how about guestfish?
guestfish follows libguestfs or guestmount?
guestfish is a thin wrapper around the libguestfs API.
I (again) strongly suggest that you read the documentation which
explains all this in great detail:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-internals.1.html#architecture
http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html#description
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-performance.1.html
