C<c:\windows\system32>. When the filesystem is mounted in libguestfs,
that directory might be referred to as C</WINDOWS/System32>.
-Drive letter mappings are outside the scope of libguestfs. You have
-to use libguestfs to read the appropriate Windows Registry and
-configuration files, to determine yourself how drives are mapped (see
-also L<hivex(3)> and L<virt-inspector(1)>).
+Drive letter mappings can be found using inspection
+(see L</INSPECTION> and L</guestfs_inspect_get_drive_mappings>)
-Replacing backslash characters with forward slash characters is also
-outside the scope of libguestfs, but something that you can easily do.
+Dealing with separator characters (backslash vs forward slash) is
+outside the scope of libguestfs, but usually a simple character
+replacement will work.
-Where we can help is in resolving the case insensitivity of paths.
-For this, call L</guestfs_case_sensitive_path>.
+To resolve the case insensitivity of paths, call

=item *
If any progress notification is sent during a call, then a final
-progress notification is always sent when C<position> = C<total>.
+progress notification is always sent when C<position> = C<total>
+(I<unless> the call fails with an error).
This is to simplify caller code, so callers can easily set the
progress indicator to "100%" at the end of the operation, without
requiring special code to detect this case.

+
+For some calls we are unable to estimate the progress of the call, but
+we can still generate progress messages to indicate activity. This is
+known as "pulse mode", and is directly supported by certain progress
+bar implementations (eg. GtkProgressBar).
+
+For these calls, zero or more progress messages are generated with
+C<position = 0> and C<total = 1>, followed by a final message with
+C<position = total = 1>.
+
+As noted above, if the call fails with an error then the final message
+may not be generated.
