virtual machines running Linux kernel >= 2.6, but we expect to support
other operating systems in the future.
-Most of the commands also offer a CSV (comma-separated values) output
-format ('virt-xx --csv'), allowing usage from scripts to update
-spreadsheets, databases or integrate with existing monitoring systems
-like Nagios.

The commands use libvirt to access the underlying virtualization

and KVM, and more can be added just by adding support to libvirt.

-The binaries are called things like 'virt-dmesg.opt' and located in
-the respective directories, so you could run them by doing:
+Then run the virt-mem meta-tool, for example:
- ./dmesg/virt-dmesg.opt
+ ./mem/virt-mem.opt dmesg
-All the binaries understand the --help option to provide a summary of
-options. All require virtual machines to run against, but most also
-offer a test mode (-t option).
+(If this binary is linked with the name 'virt-dmesg' then it behaves
+in the same way).
