTH".

       If no such event is registered, then libguestfs uses a libvirt function that provides
       command-line prompts ("virConnectAuthPtrDefault").  This is only suitable for command-line
       libguestfs programs.

       To provide authentication, first call "guestfs_set_libvirt_supported_credentials" with the
       list of credentials your program knows how to provide.  Second, register a callback for
       the "GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBVIRT_AUTH" event.  The event handler will be called when libvirt is
       requesting authentication information.

       In the event handler, call "guestfs_get_libvirt_requested_credentials" to get a list of
       the credentials that libvirt is asking for.  You then need to ask (eg. the user) for each
       credential, and call "guestfs_set_libvirt_requested_credential" with the answer.  Note
       that for each credential, additional information may be available via the calls
       "guestfs_get_libvirt_requested_credential_prompt",
       "guestfs_get_libvirt_requested_credential_challenge" or
       "guestfs_get_libvirt_requested_credential_defresult".

       The example program below should make this clearer.

       There is also a more substantial working example program supplied with the libguestfs
       sources, called "libvirt-auth.c".

        main ()
        {
          guestfs_h *g;
          char *creds[] = { "authname", "passphrase", NULL };
          int r, eh;

          g = guestfs_create ();
          if (!g) exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

          /* Tell libvirt what credentials the program supports. */
          r = guestfs_set_libvirt_supported_credentials (g, creds);
          if (r == -1)
            exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

          /* Set up the event handler. */
          eh = guestfs_set_event_callback (
              g, do_auth,
              GUESTFS_EVENT_LIBVIRT_AUTH, 0, NULL);
          if (eh == -1)
            exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

          /* An example of a call that may ask for credentials. */
          r = guestfs_add_domain (
              g, "dom",
              GUESTFS_ADD_DOMAIN_LIBVIRTURI, "qemu:///system",
              -1);
          if (r == -1)
            exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

          exit (EXIT_SUCCESS);
        }

        static void
        do_auth (guestfs_h *g,
                 void *opaque,
                 uint64_t event,
                 int event_handle,
                 int flags,
                 const char *buf, size_t buf_len,
                 const uint64_t *array, size_t array_len)
        {
          char **creds;
          size_t i;
          char *prompt;
          char *reply;
          size_t replylen;
          int r;

          // buf will be the libvirt URI.  buf_len may be ignored.
          printf ("Authentication required for libvirt conn '%s'\n",
                  buf);

          // Ask libguestfs what credentials libvirt is demanding.
          creds = guestfs_get_libvirt_requested_credentials (g);
          if (creds == NULL)
            exit (EXIT_FAILURE);

          // Now ask the user for answers.
          for (i = 0; creds[i] != NULL; ++i)
          {
            if (strcmp (creds[i], "authname") == 0 ||
                strcmp (creds[i], "passphrase") == 0)
            {
              prompt =
                guestfs_get_libvirt_requested_credential_prompt (g, i);
              if (prompt && strcmp (prompt, "") != 0)
                printf ("%s: ", prompt);
              free (prompt);

              // Some code here to ask for the credential.
              // ...
              // Put the reply in 'reply', length 'replylen' (bytes).

             r = guestfs_set_libvirt_requested_credential (g, i,
                 reply, replylen);
             if (r == -1)
               exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
            }

            free (creds[i]);
          }

          free (creds);
        }

CANCELLING LONG TRANSFERS

       Some operations can be cancelled by the caller while they are in progress.  Currently only
       operations that involve uploading or downloading data can be cancelled (technically:
       operations that have "FileIn" or "FileOut" parameters in the generator).

       To cancel the transfer, call "guestfs_user_cancel".  For more information, read the
       description of "guestfs_user_cancel".

PRIVATE DATA AREA

       You can attach named pieces of private data to the libguestfs handle, fetch them by name,
       and walk over them, for the lifetime of the handle.  This is called the private data area
       and is only available from the C API.

       To attach a named piece of data, use the following call:

        void guestfs_set_private (guestfs_h *g, const char *key, void *data);

       "key" is the name to associate with this data, and "data" is an arbitrary pointer (which
       can be "NULL").  Any previous item with the same key is overwritten.

       You can use any "key" string you want, but avoid keys beginning with an underscore
       character (libguestfs uses those for its own internal purposes, such as implementing
       language bindings).  It is recommended that you prefix the key with some unique string to
       avoid collisions with other users.

       To retrieve the pointer, use:

        void *guestfs_get_private (guestfs_h *g, const char *key);

       This function returns "NULL" if either no data is found associated with "key", or if the
       user previously set the "key"'s "data" pointer to "NULL".

       Libguestfs does not try to look at or interpret the "data" pointer in any way.  As far as
       libguestfs is concerned, it need not be a valid pointer at all.  In particular, libguestfs
       does not try to free the data when the handle is closed.  If the data must be freed, then
       the caller must either free it before calling "guestfs_close" or must set up a close
       callback to do it (see "GUESTFS_EVENT_CLOSE").

       To walk over all entries, use these two functions:

        void *guestfs_first_private (guestfs_h *g, const char **key_rtn);

        void *guestfs_next_private (guestfs_h *g, const char **key_rtn);

       "guestfs_first_private" returns the first key, pointer pair ("first" does not have any
       particular meaning -- keys are not returned in any defined order).  A pointer to the key
       is returned in *key_rtn and the corresponding data pointer is returned from the function.
       "NULL" is returned if there are no keys stored in the handle.

