<div>Since they are low level APIs, I think make perfect sense not doing throug COM, so you can operate without vbox installations. In our case, we used those apis to do virtual disks, so .vdi/.vhd/.vmdk files can be mounted, partitioned, or formatted, etc.<div class="im">

<div>Yeah, thank you. But those in VBoxHDD.h are not APIs provided by VirtualBox SDK, that is, cannot called through COM or web services. If the prototypes in VBoxHDD.h change in new version, I have to change my code, too. So is there any plan to add new vdi APIs to the SDK?<br>

<div>Hi, buddies. Is there any APIs in SDK to read or write data (in block or byte) to vdi? I mean, if I want to perform partitioning and formatting operations in a vdi, I have to run an OS to do that. But I want to do it outside VirtualBox. Analysizing and operating on the structure of the vdi should be tough, so is there a better way provided by VirtualBox? Thanks! </div>
