virt-copy-out

virt-copy-out(1)					      Virtualization Support						  virt-copy-out(1)

NAME

       virt-copy-out - Copy files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-copy-out -a disk.img /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir

	virt-copy-out -d domain /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.

       You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line.	Directories are copied out recursively.

EXAMPLES

       Download the home directories from a virtual machine:

	mkdir homes
	virt-copy-out -d MyGuest /home homes

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-out" command.  For anything more complex than a trivial
       copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO

       guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), virt-tar-out(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.
