NAME

       virt-manager - display the virtual machine desktop management tool

SYNOPSIS

       virt-manager [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       virt-manager is a desktop tool for managing virtual machines. It provides the ability to control the lifecycle of existing machines
       (bootup/shutdown,pause/resume,suspend/restore), provision new virtual machines and various types of store, manage virtual networks, access
       the graphical console of virtual machines, and view performance statistics, all done locally or remotely.

OPTIONS

       The following options are accepted when running "virt-manager":

       -h, -help
	   Display command line help summary

       -c URI, --connect=URI
	   Specify the hypervisor connection URI

       --debug
	   List debugging output to the console (normally this is only logged in ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log). This function implies
	   --no-fork.

       --no-fork
	   Don't fork "virt-manager" off into the backround: run it blocking the current terminal. Useful for seeing possible errors dumped to
	   stdout/stderr.

       --no-dbus
	   Disable the DBus API used for remote control of the "virt-manager" UI

       --no-conn-autostart
	   Don't autostart any libvirt connections when launching "virt-manager".

       --show-domain-creator
	   Display the wizard for creating new virtual machines

       --show-domain-editor=UUID
	   Display the dialog for editing properties of the virtual machine with unique ID matching "UUID"

       --show-domain-performance=UUID
	   Display the dialog for monitoring performance of the virtual machine with unique ID matching "UUID"

       --show-domain-console=UUID
	   Display the virtual console of the virtual machine with unique ID matching "UUID"

       --show-host-summary
	   Display the main window summarizing performance for all virtual machines on the host.

NAME

       virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination

	virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination

	zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination

WARNING

       Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut down
       before you use this command.

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.

       The first parameter is the tar file.  Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input.	The second parameter is the absolute target
       directory to unpack into.

EXAMPLES

       Upload a home directory to a guest:

	virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" 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.
