This function uses other libguestfs functions and certain
heuristics to inspect the disk(s) (usually disks belonging to
a virtual machine), looking for operating systems.
The list returned is empty if no operating systems were found.
If one operating system was found, then this returns a list with
a single element, which is the name of the root filesystem of
this operating system. It is also possible for this function
to return a list containing more than one element, indicating
a dual-boot or multi-boot virtual machine, with each element being
the root filesystem of one of the operating systems.
You can pass the root string(s) returned to other
C<guestfs_inspect_get_*> functions in order to query further
information about each operating system, such as the name
and version.
This function uses other libguestfs features such as
C<guestfs_mount_ro> and C<guestfs_umount_all> in order to mount
and unmount filesystems and look at the contents. This should
be called with no disks currently mounted. The function may also
use Augeas, so any existing Augeas handle will be closed.
This function cannot decrypt encrypted disks. The caller
must do that first (supplying the necessary keys) if the
disk is encrypted.

This call is useful for Windows which uses a primitive system
of assigning drive letters (like F<C:\\>) to partitions.
This inspection API examines the Windows Registry to find out
how disks/partitions are mapped to drive letters, and returns
a hash table as in the example below:
C => /dev/vda2
E => /dev/vdb1
F => /dev/vdc1
Note that keys are drive letters. For Windows, the key is
case insensitive and just contains the drive letter, without
the customary colon separator character.
In future we may support other operating systems that also used drive
letters, but the keys for those might not be case insensitive
and might be longer than 1 character. For example in OS-9,
hard drives were named C<h0>, C<h1> etc.
For Windows guests, currently only hard drive mappings are
returned. Removable disks (eg. DVD-ROMs) are ignored.
For guests that do not use drive mappings, or if the drive mappings
could not be determined, this returns an empty hash table.
Please read L<guestfs(3)/INSPECTION> for more details.

C<guestfs_inspect_get_filesystems>." };

Return the list of applications installed in the operating system.
I<Note:> This call works differently from other parts of the
inspection API. You have to call C<guestfs_inspect_os>, then
C<guestfs_inspect_get_mountpoints>, then mount up the disks,
before calling this. Listing applications is a significantly
more difficult operation which requires access to the full
filesystem. Also note that unlike the other
C<guestfs_inspect_get_*> calls which are just returning
data cached in the libguestfs handle, this call actually reads
parts of the mounted filesystems during the call.
This returns an empty list if the inspection code was not able
to determine the list of applications.
The application structure contains the following fields:
=over 4
=item C<app2_name>
The name of the application. For Linux guests, this is the package
name.
=item C<app2_display_name>
The display name of the application, sometimes localized to the
install language of the guest operating system.
If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
Callers needing to display something can use C<app2_name> instead.
=item C<app2_epoch>
For package managers which use epochs, this contains the epoch of
the package (an integer). If unavailable, this is returned as C<0>.
=item C<app2_version>
The version string of the application or package. If unavailable
this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_release>
The release string of the application or package, for package
managers that use this. If unavailable this is returned as an
empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_arch>
The architecture string of the application or package, for package
managers that use this. If unavailable this is returned as an empty
string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_install_path>
The installation path of the application (on operating systems
such as Windows which use installation paths). This path is
in the format used by the guest operating system, it is not
a libguestfs path.
If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_trans_path>
The install path translated into a libguestfs path.
If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_publisher>
The name of the publisher of the application, for package
managers that use this. If unavailable this is returned
as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_url>
The URL (eg. upstream URL) of the application.
If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_source_package>
For packaging systems which support this, the name of the source
package. If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_summary>
A short (usually one line) description of the application or package.
If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.
=item C<app2_description>
A longer description of the application or package.
If unavailable this is returned as an empty string C<\"\">.

This function returns an icon corresponding to the inspected
operating system. The icon is returned as a buffer containing a
PNG image (re-encoded to PNG if necessary).
If it was not possible to get an icon this function returns a
zero-length (non-NULL) buffer. I<Callers must check for this case>.
Libguestfs will start by looking for a file called
F</etc/favicon.png> or F<C:\\etc\\favicon.png>
and if it has the correct format, the contents of this file will
be returned. You can disable favicons by passing the
optional C<favicon> boolean as false (default is true).
If finding the favicon fails, then we look in other places in the
guest for a suitable icon.
If the optional C<highquality> boolean is true then
only high quality icons are returned, which means only icons of
high resolution with an alpha channel. The default (false) is
to return any icon we can, even if it is of substandard quality.

=item *
Unlike most other inspection API calls, the guest’s disks must be
mounted up before you call this, since it needs to read information
from the guest filesystem during the call.
=item *
B<Security:> The icon data comes from the untrusted guest,
and should be treated with caution. PNG files have been
known to contain exploits. Ensure that libpng (or other relevant
libraries) are fully up to date before trying to process or
display the icon.
=item *
The PNG image returned can be any size. It might not be square.
Libguestfs tries to return the largest, highest quality
icon available. The application must scale the icon to the
required size.
=item *
Extracting icons from Windows guests requires the external
L<wrestool(1)> program from the C<icoutils> package, and
several programs (L<bmptopnm(1)>, L<pnmtopng(1)>, L<pamcut(1)>)
from the C<netpbm> package. These must be installed separately.
=item *
Operating system icons are usually trademarks. Seek legal
advice before using trademarks in applications.
