Return the contents of the file named C<path>.
-This function returns a string or NULL on error. The caller
-must free the returned string after use.
+Note that this function cannot correctly handle binary files
+(specifically, files containing C<\0> character which is treated
+as end of string). For those you need to use the C<guestfs_read_file>
+function which has a more complex interface.
+
+This function returns a string or NULL on error.
+I<The caller must free the returned string after use>.
Because of the message protocol, there is a transfer limit
of somewhere between 2MB and 4MB. To transfer large files you should use
FTP.
+=head2 guestfs_list_devices
+
+ char **guestfs_list_devices (guestfs_h *handle);
+
+List all the block devices.
+
+The full block device names are returned, eg. C</dev/sda>
+
+
+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_list_partitions
+
+ char **guestfs_list_partitions (guestfs_h *handle);
+
+List all the partitions detected on all block devices.
+
+The full partition device names are returned, eg. C</dev/sda1>
+
+This does not return logical volumes. For that you will need to
+call C<guestfs_lvs>.
+
+This function returns a NULL-terminated array of strings
+(like L<environ(3)>), or NULL if there was an error.
