Use C<display> (a graphical display program) to display an image

environment variable. For example to use the GNOME display program:

This is used to edit a file. It downloads the file, edits it

editors." };
{ defaults with

longdesc = " event name eventset \"shell script ...\"
Register a shell script fragment which is executed when an
event is raised. See L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_set_event_callback>
for a discussion of the event API in libguestfs.
The C<name> parameter is a name that you give to this event
handler. It can be any string (even the empty string) and is
simply there so you can delete the handler using the guestfish
C<delete-event> command.
The C<eventset> parameter is a comma-separated list of one
or more events, for example C<close> or C<close,trace>. The
special value C<*> means all events.
The third and final parameter is the shell script fragment
(or any external command) that is executed when any of the
events in the eventset occurs. It is executed using
C<$SHELL -c>, or if C<$SHELL> is not set then F</bin/sh -c>.
The shell script fragment receives callback parameters as
arguments C<$1>, C<$2> etc. The actual event that was
called is available in the environment variable C<$EVENT>.
event \"\" close \"echo closed\"
event messages appliance,library,trace \"echo $@\"
event \"\" progress \"echo progress: $3/$4\"
event \"\" * \"echo $EVENT $@\"
See also the guestfish commands C<delete-event> and C<list-events>." };
{ defaults with
name = "glob";
shortdesc = "expand wildcards in command";
longdesc = " glob command args...
Expand wildcards in any paths in the args list, and run C<command>
repeatedly on each matching path.
See L</WILDCARDS AND GLOBBING>." };
{ defaults with
name = "hexedit";
shortdesc = "edit with a hex editor";
longdesc = " hexedit <filename|device>
hexedit <filename|device> <max>
hexedit <filename|device> <start> <max>
Use hexedit (a hex editor) to edit all or part of a binary file
or block device.
This command works by downloading potentially the whole file or
device, editing it locally, then uploading it. If the file or
device is large, you have to specify which part you wish to edit
by using C<max> and/or C<start> C<max> parameters.
C<start> and C<max> are specified in bytes, with the usual
modifiers allowed such as C<1M> (1 megabyte).
For example to edit the first few sectors of a disk you
might do:
hexedit /dev/sda 1M
which would allow you to edit anywhere within the first megabyte
of the disk.
To edit the superblock of an ext2 filesystem on F</dev/sda1>, do:
hexedit /dev/sda1 0x400 0x400
(assuming the superblock is in the standard location).
This command requires the external L<hexedit(1)> program. You
can specify another program to use by setting the C<HEXEDITOR>
environment variable.
See also L</hexdump>." };
{ defaults with
name = "lcd";
shortdesc = "change working directory";
longdesc = " lcd directory
Change the local directory, ie. the current directory of guestfish
itself.
Note that C<!cd> won't do what you might expect." };

List the event handlers registered using the guestfish
C<event> command." };

Opens the manual page for guestfish." };

less filename
This is used to view a file.
The default viewer is C<$PAGER>. However if you use the alternate
command C<less> you will get the C<less> command specifically." };
{ defaults with
name = "reopen";
shortdesc = "close and reopen libguestfs handle";
longdesc = " reopen
Close and reopen the libguestfs handle. It is not necessary to use
this normally, because the handle is closed properly when guestfish
exits. However this is occasionally useful for testing." };
{ defaults with
name = "setenv";
shortdesc = "set an environment variable";
longdesc = " setenv VAR value
Set the environment variable C<VAR> to the string C<value>.
To print the value of an environment variable use a shell command
such as:
!echo $VAR" };
{ defaults with
name = "sparse";
shortdesc = "create a sparse disk image and add";
longdesc = " sparse filename size
This creates an empty sparse file of the given size, and then adds
so it can be further examined.
In all respects it works the same as the L</alloc> command, except that
the image file is allocated sparsely, which means that disk blocks are
not assigned to the file until they are needed. Sparse disk files
only use space when written to, but they are slower and there is a
danger you could run out of real disk space during a write operation.
For more advanced image creation, see L</disk-create>.
Size can be specified using standard suffixes, eg. C<1M>.
See also the guestfish L</scratch> command." };

This command returns a list of the optional groups
known to the daemon, and indicates which ones are
supported by this build of the libguestfs appliance.
See also L<guestfs(3)/AVAILABILITY>." };
{ defaults with
name = "time";

Run the command as usual, but print the elapsed time afterwards. This
can be useful for benchmarking operations." };
{ defaults with

Remove C<VAR> from the environment." };
