Package libguestfs

Access and modify virtual machine disk images

Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine
disk images.  libguestfs.org

It can be used to make batch configuration changes to guests, get disk
used/free statistics (virt-df), perform backups and guest clones,
change registry/UUID/hostname info, build guests from scratch
(virt-builder) and much more.

Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of
guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited
to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition
schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.

Libguestfs is split into several subpackages.  The basic subpackages are:

       libguestfs-tools-c  only the subset of virt tools written in C
                             (for reduced dependencies)
