Subject: [PATCH 1/2] New API: case-sensitive-path to return case sensitive path on NTFS 3g fs
This function handles an annoyance/peculiarity of the Linux
NTFS 3g driver, which is that it exports NTFS filesystems with
names case sensitive, even though under Windows they would be
case insensitive.
This causes problems because the location of (eg.) c:\windows
might appear as /windows or /WINDOWS (etc) depending on the
inconsequential details of how it was originally created.
Example of this problem on a real Windows guest:
><fs> file /windows/system32/config/system.log
libguestfs: error: file: access: /windows/system32/config/system.log: No such file or directory
><fs> case-sensitive-path /windows/system32/config/system.log
/WINDOWS/system32/config/system.LOG
><fs> file /WINDOWS/system32/config/system.LOG
MS Windows registry file, NT/2000 or above

+This can be used to resolve case insensitive paths on
+a filesystem which is case sensitive. The use case is
+to resolve paths which you have read from Windows configuration
+files or the Windows Registry, to the true path.
+
+The command handles a peculiarity of the Linux ntfs-3g
+filesystem driver (and probably others), which is that although
+the underlying filesystem is case-insensitive, the driver
+exports the filesystem to Linux as case-sensitive.
+
+One consequence of this is that special directories such
+as C<c:\\windows> may appear as C</WINDOWS> or C</windows>
+(or other things) depending on the precise details of how
+they were created. In Windows itself this would not be
+a problem.
+
+Bug or feature? You decide:
+L<http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#posixfilenames1>
+
+This function resolves the true case of each element in the
+path and returns the case-sensitive path.
+
+Thus C<guestfs_case_sensitive_path> (\"/Windows/System32\")
+might return C<\"/WINDOWS/system32\"> (the exact return value
+would depend on details of how the directories were originally
+created under Windows).
+
+I<Note>:
+This function does not handle drive names, backslashes etc.
+
+See also C<guestfs_realpath>.");
