=head1 DESCRIPTION
+This tool is obsolete. Use L<virt-filesystems(1)> as a more
+flexible replacement.
+
C<virt-list-partitions> is a command line tool to list
the partitions that are contained in a virtual machine or
disk image. It is mainly useful as a first step to using
=cut
+my $format;
+
+=item B<--format> raw
+
+Specify the format of disk images given on the command line. If this
+is omitted then the format is autodetected from the content of the
+disk image.
+
+If disk images are requested from libvirt, then this program asks
+libvirt for this information. In this case, the value of the format
+parameter is ignored.
+
+If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should
+ensure the format is always specified.

+=head1 SHELL QUOTING
+
+Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which
+have meaning to the shell such as C<#> and space. You may need to
+quote or escape these characters on the command line. See the shell
+manual page L<sh(1)> for details.
