They will be removed in libguestfs 1.58 (the next but one version). Currently they don't actually compile. The larger problem is that they don't handle 64 bit quantities properly (using floats instead), meaning that any disk size or offset above a certain size will be improperly passed through the API, usually rounded to the nearest 53 bits.
This directory contains various example programs which use the perl Sys::Guestfs bindings to the libguestfs API. As they are examples, these are licensed so they can be freely copied and used without any restrictions. Tips: (1) To enable verbose messages, set environment variable LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 (2) To run a program without installing the library, set PERL5LIB and LIBGUESTFS_PATH as in this example (if run from the root directory of the source distribution): LIBGUESTFS_PATH=$(pwd)/appliance \ PERL5LIB=$(pwd)/perl/blib/lib:$(pwd)/perl/blib/arch/auto/Sys/Guestfs \ perl/examples/foo
