+
+The guestfs module provides a Python binding to the libguestfs API
+for examining and modifying virtual machine disk images.
+
+Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration
+changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also:
+virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also:
+virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest
+clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and
+much else besides.
+
+Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of
+guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited
+to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition
+schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.
+
+Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions,
+LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.). It can also run commands
+in the context of the guest. Also you can access filesystems over FTP.
+
+Errors which happen while using the API are turned into Python
+RuntimeError exceptions.
+
+To create a guestfs handle you usually have to perform the following
+sequence of calls:
+
+# Create the handle, call add_drive at least once, and possibly
+# several times if the guest has multiple block devices:
+g = guestfs.GuestFS ()
+g.add_drive (\"guest.img\")
+
+# Launch the qemu subprocess and wait for it to become ready:
+g.launch ()
+g.wait_ready ()
+
+# Now you can issue commands, for example:
+logvols = g.lvs ()
