+Perl does not offer a way to list the arguments of a method, and
+from time to time we may add extra arguments to calls that take
+optional arguments.  For this reason, we provide a global hash
+variable C<%%guestfs_introspection> which contains the arguments
+and their types for each libguestfs method.  The keys of this
+hash are the method names, and the values are an hashref
+containing useful introspection information about the method
+(further fields may be added to this in future).

 build, use the L</available> method like the example below.  Note
 that the appliance must be launched first.