       "guestfs_next_private" returns the next key, pointer pair.  The return value of this
       function is "NULL" if there are no further entries to return.

       Notes about walking over entries:

       •   You must not call "guestfs_set_private" while walking over the entries.

       •   The handle maintains an internal iterator which is reset when you call
           "guestfs_first_private".  This internal iterator is invalidated when you call
           "guestfs_set_private".

       •   If you have set the data pointer associated with a key to "NULL", ie:

            guestfs_set_private (g, key, NULL);

           then that "key" is not returned when walking.

       •   *key_rtn is only valid until the next call to "guestfs_first_private",
           "guestfs_next_private" or "guestfs_set_private".

       The following example code shows how to print all keys and data pointers that are
       associated with the handle "g":

        const char *key;
        void *data = guestfs_first_private (g, &key);
        while (data != NULL)
          {
            printf ("key = %s, data = %p\n", key, data);
            data = guestfs_next_private (g, &key);
          }

       More commonly you are only interested in keys that begin with an application-specific
       prefix "foo_".  Modify the loop like so:

        const char *key;
        void *data = guestfs_first_private (g, &key);
        while (data != NULL)
          {
            if (strncmp (key, "foo_", strlen ("foo_")) == 0)
              printf ("key = %s, data = %p\n", key, data);
            data = guestfs_next_private (g, &key);
          }

       If you need to modify keys while walking, then you have to jump back to the beginning of
       the loop.  For example, to delete all keys prefixed with "foo_":

         const char *key;
         void *data;
        again:
         data = guestfs_first_private (g, &key);
         while (data != NULL)
           {
             if (strncmp (key, "foo_", strlen ("foo_")) == 0)
               {
                 guestfs_set_private (g, key, NULL);
                 /* note that 'key' pointer is now invalid, and so is
                    the internal iterator */
                 goto again;
               }
             data = guestfs_next_private (g, &key);
           }

       Note that the above loop is guaranteed to terminate because the keys are being deleted,
       but other manipulations of keys within the loop might not terminate unless you also
       maintain an indication of which keys have been visited.

SYSTEMTAP

       The libguestfs C library can be probed using systemtap or DTrace.  This is true of any
       library, not just libguestfs.  However libguestfs also contains static markers to help in
       probing internal operations.

       You can list all the static markers by doing:

        stap -l 'process("/usr/lib*/libguestfs.so.0")
                     .provider("guestfs").mark("*")'

       Note: These static markers are not part of the stable API and may change in future
       versions.

   SYSTEMTAP SCRIPT EXAMPLE
       This script contains examples of displaying both the static markers and some ordinary C
       entry points:

        global last;

        function display_time () {
              now = gettimeofday_us ();
              delta = 0;
              if (last > 0)
                    delta = now - last;
              last = now;

              printf ("%d (+%d):", now, delta);
        }

        probe begin {
              last = 0;
              printf ("ready\n");
        }

        /* Display all calls to static markers. */
        probe process("/usr/lib*/libguestfs.so.0")
                  .provider("guestfs").mark("*") ? {
              display_time();
              printf ("\t%s %s\n", $$name, $$parms);
        }

        /* Display all calls to guestfs_mkfs* functions. */
        probe process("/usr/lib*/libguestfs.so.0")
                  .function("guestfs_mkfs*") ? {
              display_time();
              printf ("\t%s %s\n", probefunc(), $$parms);
        }

       The script above can be saved to "test.stap" and run using the stap(1) program.  Note that
       you either have to be root, or you have to add yourself to several special stap groups.
       Consult the systemtap documentation for more information.

        # stap /tmp/test.stap
        ready

       In another terminal, run a guestfish command such as this:

        guestfish -N fs

       In the first terminal, stap trace output similar to this is shown:

АРХІТЕКТУРА

       Internally, libguestfs is implemented by running an appliance (a special type of small
       virtual machine) using qemu(1).  Qemu runs as a child process of the main program.

                                         \______________/

       The library, linked to the main program, creates the child process and hence the appliance
       in the "guestfs_launch" function.

       Inside the appliance is a Linux kernel and a complete stack of userspace tools (such as
       LVM and ext2 programs) and a small controlling daemon called "guestfsd".  The library
       talks to "guestfsd" using remote procedure calls (RPC).  There is a mostly one-to-one
       correspondence between libguestfs API calls and RPC calls to the daemon.  Lastly the disk
       image(s) are attached to the qemu process which translates device access by the
       appliance's Linux kernel into accesses to the image.

       A common misunderstanding is that the appliance "is" the virtual machine.  Although the
       disk image you are attached to might also be used by some virtual machine, libguestfs
       doesn't know or care about this.  (But you will care if both libguestfs's qemu process and
       your virtual machine are trying to update the disk image at the same time, since these
       usually results in massive disk corruption).

СКІНЧЕННИЙ АВТОМАТ

       libguestfs uses a state machine to model the child process:

                              |   \___________/
                              |       /
                              |  guestfs_launch
                              |     /

                           | READY  |
                           \________/

       The normal transitions are (1) CONFIG (when the handle is created, but there is no child
       process), (2) LAUNCHING (when the child process is booting up), (3) READY meaning the
       appliance is up, actions can be issued to, and carried out by, the child process.

