similar to: [PATCH 0/2] Deprecate zfile

This series of patches aim to make adding disks from libvirt domains easy through the core API. These two new APIs allow you to add the disks from a libvirt domain. The higher level add-domain API takes the name of the libvirt domain as a string and connects to libvirt itself. The lower level add-libvirt-dom API relies on the program to connect to libvirt and pass the virDomainPtr into the API

1/2 is just small code motion. 2/2 reworks the tmpdir and appliance cache directory code. See the commit comment for the full details.

virt-ls has felt a little unloved for a long time. With this patch series, it turns into quite a useful tool for doing forensics and monitoring of VMs, and looking for changes to files. I have added the 'virt-ls -lR' output mode (the combination of -l and -R was previously unused). In this mode you get a recursive list of files and directories, with extra stat information and optionally

This patch series adds support for outputing an ext2-based appliance from febootstrap-supermin-helper. The usage is very simple, you just add '-f ext2' flag and the name of the appliance file that you want to write to. The implementation uses libext2fs, which is a very low level way to create ext2 filesystems from scratch. We'd like to use libguestfs, but that's an obvious

These patches are a distillation of the good patches from the previous large / for-discussion-only error handling patch.

This series of patches prepares the way for a later series which will add write support for Windows Registry 'hive' files to our 'hivex' mini library. About hivex: http://libguestfs.org/hivex.3.html About the Windows Registry: Forget it - there are no reliable references. However the Wikipedia page explains some of the top level concepts:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619334 This is a slightly unsatisfactory patch which allows coredumps to be captured when they occur inside the appliance. You can capture coredumps by doing: export LIBGUESTFS_COREDUMP=/sysroot/core.%t.%p.%e or equivalently: g.set_coredump ("/sysroot/core.%t.%p.%e") or variations thereof, see the manual page. When a coredump occurs,

Hi all, I have a long term running program which call libguestfs to check VM images. but i found that each time after i call guestfs_close(), the qeum-system-x86 process which is forked by libguestfs changes to <defunct> process. as docs of guestfs_close said "This closes the connection handle and frees up all resources used.", so this is a bug or is there any other way to
