Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying virtual machine
Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration disk images. http://libguestfs.org
changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also:
virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also: It can be used to make batch configuration changes to guests, get
virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest disk used/free statistics (virt-df), migrate between hypervisors
clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and (virt-p2v, virt-v2v), perform backups and guest clones, change
much else besides. registry/UUID/hostname info, build guests from scratch (virt-builder)
and much more.

Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions, Libguestfs for Fedora is split into several subpackages. The basic
LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.). It can also run commands subpackages are:

Libguestfs is a library that can be linked with C and C++ management libguestfs C library
programs. libguestfs-tools virt-* tools, guestfish and guestmount (FUSE)