       The guest may be killed by "guestfs_kill_subprocess", or may die asynchronously at any
       time (eg. due to some internal error), and that causes the state to transition back to
       CONFIG.

       Configuration commands for qemu such as "guestfs_set_path" can only be issued when in the
       CONFIG state.

       The API offers one call that goes from CONFIG through LAUNCHING to READY.
       "guestfs_launch" blocks until the child process is READY to accept commands (or until some
       failure or timeout).  "guestfs_launch" internally moves the state from CONFIG to LAUNCHING
       while it is running.

       API actions such as "guestfs_mount" can only be issued when in the READY state.  These API
       calls block waiting for the command to be carried out.  There are no non-blocking
       versions, and no way to issue more than one command per handle at the same time.

       Finally, the child process sends asynchronous messages back to the main program, such as
       kernel log messages.  You can register a callback to receive these messages.

ВНУТРІШНІ ПРИНЦИПИ РОБОТИ

   APPLIANCE BOOT PROCESS
       This process has evolved and continues to evolve.  The description here corresponds only
       to the current version of libguestfs and is provided for information only.

       In order to follow the stages involved below, enable libguestfs debugging (set the
       environment variable "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1").

       Create the appliance
           "supermin-helper" is invoked to create the kernel, a small initrd and the appliance.

           The appliance is cached in "/var/tmp/.guestfs-<UID>" (or in another directory if
           "LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR" or "TMPDIR" are set).

           For a complete description of how the appliance is created and cached, read the
           supermin(8) and supermin-helper(8) man pages.

       Start qemu and boot the kernel
           qemu is invoked to boot the kernel.

       Run the initrd
           "supermin-helper" builds a small initrd.  The initrd is not the appliance.  The
           purpose of the initrd is to load enough kernel modules in order that the appliance
           itself can be mounted and started.

           The initrd is a cpio archive called "/var/tmp/.guestfs-<UID>/initrd".

           When the initrd has started you will see messages showing that kernel modules are
           being loaded, similar to this:

            supermin: ext2 mini initrd starting up
            supermin: mounting /sys
            supermin: internal insmod libcrc32c.ko
            supermin: internal insmod crc32c-intel.ko

       Find and mount the appliance device
           The appliance is a sparse file containing an ext2 filesystem which contains a familiar
           (although reduced in size) Linux operating system.  It would normally be called
           "/var/tmp/.guestfs-<UID>/root".

           The regular disks being inspected by libguestfs are the first devices exposed by qemu
           (eg. as "/dev/vda").

           The last disk added to qemu is the appliance itself (eg. "/dev/vdb" if there was only
           one regular disk).

           Thus the final job of the initrd is to locate the appliance disk, mount it, and switch
           root into the appliance, and run "/init" from the appliance.

           If this works successfully you will see messages such as:

            supermin: picked /sys/block/vdb/dev as root device
            supermin: creating /dev/root as block special 252:16
            supermin: mounting new root on /root
            supermin: chroot
            Starting /init script ...

           Note that "Starting /init script ..." indicates that the appliance's init script is
           now running.

       Initialize the appliance
           The appliance itself now initializes itself.  This involves starting certain processes
           like "udev", possibly printing some debug information, and finally running the daemon
           ("guestfsd").

       Фонова служба
           Finally the daemon ("guestfsd") runs inside the appliance.  If it runs you should see:

            verbose daemon enabled

           The daemon expects to see a named virtio-serial port exposed by qemu and connected on
           the other end to the library.

           The daemon connects to this port (and hence to the library) and sends a four byte
           message "GUESTFS_LAUNCH_FLAG", which initiates the communication protocol (see below).

   COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
       Don't rely on using this protocol directly.  This section documents how it currently
       works, but it may change at any time.

       The protocol used to talk between the library and the daemon running inside the qemu
       virtual machine is a simple RPC mechanism built on top of XDR (RFC 1014, RFC 1832, RFC
       4506).

       The detailed format of structures is in "src/guestfs_protocol.x" (note: this file is
       automatically generated).

       There are two broad cases, ordinary functions that don't have any "FileIn" and "FileOut"
       parameters, which are handled with very simple request/reply messages.  Then there are
       functions that have any "FileIn" or "FileOut" parameters, which use the same request and
       reply messages, but they may also be followed by files sent using a chunked encoding.

       ORDINARY FUNCTIONS (NO FILEIN/FILEOUT PARAMS)

       For ordinary functions, the request message is:

        total length (header + arguments,
             but not including the length word itself)
        struct guestfs_message_header (encoded as XDR)
        struct guestfs_<foo>_args (encoded as XDR)

       The total length field allows the daemon to allocate a fixed size buffer into which it
       slurps the rest of the message.  As a result, the total length is limited to
       "GUESTFS_MESSAGE_MAX" bytes (currently 4MB), which means the effective size of any request
       is limited to somewhere under this size.

       Note also that many functions don't take any arguments, in which case the
       "guestfs_foo_args" is completely omitted.

       The header contains the procedure number ("guestfs_proc") which is how the receiver knows
       what type of args structure to expect, or none at all.

       For functions that take optional arguments, the optional arguments are encoded in the
       "guestfs_foo_args" structure in the same way as ordinary arguments.  A bitmask in the
       header indicates which optional arguments are meaningful.  The bitmask is also checked to
       see if it contains bits set which the daemon does not know about (eg. if more optional
       arguments were added in a later version of the library), and this causes the call to be
       rejected.

