+ <title>Methods</title>
+
+ <para><function>GetImage()</function> may be used to get the image object path of the image with the
+ specified name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ListImages()</function> returns an array of all currently known images. The
+ structures in the array consist of the following fields: image name, type, read-only flag, creation
+ time, modification time, current disk space, usage and image object path.</para>
+
+ <para><function>GetImageOSRelease()</function> retrieves the OS release information of an image.
+ This method returns an array of key value pairs read from the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file in
+ the image and is useful to identify the operating system used in a portable service.</para>
+
+ <para><function>GetImageMetadata()</function> retrieves metadata associated with an image.
+ This method returns the image name, the image's <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> content in the form of a (streamable) array of bytes,
+ and a list of portable units contained in the image, in the form of a string (unit name) and
+ an array of bytes with the content.</para>
+
+ <para><function>GetImageState()</function> retrieves the image state as one of the following
+ strings:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>detached</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>attached</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>attached-runtime</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>enabled</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>enabled-runtime</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>running</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>running-runtime</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist></para>
+
+ <para><function>AttachImage()</function> attaches a portable image to the system.
+ This method takes an image path or name, a list of strings that will be used to search for
+ unit files inside the image (partial or complete matches), a string indicating which
+ portable profile to use for the image (see <varname>Profiles</varname> property for
+ a list of available profiles), a boolean indicating whether to attach the image only
+ for the current boot session, and a string representing the preferred copy mode
+ (whether to copy the image or to just symlink it) with the following possible values:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>(null)</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>copy</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>symlink</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ This method returns the list of changes applied to the system (for example, which unit was
+ added and is now available as a system service). Each change is represented as a triplet of
+ strings: the type of change applied, the path on which it was applied, and the source
+ (if any). The type of change applied will be one of the following possible values:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>copy</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>symlink</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>write</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>mkdir</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ Note that an image cannot be attached if a unit that it contains is already present
+ on the system.</para>
+
+ <para><function>DetachImage()</function> detaches a portable image from the system.
+ This method takes an image path or name, and a boolean indicating whether the image to
+ detach was attached only for the current boot session or persistently. This method
+ returns the list of changes applied to the system (for example, which unit was removed
+ and is no longer available as a system service). Each change is represented as a triplet of
+ strings: the type of change applied, the path on which it was applied, and the source
+ (if any). The type of change applied will be one of the following possible values:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>unlink</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ Note that an image cannot be detached if a unit that it contains is running.</para>
+
+ <para><function>ReattachImage()</function> combines the effects of the
+ <function>AttachImage()</function> method and the <function>DetachImage()</function> method.
+ The difference is that it is allowed to reattach an image while one or more of its units
+ are running. The reattach operation will fail if no matching image is attached.
+ The input parameters match the <function>AttachImage()</function> method, and the return
+ parameters are the combination of the return parameters of the
+ <function>DetachImage()</function> method (first array, units that were removed) and the
+ <function>AttachImage()</function> method (second array, units that were updated or added).</para>
+
+ <para><function>RemoveImage()</function> removes the image with the specified name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>MarkImageReadOnly()</function> toggles the read-only flag of an image.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetPoolLimit()</function> sets an overall quota limit on the pool of images.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SetImageLimit()</function> sets a per-image quota limit.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Properties</title>
+
+ <para><varname>PoolPath</varname> specifies the file system path where images are written to.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>PoolUsage</varname> specifies the current usage size of the image pool in bytes.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>PoolLimit</varname> specifies the size limit of the image pool in bytes.</para>

+ <title>Methods</title>
+
+ <para>The following methods implement the same operation as the respective methods on the
+ <interfacename>Manager</interfacename> object (see above). However, these methods operate on the image
+ object and hence does not take an image name parameter. Invoking the methods directly on the Manager
+ object has the advantage of not requiring a <function>GetImage()</function> call to get the image object
+ for a specific image name. Calling the methods on the Manager object is hence a round trip
+ optimization. List of methods:
