+=head2 guestfs_cp
+
+ int guestfs_cp (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *src,
+ const char *dest);
+
+This copies a file from C<src> to C<dest> where C<dest> is
+either a destination filename or destination directory.
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_cp_a
+
+ int guestfs_cp_a (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *src,
+ const char *dest);
+
+This copies a file or directory from C<src> to C<dest>
+recursively using the C<cp -a> command.
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_debug
+
+ char *guestfs_debug (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *subcmd,
+ char * const* const extraargs);
+
+The C<guestfs_debug> command exposes some internals of
+C<guestfsd> (the guestfs daemon) that runs inside the
+qemu subprocess.
+
+There is no comprehensive help for this command. You have
+to look at the file C<daemon/debug.c> in the libguestfs source
+to find out what you can do.
+
+This function returns a string, or NULL on error.
+I<The caller must free the returned string after use>.
+
+=head2 guestfs_dmesg
+
+ char *guestfs_dmesg (guestfs_h *handle);
+
+This returns the kernel messages (C<dmesg> output) from
+the guest kernel. This is sometimes useful for extended
+debugging of problems.
+
+Another way to get the same information is to enable
+verbose messages with C<guestfs_set_verbose> or by setting
+the environment variable C<LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1> before
+running the program.
+
+This function returns a string, or NULL on error.
+I<The caller must free the returned string after use>.
+
+=head2 guestfs_download
+
+ int guestfs_download (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *remotefilename,
+ const char *filename);
+
+Download file C<remotefilename> and save it as C<filename>
+on the local machine.
+
+C<filename> can also be a named pipe.
+
+See also C<guestfs_upload>, C<guestfs_cat>.
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_drop_caches
+
+ int guestfs_drop_caches (guestfs_h *handle,
+ int whattodrop);
+
+This instructs the guest kernel to drop its page cache,
+and/or dentries and inode caches. The parameter C<whattodrop>
+tells the kernel what precisely to drop, see
+L<http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches>
+
+Setting C<whattodrop> to 3 should drop everything.
+
+This automatically calls L<sync(2)> before the operation,
+so that the maximum guest memory is freed.
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_e2fsck_f
+
+ int guestfs_e2fsck_f (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *device);
+
+This runs C<e2fsck -p -f device>, ie. runs the ext2/ext3
+filesystem checker on C<device>, noninteractively (C<-p>),
+even if the filesystem appears to be clean (C<-f>).
+
+This command is only needed because of C<guestfs_resize2fs>
+(q.v.). Normally you should use C<guestfs_fsck>.
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_end_busy
+
+ int guestfs_end_busy (guestfs_h *handle);
+
+This sets the state to C<READY>, or if in C<CONFIG> then it leaves the
+state as is. This is only used when implementing
+actions using the low-level API.
+
+For more information on states, see L<guestfs(3)>.
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_equal
+
+ int guestfs_equal (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *file1,
+ const char *file2);
+
+This compares the two files C<file1> and C<file2> and returns
+true if their content is exactly equal, or false otherwise.
+
+The external L<cmp(1)> program is used for the comparison.
+
+This function returns a C truth value on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_exists
+
+ int guestfs_exists (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *path);
+
+This returns C<true> if and only if there is a file, directory
+(or anything) with the given C<path> name.
+
+See also C<guestfs_is_file>, C<guestfs_is_dir>, C<guestfs_stat>.
+
+This function returns a C truth value on success or -1 on error.
+
+=head2 guestfs_file
+
+ char *guestfs_file (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *path);
+
+This call uses the standard L<file(1)> command to determine
+the type or contents of the file. This also works on devices,
+for example to find out whether a partition contains a filesystem.
+
+The exact command which runs is C<file -bsL path>. Note in
+particular that the filename is not prepended to the output
+(the C<-b> option).
+
+This function returns a string, or NULL on error.
+I<The caller must free the returned string after use>.
+
+=head2 guestfs_find
+
+ char **guestfs_find (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *directory);
+
+This command lists out all files and directories, recursively,
+starting at C<directory>. It is essentially equivalent to
+running the shell command C<find directory -print> but some
+post-processing happens on the output, described below.
+
+This returns a list of strings I<without any prefix>. Thus
+if the directory structure was:
+
+ /tmp/a
+ /tmp/b
+ /tmp/c/d
+
+then the returned list from C<guestfs_find> C</tmp> would be
+4 elements:
+
+ a
+ b
+ c
+ c/d
+
+If C<directory> is not a directory, then this command returns
+an error.
+
+The returned list is sorted.
+
+This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings
+(like L<environ(3)>), or NULL if there was an error.
+I<The caller must free the strings and the array after use>.
+
+=head2 guestfs_fsck
+
+ int guestfs_fsck (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *fstype,
+ const char *device);
+
+This runs the filesystem checker (fsck) on C<device> which
+should have filesystem type C<fstype>.
+
+The returned integer is the status. See L<fsck(8)> for the
+list of status codes from C<fsck>.
+
+Notes:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+Multiple status codes can be summed together.
+
+=item *
+
+A non-zero return code can mean "success", for example if
+errors have been corrected on the filesystem.
+
+=item *
+
+Checking or repairing NTFS volumes is not supported
+(by linux-ntfs).
+
+=back
+
+This command is entirely equivalent to running C<fsck -a -t fstype device>.
+
+On error this function returns -1.
+
+=head2 guestfs_get_append
+
+ const char *guestfs_get_append (guestfs_h *handle);
+
+Return the additional kernel options which are added to the
+guest kernel command line.
+
+If C<NULL> then no options are added.
+
+This function returns a string, or NULL on error.
+The string is owned by the guest handle and must I<not> be freed.
+
