+ int guestfs_blockdev_flushbufs (guestfs_h *handle,
+               const char *device);
+
+This tells the kernel to flush internal buffers associated

+=head2 guestfs_blockdev_getbsz
+
+ int guestfs_blockdev_getbsz (guestfs_h *handle,
+               const char *device);
+
+This returns the block size of a device.
+
+(Note this is different from both I<size in blocks> and
+I<filesystem block size>).
+
+This uses the L<blockdev(8)> command.
+
+On error this function returns -1.

+=head2 guestfs_blockdev_getro
+
+ int guestfs_blockdev_getro (guestfs_h *handle,
+               const char *device);
+
+Returns a boolean indicating if the block device is read-only
+(true if read-only, false if not).
+
+This uses the L<blockdev(8)> command.
+
+This function returns a C truth value on success or -1 on error.

+
+ int64_t guestfs_blockdev_getsize64 (guestfs_h *handle,
+               const char *device);
+
+This returns the size of the device in bytes.

+=head2 guestfs_blockdev_getss
+
+ int guestfs_blockdev_getss (guestfs_h *handle,
+               const char *device);
+
+This returns the size of sectors on a block device.
+Usually 512, but can be larger for modern devices.
+
+(Note, this is not the size in sectors, use C<guestfs_blockdev_getsz>
+for that).
+
+This uses the L<blockdev(8)> command.

+=head2 guestfs_blockdev_getsz
+
+ int64_t guestfs_blockdev_getsz (guestfs_h *handle,
+               const char *device);
+
+This returns the size of the device in units of 512-byte sectors
+(even if the sectorsize isn't 512 bytes ... weird).
+
+See also C<guestfs_blockdev_getss> for the real sector size of
+the device, and C<guestfs_blockdev_getsize64> for the more
