filesystem_available

Description:

[ Version ( since = "1.19.5" ) ]
public int8 filesystem_available (string filesystem) throws Error

check if filesystem is available

Check whether libguestfs supports the named filesystem. The argument filesystem is a filesystem name, such as ext3.

You must call launch before using this command.

This is mainly useful as a negative test. If this returns true, it doesn't mean that a particular filesystem can be created or mounted, since filesystems can fail for other reasons such as it being a later version of the filesystem, or having incompatible features, or lacking the right mkfs.<*fs*> tool.

See also available, feature_available, "AVAILABILITY" in guestfs(3).

Parameters:

this	A GuestfsSession object

Returns:

the returned value, or -1 on error
