Have a look at this example:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/examples/mount-local.c

As Pino says, it exports the root directory from the "libguestfs API space".

Not sure I understand the question, but the guestfish mount-local-run
command will block guestfish until another process runs
'fusermount -u /mntpoint' (or better, 'guestunmount /mntpoint').
