43 * indication, ie. 0 or -1.
47 (* "RInt" as a return value means an int which is -1 for error
48 * or any value >= 0 on success. Only use this for smallish

55 * (so -1 cannot be a valid, non-error return value).

75 * "RConstString". The returned string may be NULL and there
76 * is no way to return an error indication. Avoid using this!

80 (* "RString" is a returned string. It must NOT be NULL, since
81 * a NULL return indicates an error. The caller frees this.
85 (* "RStringList" is a list of strings. No string in the list

88 | RStringList of string
90 (* "RStruct" is a function which returns a single named structure
91 * or an error indication (in C, a struct, and in other languages
92 * with varying representations, but usually very efficient). See
93 * after the function list below for the structures.

111 (* "RBufferOut" is handled almost exactly like RString, but
112 * it allows the string to contain arbitrary 8 bit data including

1365 C<device> should be a block device, for example C</dev/sda>.
1367 C<cyls>, C<heads> and C<sectors> are the number of cylinders, heads
1368 and sectors on the device, which are passed directly to sfdisk as
1369 the I<-C>, I<-H> and I<-S> parameters. If you pass C<0> for any
1370 of these, then the corresponding parameter is omitted. Usually for
1371 'large' disks, you can just pass C<0> for these, but for small
1372 (floppy-sized) disks, sfdisk (or rather, the kernel) cannot work
1373 out the right geometry and you will need to tell it.
1375 C<lines> is a list of lines that we feed to C<sfdisk>. For more
1376 information refer to the L<sfdisk(8)> manpage.
1378 To create a single partition occupying the whole disk, you would
1379 pass C<lines> as a single element list, when the single element being

3341 The inotify subsystem can be used to notify events which happen to

3348 default is used. For Linux 2.6.29 the default was 16384 events.
3349 Beyond this limit, the kernel throws away events, but records
3350 the fact that it threw them away by setting a flag
3351 C<IN_Q_OVERFLOW> in the returned structure list (see
3352 C<guestfs_inotify_read>).

3357 C<guestfs_inotify_rm_watch> and
3358 C<guestfs_inotify_watch_all>.
