     variety of different virtualization systems.
 
 COMMON OPTIONS
+    Each command obeys a common set of options. The general form is:
+
+    virt-*program* [-options] [domains...]
+
+    where *domains* is a list of guest names to act on. If no domains are
+    specified then we act on all active domains by default.
+
+    A *domain* may be specified either by its name or by its ID. Use *virsh
+    list* to get a list of active domain names and IDs.
+
+    The virt-mem tools do not work on domains which are not active (running
+    or paused). eg. They do not work on shut down domains.
+
     -c uri, --connect uri
         Connect to libvirt URI. The default is to connect to the default
         libvirt URI, normally Xen.
