[Libguestfs] About the return value of value_value

[Peter Wu]

Hi,

I have been working on a Python application that uses hivex. Meanwhile I have 
encountered some Python bindings issues which could be fixed.

The next issue I see now is about the value_value function. This is briefly 
documented as: "return data length, data type and data of a value".

For Perl, Python and OCaml, this is not true. A tuple is returned for both 
without the length (as this can be calculated from the data value). Ruby is 
the outlier here that uses a dictionary with three keys. I am not familar with 
Ruby and neither do I know Ruby users of hivex.

The documentation should likely be fixed to exclude the length, but what about 
the Ruby API? Is it correct or should a documentation note be added that Ruby 
differs
 
Kind regards,
Peter