       The reply message for ordinary functions is:

        total length (header + ret,
             but not including the length word itself)
        struct guestfs_message_header (encoded as XDR)
        struct guestfs_<foo>_ret (encoded as XDR)

       As above the "guestfs_foo_ret" structure may be completely omitted for functions that
       return no formal return values.

       As above the total length of the reply is limited to "GUESTFS_MESSAGE_MAX".

       In the case of an error, a flag is set in the header, and the reply message is slightly
       changed:

        total length (header + error,
             but not including the length word itself)
        struct guestfs_message_header (encoded as XDR)
        struct guestfs_message_error (encoded as XDR)

       The "guestfs_message_error" structure contains the error message as a string.

       FUNCTIONS THAT HAVE FILEIN PARAMETERS

       A "FileIn" parameter indicates that we transfer a file into the guest.  The normal request
       message is sent (see above).  However this is followed by a sequence of file chunks.

        total length (header + arguments,
             but not including the length word itself,
             and not including the chunks)
        struct guestfs_message_header (encoded as XDR)
        struct guestfs_<foo>_args (encoded as XDR)
        sequence of chunks for FileIn param #0
        sequence of chunks for FileIn param #1 etc.

       The "sequence of chunks" is:

        length of chunk (not including length word itself)
        struct guestfs_chunk (encoded as XDR)
        length of chunk
        struct guestfs_chunk (encoded as XDR)
          ...
        length of chunk
        struct guestfs_chunk (with data.data_len == 0)

       The final chunk has the "data_len" field set to zero.  Additionally a flag is set in the
       final chunk to indicate either successful completion or early cancellation.

       At time of writing there are no functions that have more than one FileIn parameter.
       However this is (theoretically) supported, by sending the sequence of chunks for each
       FileIn parameter one after another (from left to right).

       Both the library (sender) and the daemon (receiver) may cancel the transfer.  The library
       does this by sending a chunk with a special flag set to indicate cancellation.  When the
       daemon sees this, it cancels the whole RPC, does not send any reply, and goes back to
       reading the next request.

       The daemon may also cancel.  It does this by writing a special word "GUESTFS_CANCEL_FLAG"
       to the socket.  The library listens for this during the transfer, and if it gets it, it
       will cancel the transfer (it sends a cancel chunk).  The special word is chosen so that
       even if cancellation happens right at the end of the transfer (after the library has
       finished writing and has started listening for the reply), the "spurious" cancel flag will
       not be confused with the reply message.

       This protocol allows the transfer of arbitrary sized files (no 32 bit limit), and also
       files where the size is not known in advance (eg. from pipes or sockets).  However the
       chunks are rather small ("GUESTFS_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE"), so that neither the library nor the
       daemon need to keep much in memory.

       FUNCTIONS THAT HAVE FILEOUT PARAMETERS

       The protocol for FileOut parameters is exactly the same as for FileIn parameters, but with
       the roles of daemon and library reversed.

        total length (header + ret,
             but not including the length word itself,
             and not including the chunks)
        struct guestfs_message_header (encoded as XDR)
        struct guestfs_<foo>_ret (encoded as XDR)
        sequence of chunks for FileOut param #0
        sequence of chunks for FileOut param #1 etc.

       ПОЧАТКОВЕ ПОВІДОМЛЕННЯ

       When the daemon launches it sends an initial word ("GUESTFS_LAUNCH_FLAG") which indicates
       that the guest and daemon is alive.  This is what "guestfs_launch" waits for.

       PROGRESS NOTIFICATION MESSAGES

       The daemon may send progress notification messages at any time.  These are distinguished
       by the normal length word being replaced by "GUESTFS_PROGRESS_FLAG", followed by a fixed
       size progress message.

       The library turns them into progress callbacks (see "GUESTFS_EVENT_PROGRESS") if there is
       a callback registered, or discards them if not.

       The daemon self-limits the frequency of progress messages it sends (see
       "daemon/proto.c:notify_progress").  Not all calls generate progress messages.

LIBGUESTFS VERSION NUMBERS

       Since April 2010, libguestfs has started to make separate development and stable releases,
       along with corresponding branches in our git repository.  These separate releases can be
       identified by version number:

                        even numbers for stable: 1.2.x, 1.4.x, ...
              .-------- odd numbers for development: 1.3.x, 1.5.x, ...
              |
              v
        1  .  3  .  5
        ^           ^
        |           |
        |           `-------- sub-version
        |
        `------ always '1' because we don't change the ABI

       Thus "1.3.5" is the 5th update to the development branch "1.3".

       As time passes we cherry pick fixes from the development branch and backport those into
       the stable branch, the effect being that the stable branch should get more stable and less
       buggy over time.  So the stable releases are ideal for people who don't need new features
       but would just like the software to work.

       Our criteria for backporting changes are:

       •   Documentation changes which don't affect any code are backported unless the
           documentation refers to a future feature which is not in stable.

       •   Bug fixes which are not controversial, fix obvious problems, and have been well tested
           are backported.

       •   Simple rearrangements of code which shouldn't affect how it works get backported.
           This is so that the code in the two branches doesn't get too far out of step, allowing
           us to backport future fixes more easily.

       •   We don't backport new features, new APIs, new tools etc, except in one exceptional
           case: the new feature is required in order to implement an important bug fix.

       A new stable branch starts when we think the new features in development are substantial
       and compelling enough over the current stable branch to warrant it.  When that happens we
       create new stable and development versions 1.N.0 and 1.(N+1).0 [N is even].  The new dot-
       oh release won't necessarily be so stable at this point, but by backporting fixes from
       development, that branch will stabilize over time.

EXTENDING LIBGUESTFS

       This section is for hackers who want to extend libguestfs itself.

   OVERVIEW OF THE SOURCE CODE
       Libguestfs source is located in the github repository
       https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs

       Large amounts of boilerplate code in libguestfs (RPC, bindings, documentation) are
       generated.  This means that many source files will appear to be missing from a
       straightforward git checkout.  You have to run the generator ("./autogen.sh && make -C
       generator") in order to create those files.

       Libguestfs uses an autotools-based build system, with the main files being "configure.ac"
       and "Makefile.am".  The "generator" subdirectory contains the generator, plus files
       describing the API.  The "src" subdirectory contains source for the library.  The
       "appliance" and "daemon" subdirectories contain the source for the code that builds the
       appliance, and the code that runs in the appliance respectively.  Other directories are
       covered in the section "SOURCE CODE SUBDIRECTORIES" below.

       Apart from the fact that all API entry points go via some generated code, the library is
       straightforward.  (In fact, even the generated code is designed to be readable, and should
       be read as ordinary code).  Some actions run entirely in the library, and are written as C
       functions in files under "src".  Others are forwarded to the daemon where (after some
       generated RPC marshalling) they appear as C functions in files under "daemon".

       To build from source, first read the "README" file.

   "local*" FILES
       Files in the top source directory that begin with the prefix "local*" are ignored by git.
       These files can contain local configuration or scripts that you need to build libguestfs.

       By convention, I have a file called "localconfigure" which is a simple wrapper around
       "autogen.sh" containing local configure customizations that I need:

        . localenv
        ./autogen.sh \
            --with-default-backend=libvirt \
            --enable-gcc-warnings \
            --enable-gtk-doc \
            -C \
            "$@"

       So I can use this to build libguestfs:

        ./localconfigure && make

       If there is a file in the top build directory called "localenv", then it will be sourced
       by "make".  This file can contain any local environment variables needed, eg. for skipping
       tests:

        # Use an alternate python binary.
        export PYTHON=python3
        # Skip this test, it is broken.
        export SKIP_TEST_BTRFS_FSCK=1

       Note that "localenv" is included by the top Makefile (so it's a Makefile fragment).  But
       if it is also sourced by your "localconfigure" script then it is used as a shell script.

   ADDING A NEW API ACTION
       Because large amounts of boilerplate code in libguestfs are generated, this makes it easy
       to extend the libguestfs API.

       To add a new API action there are two changes:

       1.  You need to add a description of the call (name, parameters, return type, tests,
           documentation) to "generator/actions.ml".

           There are two sorts of API action, depending on whether the call goes through to the
           daemon in the appliance, or is serviced entirely by the library (see "ARCHITECTURE"
           above).  "guestfs_sync" is an example of the former, since the sync is done in the
           appliance.  "guestfs_set_trace" is an example of the latter, since a trace flag is
           maintained in the handle and all tracing is done on the library side.

           Most new actions are of the first type, and get added to the "daemon_functions" list.
           Each function has a unique procedure number used in the RPC protocol which is assigned
           to that action when we publish libguestfs and cannot be reused.  Take the latest
           procedure number and increment it.

           For library-only actions of the second type, add to the "non_daemon_functions" list.
           Since these functions are serviced by the library and do not travel over the RPC
           mechanism to the daemon, these functions do not need a procedure number, and so the
           procedure number is set to "-1".

       2.  Implement the action (in C):

           For daemon actions, implement the function "do_<name>" in the "daemon/" directory.

           For library actions, implement the function "guestfs__<name>" (note: double
           underscore) in the "src/" directory.

           In either case, use another function as an example of what to do.

       After making these changes, use "make" to compile.

       Note that you don't need to implement the RPC, language bindings, manual pages or anything
       else.  It's all automatically generated from the OCaml description.

   ADDING TESTS FOR AN API ACTION
       You can supply zero or as many tests as you want per API call.  The tests can either be
       added as part of the API description ("generator/actions.ml"), or in some rarer cases you
       may want to drop a script into "tests/*/".  Note that adding a script to "tests/*/" is
       slower, so if possible use the first method.

       The following describes the test environment used when you add an API test in
       "actions.ml".

       The test environment has 4 block devices:

       "/dev/sda" 500 МБ
           General block device for testing.

       "/dev/sdb" 50 МБ
           "/dev/sdb1" is an ext2 filesystem used for testing filesystem write operations.

       "/dev/sdc" 10 МБ
           Used in a few tests where two block devices are needed.

       "/dev/sdd"
           ISO with fixed content (see "images/test.iso").

       To be able to run the tests in a reasonable amount of time, the libguestfs appliance and
       block devices are reused between tests.  So don't try testing "guestfs_kill_subprocess"
       :-x

       Each test starts with an initial scenario, selected using one of the "Init*" expressions,
       described in "generator/types.ml".  These initialize the disks mentioned above in a
       particular way as documented in "types.ml".  You should not assume anything about the
       previous contents of other disks that are not initialized.

