aug-ls path
This is just a shortcut for listing C<aug_match>
-C<path/*> and sorting the files into alphabetical order.
+C<path/*> and sorting the resulting nodes into alphabetical order.
=head2 aug-match
as end of string). For those you need to use the C<read_file>
function which has a more complex interface.
+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 chmod
+
+ chmod mode path
+
+Change the mode (permissions) of C<path> to C<mode>. Only
+numeric modes are supported.
+
+=head2 chown
+
+ chown owner group path
+
+Change the file owner to C<owner> and group to C<group>.
+
+Only numeric uid and gid are supported. If you want to use
+names, you will need to locate and parse the password file
+yourself (Augeas support makes this relatively easy).
+
=head2 config
config qemuparam qemuvalue
C<value> can be NULL.
+=head2 exists
+
+ exists 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<is_file>, C<is_dir>, C<stat>.
+
=head2 get-autosync
get-autosync
This returns the verbose messages flag.
+=head2 is-dir
+
+ is-dir path
+
+This returns C<true> if and only if there is a directory
+with the given C<path> name. Note that it returns false for
+other objects like files.
+
+See also C<stat>.
+
+=head2 is-file
+
+ is-file path
+
+This returns C<true> if and only if there is a file
+with the given C<path> name. Note that it returns false for
+other objects like directories.
+
+See also C<stat>.
+
=head2 kill-subprocess
kill-subprocess
This command is mostly useful for interactive sessions. Programs
should probably use C<readdir> instead.
+=head2 lvcreate
+
+ lvcreate logvol volgroup mbytes
+
+This creates an LVM volume group called C<logvol>
+on the volume group C<volgroup>, with C<size> megabytes.
+
+=head2 lvm-remove-all
+
+ lvm-remove-all
+
+This command removes all LVM logical volumes, volume groups
+and physical volumes.
+
+B<This command is dangerous. Without careful use you
+can easily destroy all your data>.
+
=head2 lvs
lvs
List all the logical volumes detected. This is the equivalent
of the L<lvs(8)> command. The "full" version includes all fields.
+=head2 mkdir
+
+ mkdir path
+
+Create a directory named C<path>.
+
+=head2 mkdir-p
+
+ mkdir-p path
+
+Create a directory named C<path>, creating any parent directories
+as necessary. This is like the C<mkdir -p> shell command.
+
+=head2 mkfs
+
+ mkfs fstype device
+
+This creates a filesystem on C<device> (usually a partition
+of LVM logical volume). The filesystem type is C<fstype>, for
+example C<ext3>.
+
=head2 mount
mount device mountpoint
The filesystem options C<sync> and C<noatime> are set with this
call, in order to improve reliability.
+=head2 mounts
+
+ mounts
+
+This returns the list of currently mounted filesystems. It returns
+the list of devices (eg. C</dev/sda1>, C</dev/VG/LV>).
+
+Some internal mounts are not shown.
+
+=head2 pvcreate
+
+ pvcreate device
+
+This creates an LVM physical volume on the named C<device>,
+where C<device> should usually be a partition name such
+as C</dev/sda1>.
+
=head2 pvs
pvs
as end of line). For those you need to use the C<read_file>
function which has a more complex interface.
+=head2 rm
+
+ rm path
+
+Remove the single file C<path>.
+
+=head2 rm-rf
+
+ rm-rf path
+
+Remove the file or directory C<path>, recursively removing the
+contents if its a directory. This is like the C<rm -rf> shell
+command.
+
+=head2 rmdir
+
+ rmdir path
+
+Remove the single directory C<path>.
+
=head2 set-autosync | autosync
set-autosync true|false
Verbose messages are disabled unless the environment variable
C<LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG> is defined and set to C<1>.
+=head2 sfdisk
+
+ sfdisk device cyls heads sectors lines,...
+
+This is a direct interface to the L<sfdisk(8)> program for creating
+partitions on block devices.
+
+C<device> should be a block device, for example C</dev/sda>.
+
+C<cyls>, C<heads> and C<sectors> are the number of cylinders, heads
+and sectors on the device, which are passed directly to sfdisk as
+the I<-C>, I<-H> and I<-S> parameters. If you pass C<0> for any
+of these, then the corresponding parameter is omitted. Usually for
+'large' disks, you can just pass C<0> for these, but for small
+(floppy-sized) disks, sfdisk (or rather, the kernel) cannot work
+out the right geometry and you will need to tell it.
+
+C<lines> is a list of lines that we feed to C<sfdisk>. For more
+information refer to the L<sfdisk(8)> manpage.
+
+To create a single partition occupying the whole disk, you would
+pass C<lines> as a single element list, when the single element being
+the string C<,> (comma).
+
+B<This command is dangerous. Without careful use you
+can easily destroy all your data>.
+
=head2 sync
sync
update the timestamps on a file, or, if the file does not exist,
to create a new zero-length file.
+=head2 umount | unmount
+
+ umount pathordevice
+
+This unmounts the given filesystem. The filesystem may be
+specified either by its mountpoint (path) or the device which
+contains the filesystem.
+
+=head2 umount-all | unmount-all
+
+ umount-all
+
+This unmounts all mounted filesystems.
+
+Some internal mounts are not unmounted by this call.
+
+=head2 vgcreate
+
+ vgcreate volgroup physvols,...
+
+This creates an LVM volume group called C<volgroup>
+from the non-empty list of physical volumes C<physvols>.
+
=head2 vgs
vgs
List all the volumes groups detected. This is the equivalent
of the L<vgs(8)> command. The "full" version includes all fields.
+=head2 write-file
+
+ write-file path content size
+
+This call creates a file called C<path>. The contents of the
+file is the string C<content> (which can contain any 8 bit data),
+with length C<size>.
+
+As a special case, if C<size> is C<0>
+then the length is calculated using C<strlen> (so in this case
+the content cannot contain embedded ASCII NULs).
+
+Because of the message protocol, there is a transfer limit
+of somewhere between 2MB and 4MB. To transfer large files you should use
+FTP.
