Is there a libvirt API to detect image format by given an image file? Or I
have to run qemu-img?
Nothing wrong with running `qemu-img info' IMHO.
Libguestfs has some disk detection features, including format, backing
file, virtual size. And of course it can go a lot deeper into the
disk content itself using libguestfs inspection.