       You can add a prerequisite clause to any individual test.  This is a run-time check,
       which, if it fails, causes the test to be skipped.  Useful if testing a command which
       might not work on all variations of libguestfs builds.  A test that has prerequisite of
       "Always" means to run unconditionally.

       In addition, packagers can skip individual tests by setting environment variables before
       running "make check".

        SKIP_TEST_<CMD>_<NUM>=1

       eg: "SKIP_TEST_COMMAND_3=1" skips test #3 of "guestfs_command".

       або:

        SKIP_TEST_<CMD>=1

       eg: "SKIP_TEST_ZEROFREE=1" skips all "guestfs_zerofree" tests.

       Packagers can run only certain tests by setting for example:

        TEST_ONLY="vfs_type zerofree"

       See "tests/c-api/tests.c" for more details of how these environment variables work.

   DEBUGGING NEW API ACTIONS
       Test new actions work before submitting them.

       You can use guestfish to try out new commands.

       Debugging the daemon is a problem because it runs inside a minimal environment.  However
       you can fprintf messages in the daemon to stderr, and they will show up if you use
       "guestfish -v".

   ADDING A NEW LANGUAGE BINDING
       All language bindings must be generated by the generator (see the "generator"
       subdirectory).

       There is no documentation for this yet.  We suggest you look at an existing binding, eg.
       "generator/ocaml.ml" or "generator/perl.ml".

   ADDING TESTS FOR LANGUAGE BINDINGS
       Language bindings should come with tests.  Previously testing of language bindings was
       rather ad-hoc, but we have been trying to formalize the set of tests that every language
       binding should use.

       Currently only the OCaml and Perl bindings actually implement the full set of tests, and
       the OCaml bindings are canonical, so you should emulate what the OCaml tests do.

       This is the numbering scheme used by the tests:

        - 000+ basic tests:

          010  load the library
          020  create
          030  create-flags
          040  create multiple handles
          050  test setting and getting config properties
          060  explicit close
          070  optargs

        - 100  launch, create partitions and LVs and filesystems

        - 400+ events:

          410  close event
          420  log messages
          430  progress messages

        - 800+ regression tests (specific to the language)

        - 900+ any other custom tests for the language

       To save time when running the tests, only 100, 430, 800+, 900+ should launch the handle.

   FORMATTING CODE
       Our C source code generally adheres to some basic code-formatting conventions.  The
       existing code base is not totally consistent on this front, but we do prefer that
       contributed code be formatted similarly.  In short, use spaces-not-TABs for indentation,
       use 2 spaces for each indentation level, and other than that, follow the K&R style.

       If you use Emacs, add the following to one of one of your start-up files (e.g., ~/.emacs),
       to help ensure that you get indentation right:

        ;;; In libguestfs, indent with spaces everywhere (not TABs).
        ;;; Exceptions: Makefile and ChangeLog modes.
        (add-hook 'find-file-hook
            '(lambda () (if (and buffer-file-name
                                 (string-match "/libguestfs\\>"
                                     (buffer-file-name))
                                 (not (string-equal mode-name "Change Log"))
                                 (not (string-equal mode-name "Makefile")))
                            (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))))

        ;;; When editing C sources in libguestfs, use this style.
        (defun libguestfs-c-mode ()
          "C mode with adjusted defaults for use with libguestfs."
          (interactive)
          (c-set-style "K&R")
          (setq c-indent-level 2)
          (setq c-basic-offset 2))
        (add-hook 'c-mode-hook
                  '(lambda () (if (string-match "/libguestfs\\>"
                                      (buffer-file-name))
                                  (libguestfs-c-mode))))

   TESTING YOUR CHANGES
       Enable warnings when compiling (and fix any problems this finds):

        ./configure --enable-gcc-warnings

       Useful targets are:

       "make check"
           Runs the regular test suite.

           This is implemented using the regular automake "TESTS" target.  See the automake
           documentation for details.

       "make syntax-check -j1 -k"
           Checks for various syntax and style problems in the code.

       "make check-valgrind"
           Runs a subset of the test suite under valgrind.

           Any "Makefile.am" in the tree that has a "check-valgrind:" target will be run by this
           rule.

       "make check-valgrind-local-guests"
           Runs a subset of the test suite under valgrind using locally installed libvirt guests
           (read-only).

       "make check-direct"
           Runs all tests using default appliance back-end.  This only has any effect if a non-
           default backend was selected using "./configure --with-default-backend=..."

       "make check-valgrind-direct"
           Run a subset of the test suite under valgrind using the default appliance back-end.

       "make check-uml"
           Runs all tests using the User-Mode Linux backend.

           As there is no standard location for the User-Mode Linux kernel, you have to set
           "LIBGUESTFS_HV" to point to the kernel image, eg:

            make check-uml LIBGUESTFS_HV=~/d/linux-um/vmlinux

       "make check-valgrind-uml"
           Runs all tests using the User-Mode Linux backend, under valgrind.

           As above, you have to set "LIBGUESTFS_HV" to point to the kernel.

