libguestfs/perl
Richard Jones 2eb19f5261 New API calls: truncate, truncate_size, mkdir_mode, utimens, lchown.
truncate, truncate_size: Used to truncate files to a particular
size, or to zero bytes.

mkdir_mode: Like mkdir but allows you to also specify the
initial permissions for the new directory.

utimens: Set timestamp on a file with nanosecond accuracy.

lchown: Corresponding to lchown(2) syscall (we already have chown).

The implementation is complicated by the fact that we had to
add an Int64 parameter type to the generator.

Sys::Guestfs
------------

This directory contains the Perl bindings for the libguestfs API.

The basic libguestfs bindings have the name 'Sys::Guestfs'.

As with all other language bindings, these bindings are generated
automatically.  See src/generator.ml.

Sys::Guestfs::Lib
-----------------

Because we use Perl for writing lots of additional tools around
libguestfs, the Perl bindings also contain an extra library of useful
functions, called 'Sys::Guestfs::Lib'.  This extra library is entirely
optional, and only enhances the usefulness of the ordinary libguestfs
API.

One of the features of this library is tighter libvirt integration.
