The virtual machine must be shut down before you use this command.DESCRIPTION"virt-copy-in" copies files and directories from the local disk into 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 in recursively. The final parameter must be the destination directory in the disk image which must be an absolute path starting with a "/" character.EXAMPLESUpdate "/etc/resolv.conf" in a guest: virt-copy-in -d MyGuest resolv.conf /etc Upload a home directory to a guest: virt-copy-in -d MyGuest skel /homeJUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISHThis command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "copy-in" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.OPTIONSSince the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.SEE ALSOguestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-tar-in(1), virt-tar-out(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.AUTHORSRichard W.M.
