of somewhere between 2MB and 4MB. To transfer large files you should use
FTP.
+=head2 checksum
+
+ checksum csumtype path
+
+This call computes the MD5, SHAx or CRC checksum of the
+file named C<path>.
+
+The type of checksum to compute is given by the C<csumtype>
+parameter which must have one of the following values:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<crc>
+
+Compute the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) specified by POSIX
+for the C<cksum> command.
+
+=item C<md5>
+
+Compute the MD5 hash (using the C<md5sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha1>
+
+Compute the SHA1 hash (using the C<sha1sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha224>
+
+Compute the SHA224 hash (using the C<sha224sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha256>
+
+Compute the SHA256 hash (using the C<sha256sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha384>
+
+Compute the SHA384 hash (using the C<sha384sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha512>
+
+Compute the SHA512 hash (using the C<sha512sum> program).
+
+=back
+
+The checksum is returned as a printable string.

=head2 chmod
chmod mode path
=head2 command
- command arguments,...
+ command 'arguments ...'
This call runs a command from the guest filesystem. The
filesystem must be mounted, and must contain a compatible
=head2 command-lines
- command-lines arguments,...
+ command-lines 'arguments ...'
This is the same as C<command>, but splits the
result into a list of lines.
This is always non-NULL. If it wasn't set already, then this will
return the default path.
+=head2 get-qemu
+
+ get-qemu
+
+Return the current qemu binary.
+
+This is always non-NULL. If it wasn't set already, then this will
+return the default qemu binary name.
+
=head2 get-state
get-state
The filesystem options C<sync> and C<noatime> are set with this
call, in order to improve reliability.
+=head2 mount-options
+
+ mount-options options device mountpoint
+
+This is the same as the C<mount> command, but it
+allows you to set the mount options as for the
+L<mount(8)> I<-o> flag.
+
+=head2 mount-ro
+
+ mount-ro device mountpoint
+
+This is the same as the C<mount> command, but it
+mounts the filesystem with the read-only (I<-o ro>) flag.
+
+=head2 mount-vfs
+
+ mount-vfs options vfstype device mountpoint
+
+This is the same as the C<mount> command, but it
+allows you to set both the mount options and the vfstype
+as for the L<mount(8)> I<-o> and I<-t> flags.
+
=head2 mounts
mounts
Setting C<path> to C<NULL> restores the default path.
+=head2 set-qemu | qemu
+
+ set-qemu qemu
+
+Set the qemu binary that we will use.
+
+The default is chosen when the library was compiled by the
+configure script.
+
+You can also override this by setting the C<LIBGUESTFS_QEMU>
+environment variable.
+
+The string C<qemu> is stashed in the libguestfs handle, so the caller
+must make sure it remains valid for the lifetime of the handle.
+
+Setting C<qemu> to C<NULL> restores the default qemu binary.
+
=head2 set-verbose | verbose
set-verbose true|false
=head2 sfdisk
- sfdisk device cyls heads sectors lines,...
+ sfdisk device cyls heads sectors 'lines ...'
This is a direct interface to the L<sfdisk(8)> program for creating
partitions on block devices.
You should always call this if you have modified a disk image, before
closing the handle.
+=head2 tar-in
+
+ tar-in (tarfile|-) directory
+
+This command uploads and unpacks local file C<tarfile> (an
+I<uncompressed> tar file) into C<directory>.
+
+To upload a compressed tarball, use C<tgz_in>.
+
+Use C<-> instead of a filename to read/write from stdin/stdout.
+
+=head2 tar-out
+
+ tar-out directory (tarfile|-)
+
+This command packs the contents of C<directory> and downloads
+it to local file C<tarfile>.
+
+To download a compressed tarball, use C<tgz_out>.
+
+Use C<-> instead of a filename to read/write from stdin/stdout.
+
+=head2 tgz-in
+
+ tgz-in (tarball|-) directory
+
+This command uploads and unpacks local file C<tarball> (a
+I<gzip compressed> tar file) into C<directory>.
+
+To upload an uncompressed tarball, use C<tar_in>.
+
+Use C<-> instead of a filename to read/write from stdin/stdout.
+
+=head2 tgz-out
+
+ tgz-out directory (tarball|-)
+
+This command packs the contents of C<directory> and downloads
+it to local file C<tarball>.
+
+To download an uncompressed tarball, use C<tar_out>.
+
+Use C<-> instead of a filename to read/write from stdin/stdout.
+
=head2 touch
touch path
=head2 vgcreate
- vgcreate volgroup physvols,...
+ vgcreate volgroup 'physvols ...'
This creates an LVM volume group called C<volgroup>
from the non-empty list of physical volumes C<physvols>.
