Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. http://libguestfs.org It can be used to make batch configuration changes to guests, get disk used/free statistics (virt-df), migrate between hypervisors (virt-p2v, virt-v2v), perform backups and guest clones, change registry/UUID/hostname info, build guests from scratch (virt-builder) and much more. Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk. Libguestfs for Fedora is split into several subpackages. The basic subpackages are: libguestfs C library libguestfs-tools virt-* tools, guestfish and guestmount (FUSE) libguestfs-tools-c only the subset of virt tools written in C (for reduced dependencies) For enhanced features, install: libguestfs-gfs2 adds Global Filesystem (GFS2) support libguestfs-hfsplus adds HFS+ (Mac filesystem) support libguestfs-jfs adds JFS support libguestfs-nilfs adds NILFS v2 support libguestfs-reiserfs adds ReiserFS support libguestfs-rescue enhances virt-rescue shell with more tools libguestfs-rsync rsync to/from guest filesystems libguestfs-xfs adds XFS support libguestfs-zfs adds ZFS support Language bindings: libguestfs-devel C/C++ header files and library erlang-libguestfs Erlang bindings libguestfs-gobject-devel GObject bindings and GObject Introspection golang-guestfs Go language bindings libguestfs-java-devel Java bindings lua-guestfs Lua bindings ocaml-libguestfs-devel OCaml bindings perl-Sys-Guestfs Perl bindings php-libguestfs PHP bindings python-libguestfs Python bindings ruby-libguestfs Ruby bindings

libguestfs-appliance provides the appliance used by libguestfs.
Install this package if you want intelligent bash tab-completion for guestfish, guestmount and various virt-* tools.
libguestfs-devel contains development tools and libraries for libguestfs.
This adds GFS2 support to libguestfs. Install it if you want to process disk images containing GFS2.
