Subject: Re: [proposal] making filesystem tools more machine friendly


libguestfs could really use structured output from more of the command
line tools.  Particularly:

 - all the ext4 tools
 - all the xfs tools
 - all the btrfs tools
 - parted

and more.  See also:

A dbus service would not be useful.
