libguestfs is an open source API for modifying the virtual disk images used in virtualization of operating systems.[2] libguestfs provides multiple editing tools for Fedora-based hosts modelled after ordinary Unix commands, such as "virt-cat" and "virt-tar",[3][4] and can edit virtual machines managed by libvirt.

libguestfs is implemented using the Kernel-based Virtual Machine feature of Linux.[5]
