Summary : Access and modify virtual machine disk images
Description :
Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine

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

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

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

libguestfs C library
libguestfs-tools virt-* tools, guestfish and guestmount (FUSE)

(for reduced dependencies)
virt-dib safe and secure diskimage-builder replacement
