+
+ int guestfs_write_file (guestfs_h *handle,
+ const char *path,
+ const char *content,
+ int 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).
+
+This function returns 0 on success or -1 on error.
+
+Because of the message protocol, there is a transfer limit
+of somewhere between 2MB and 4MB. To transfer large files you should use
+FTP.
