NAME

6       guestfs-gobject - How to use libguestfs with the GObject bindings
7

SYNOPSIS

9       From Javascript using gjs:
10
11        const Guestfs = imports.gi.Guestfs;
12        var g = new Guestfs.Session();
13        g.add_drive('disk.img', null);
14        g.launch();
15        g.close();
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This manual page documents how to call libguestfs using GObject
19       bindings, especially from Javascript.
20
21       Note that the GObject bindings have problems handling 64 bit values.
22       You should not use the GObject bindings if there are native bindings
23       for your language.  For example, to use libguestfs from Python you are
24       strongly advised to use the Python native bindings instead (see
25       guestfs-python(3)).
26
27       This page just documents the differences from the C API and gives some
28       examples.  If you are not familiar with using libguestfs, you also need
29       to read guestfs(3).
30

JAVASCRIPT

32       Using gjs, you can write a ".js" file containing:
33
34        const Guestfs = imports.gi.Guestfs;
35        var g = new Guestfs.Session();
36        g.add_drive('disk.img', null);
37        g.launch();
38        g.close();
39
40       and then run it using:
41
42        gjs program.js
43
