There is no need to do that, since there is already an API for this:
guestfs_read_file.  For example, you can do:

  size_t file_size = 0;
  char *content = guestfs_read_file (g, "/path/in/the/guest", &file_size);

'content' will hold all the content of the file, and 'file_size' how
many bytes are in the 'content' buffer).
