+=head2 guestfs_mount

+ int guestfs_mount (guestfs_h *handle, const char *device, const char *mountpoint);
+
+Mount a guest disk at a position in the filesystem. Block devices
+are named C</dev/sda>, C</dev/sdb> and so on, as they were added to
+the guest. If those block devices contain partitions, they will have
+the usual names (eg. C</dev/sda1>). Also LVM C</dev/VG/LV>-style
+names can be used.
+
+The rules are the same as for L<mount(2)>: A filesystem must
+first be mounted on C</> before others can be mounted. Other
+filesystems can only be mounted on directories which already
+exist.
+
+=head2 guestfs_sync
+
+ int guestfs_sync (guestfs_h *handle);
+
+This syncs the disk, so that any writes are flushed through to the
+underlying disk image.
+
+You should always call this if you have modified a disk image, before
+calling C<guestfs_close>.
+
+=head2 guestfs_touch
+
+ int guestfs_touch (guestfs_h *handle, const char *path);
+
+Touch acts like the L<touch(1)> command. It can be used to
+update the filesystems on a file, or, if the file does not exist,
+to create a new zero-length file.
