+=head2 guestfs_add_cdrom
+
+ int guestfs_add_cdrom (guestfs_h *handle,

+=head2 guestfs_add_drive
+
+ int guestfs_add_drive (guestfs_h *handle,

+disk 0 (C</dev/sda>) in the guest, the second time as C</dev/sdb>, and
+so on.
+
+You don't necessarily need to be root when using libguestfs. However
+you obviously do need sufficient permissions to access the filename
+for whatever operations you want to perform (ie. read access if you

+C<name> will be the nodeset containing that single node.
+
+On success this returns a pair containing the

+
+The exact command which runs is C<file -bsL path>. Note in

+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.