       "make check-with-upstream-qemu"
           Runs all tests using a local qemu binary.  It looks for the qemu binary in QEMUDIR
           (defaults to "$HOME/d/qemu"), but you can set this to another directory on the command
           line, eg:

            make check-with-upstream-qemu QEMUDIR=/usr/src/qemu

       "make check-with-upstream-libvirt"
           Runs all tests using a local libvirt.  This only has any effect if the libvirt backend
           was selected using "./configure --with-default-backend=libvirt"

           It looks for libvirt in LIBVIRTDIR (defaults to "$HOME/d/libvirt"), but you can set
           this to another directory on the command line, eg:

            make check-with-upstream-libvirt LIBVIRTDIR=/usr/src/libvirt

       "make check-slow"
           Runs some slow/long-running tests which are not run by default.

           Any "Makefile.am" in the tree that has a "check-slow:" target will be run by this
           rule.

       "make check-all"
           Equivalent to running all "make check*" rules.

       "make check-release"
           Runs a subset of "make check*" rules that are required to pass before a tarball can be
           released.  Currently this is:

           •   check

           •   check-valgrind

           •   check-direct

           •   check-valgrind-direct

           •   check-uml

           •   check-valgrind-uml

           •   check-slow

   DAEMON CUSTOM PRINTF FORMATTERS
       In the daemon code we have created custom printf formatters %Q and %R, which are used to
       do shell quoting.

       %Q  Simple shell quoted string.  Any spaces or other shell characters are escaped for you.

       %R  Same as %Q except the string is treated as a path which is prefixed by the sysroot.

       Приклад:

        asprintf (&cmd, "cat %R", path);

       would produce "cat /sysroot/some\ path\ with\ spaces"

       Note: Do not use these when you are passing parameters to the "command{,r,v,rv}()"
       functions.  These parameters do NOT need to be quoted because they are not passed via the
       shell (instead, straight to exec).  You probably want to use the "sysroot_path()" function
       however.

   INTERNATIONALIZATION (I18N) SUPPORT
       We support i18n (gettext anyhow) in the library.

       However many messages come from the daemon, and we don't translate those at the moment.
       One reason is that the appliance generally has all locale files removed from it, because
       they take up a lot of space.  So we'd have to readd some of those, as well as copying our
       PO files into the appliance.

       Debugging messages are never translated, since they are intended for the programmers.

   СТВОРЕННЯ СТАБІЛЬНОГО ВИПУСКУ
       When we make a stable release, there are several steps documented here.  See "LIBGUESTFS
       VERSION NUMBERS" for general information about the stable branch policy.

       •   Check "make && make check" works on at least Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu.

       •   Finalize "guestfs-release-notes.pod"

       •   Update ROADMAP.

       •   Run "src/api-support/update-from-tarballs.sh".

       •   Передавання даних на Transifex та отримання даних з Transifex.

           Віддайте команду:

            tx push -s

           щоб надіслати найсвіжіші файли POT на Transifex. Потім віддайте команду:

            ./tx-pull.sh

           which is a wrapper to pull the latest translated "*.po" files.

       •   Consider updating gnulib to latest upstream version.

       •   Create new stable and development directories under http://libguestfs.org/download.

       •   Edit "index.html.in" on website.

       •   Створення гілки у git:

            git tag -a 1.XX.0 -m "Version 1.XX.0 (stable)"
            git tag -a 1.YY.0 -m "Version 1.YY.0 (development)"
            git branch stable-1.XX
            git push origin tag 1.XX.0 1.YY.0 stable-1.XX

ОБМЕЖЕННЯ

   ОБМЕЖЕННЯ ПРОТОКОЛУ
       Internally libguestfs uses a message-based protocol to pass API calls and their responses
       to and from a small "appliance" (see "INTERNALS" for plenty more detail about this).  The
       maximum message size used by the protocol is slightly less than 4 MB.  For some API calls
       you may need to be aware of this limit.  The API calls which may be affected are
       individually documented, with a link back to this section of the documentation.

       In libguestfs < 1.19.32, several calls had to encode either their entire argument list or
       their entire return value (or sometimes both)  in a single protocol message, and this gave
       them an arbitrary limitation on how much data they could handle.  For example,
       "guestfs_cat" could only download a file if it was less than around 4 MB in size.  In
       later versions of libguestfs, some of these limits have been removed.  The APIs which were
       previously limited but are now unlimited (except perhaps by available memory) are listed
       below.  To find out if a specific API is subject to protocol limits, check for the warning
       in the API documentation which links to this section, and remember to check the version of
       the documentation that matches the version of libguestfs you are using.

       "guestfs_cat", "guestfs_find", "guestfs_read_file", "guestfs_read_lines", "guestfs_write",
       "guestfs_write_append", "guestfs_lstatlist", "guestfs_lxattrlist", "guestfs_readlinklist",
       "guestfs_ls".

       See also "UPLOADING" and "DOWNLOADING" for further information about copying large amounts
       of data into or out of a filesystem.

   MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DISKS
       In libguestfs ≥ 1.19.7, you can query the maximum number of disks that may be added by
       calling "guestfs_max_disks".  In earlier versions of libguestfs (ie. where this call is
       not available) you should assume the maximum is 25.

       The rest of this section covers implementation details, which could change in future.

       When using virtio-scsi disks (the default if available in qemu) the current limit is 255
       disks.  When using virtio-blk (the old default) the limit is around 27 disks, but may vary
       according to implementation details and whether the network is enabled.

       Virtio-scsi as used by libguestfs is configured to use one target per disk, and 256
       targets are available.

       Virtio-blk consumes 1 virtual PCI slot per disk, and PCI is limited to 31 slots, but some
       of these are used for other purposes.

       One virtual disk is used by libguestfs internally.

