80 "Libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk images. "
81 "Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration changes to "
82 "guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also: virt-df), migrating "
83 "between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v), performing partial "
84 "backups, performing partial guest clones, cloning guests and changing "

369 #: ../src/guestfs.pod:173
371 "If you are given a disk image and you don't know what it contains then you "
372 "have to find out. Libguestfs can do that too: use "

374 "and LVs, and either try mounting each to see what is mountable, or else "
375 "examine them with L</guestfs_vfs_type> or L</guestfs_file>. Libguestfs also "
376 "has a set of APIs for inspection of disk images (see L</INSPECTION> below). "
