This commit changes guestfs_launch so that it both launches the appliance and waits until it is ready (ie. the daemon communicates back to us). Since we removed the pretence that we could implement a low-level asynchronous API, the need to call launch() followed by wait_ready() has looked a bit silly. Now guestfs_wait_ready() is basically a no-op. It is left in the API for backwards compatibility. Any calls to guestfs_wait_ready() can be removed from client code.
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
