-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-13081 2010-08-20 00:56:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : libguestfs Product : Fedora 12 Version : 1.2.11 Release : 1.fc12 URL : http://libguestfs.org/ Summary : Access and modify virtual machine disk images Description : Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also: virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and much else besides. Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk. Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions, LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.). It can also run commands in the context of the guest. Libguestfs is a library that can be linked with C and C++ management programs. See also the 'guestfish' package for shell scripting and command line access, and 'libguestfs-mount' for mounting guest filesystems on the host using FUSE. For Perl bindings, see 'perl-libguestfs'. For OCaml bindings, see 'ocaml-libguestfs-devel'. For Python bindings, see 'python-libguestfs'. For Ruby bindings, see 'ruby-libguestfs'. For Java bindings, see 'libguestfs-java-devel'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to new stable version.