       Before libguestfs 1.19.7, disk names had to be a single character (eg. "/dev/sda" through
       "/dev/sdz"), and since one disk is reserved, that meant the limit was 25.  This has been
       fixed in more recent versions.

       In libguestfs ≥ 1.20 it is possible to hot plug disks.  See "HOTPLUGGING".

   MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTITIONS PER DISK
       Virtio limits the maximum number of partitions per disk to 15.

       This is because it reserves 4 bits for the minor device number (thus "/dev/vda", and
       "/dev/vda1" through "/dev/vda15").

       If you attach a disk with more than 15 partitions, the extra partitions are ignored by
       libguestfs.

   MAXIMUM SIZE OF A DISK
       Probably the limit is between 2**63-1 and 2**64-1 bytes.

       We have tested block devices up to 1 exabyte (2**60 or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes)
       using sparse files backed by an XFS host filesystem.

       Although libguestfs probably does not impose any limit, the underlying host storage will.
       If you store disk images on a host ext4 filesystem, then the maximum size will be limited
       by the maximum ext4 file size (currently 16 TB).  If you store disk images as host logical
       volumes then you are limited by the maximum size of an LV.

       For the hugest disk image files, we recommend using XFS on the host for storage.

   MAXIMUM SIZE OF A PARTITION
       The MBR (ie. classic MS-DOS) partitioning scheme uses 32 bit sector numbers.  Assuming a
       512 byte sector size, this means that MBR cannot address a partition located beyond 2 TB
       on the disk.

       It is recommended that you use GPT partitions on disks which are larger than this size.
       GPT uses 64 bit sector numbers and so can address partitions which are theoretically
       larger than the largest disk we could support.

   MAXIMUM SIZE OF A FILESYSTEM, FILES, DIRECTORIES
       This depends on the filesystem type.  libguestfs itself does not impose any known limit.
       Consult Wikipedia or the filesystem documentation to find out what these limits are.

   MAXIMUM UPLOAD AND DOWNLOAD
       The API functions "guestfs_upload", "guestfs_download", "guestfs_tar_in",
       "guestfs_tar_out" and the like allow unlimited sized uploads and downloads.

   INSPECTION LIMITS
       The inspection code has several arbitrary limits on things like the size of Windows
       Registry hive it will read, and the length of product name.  These are intended to stop a
       malicious guest from consuming arbitrary amounts of memory and disk space on the host, and
       should not be reached in practice.  See the source code for more information.

ЗМІННІ СЕРЕДОВИЩА

       FEBOOTSTRAP_KERNEL
       FEBOOTSTRAP_MODULES
           When using supermin ≥ 4.1.0, these have been renamed "SUPERMIN_KERNEL" and
           "SUPERMIN_MODULES".

       LIBGUESTFS_APPEND
           Pass additional options to the guest kernel.

       LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD
           This is the old way to set "LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND".

       LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND
           Choose the default way to create the appliance.  See "guestfs_set_backend" and
           "BACKEND".

       LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR
           The location where libguestfs will cache its appliance, when using a supermin
           appliance.  The appliance is cached and shared between all handles which have the same
           effective user ID.

           If "LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR" is not set, then "TMPDIR" is used.  If "TMPDIR" is not set,
           then "/var/tmp" is used.

           See also "LIBGUESTFS_TMPDIR", "guestfs_set_cachedir".

       LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG
           Set "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1" to enable verbose messages.  This has the same effect as
           calling "guestfs_set_verbose (g, 1)".

       LIBGUESTFS_HV
           Set the default hypervisor (usually qemu) binary that libguestfs uses.  If not set,
           then the qemu which was found at compile time by the configure script is used.

           See also "QEMU WRAPPERS" above.

       LIBGUESTFS_MEMSIZE
           Set the memory allocated to the qemu process, in megabytes.  For example:

            LIBGUESTFS_MEMSIZE=700

       LIBGUESTFS_PATH
           Set the path that libguestfs uses to search for a supermin appliance.  See the
           discussion of paths in section "PATH" above.

       LIBGUESTFS_QEMU
           This is the old way to set "LIBGUESTFS_HV".

       LIBGUESTFS_TMPDIR
           The location where libguestfs will store temporary files used by each handle.

           If "LIBGUESTFS_TMPDIR" is not set, then "TMPDIR" is used.  If "TMPDIR" is not set,
           then "/tmp" is used.

           See also "LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR", "guestfs_set_tmpdir".

       LIBGUESTFS_TRACE
           Set "LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1" to enable command traces.  This has the same effect as
           calling "guestfs_set_trace (g, 1)".

       ШЛЯХ
           Libguestfs may run some external programs, and relies on $PATH being set to a
           reasonable value.  If using the libvirt backend, libvirt will not work at all unless
           $PATH contains the path of qemu/KVM.  Note that PHP by default removes $PATH from the
           environment which tends to break everything.

       SUPERMIN_KERNEL
       SUPERMIN_MODULES
           These two environment variables allow the kernel that libguestfs uses in the appliance
           to be selected.  If $SUPERMIN_KERNEL is not set, then the most recent host kernel is
           chosen.  For more information about kernel selection, see supermin-helper(8).  This
           feature is only available in supermin / febootstrap ≥ 3.8.

       TMPDIR
           See "LIBGUESTFS_CACHEDIR", "LIBGUESTFS_TMPDIR".
