35 virt-inspector - Display operating system version and other information about a virtual machine
39 virt-inspector [--connect URI] domname
41 virt-inspector guest.img [guest.img ...]
45 B<virt-inspector> examines a virtual machine or disk image and tries
46 to determine the version of the operating system and other information
47 about the virtual machine.
49 Virt-inspector produces XML output for feeding into other programs.
51 In the normal usage, use C<virt-inspector domname> where C<domname> is
52 the libvirt domain (see: C<virsh list --all>).
54 You can also run virt-inspector directly on disk images from a single
55 virtual machine. Use C<virt-inspector guest.img>. In rare cases a
56 domain has several block devices, in which case you should list them
57 one after another, with the first corresponding to the guest's
58 C</dev/sda>, the second to the guest's C</dev/sdb> and so on.
60 Virt-inspector can only inspect and report upon I<one domain at a
61 time>. To inspect several virtual machines, you have to run
62 virt-inspector several times (for example, from a shell script
65 Because virt-inspector needs direct access to guest images, it won't
66 normally work over remote libvirt connections.
86 Display version number and exit.
92 =item B<--connect URI> | B<-c URI>
94 If using libvirt, connect to the given I<URI>. If omitted,
95 then we connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
97 Libvirt is only used if you specify a C<domname> on the
98 command line. If you specify guest block devices directly,
99 then libvirt is not used at all.
105 =item B<--format> raw
107 Specify the format of disk images given on the command line. If this
108 is omitted then the format is autodetected from the content of the
111 If disk images are requested from libvirt, then this program asks
112 libvirt for this information. In this case, the value of the format
113 parameter is ignored.
115 If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should
116 ensure the format is always specified.

151 The virt-inspector XML is described precisely in a RELAX NG schema
152 which is supplied with libguestfs. This section is just an overview.
154 The top-level element is E<lt>operatingsystemsE<gt>, and it contains
155 one or more E<lt>operatingsystemE<gt> elements. You would only see
156 more than one E<lt>operatingsystemE<gt> element if the virtual machine
157 is multi-boot, which is vanishingly rare in real world VMs.
159 =head2 E<lt>operatingsystemE<gt>
161 In the E<lt>operatingsystemE<gt> tag are various optional fields that
162 describe the operating system, its architecture, the descriptive
163 "product name" string, the type of OS and so on, as in this example:
167 <root>/dev/sda2</root>
170 <distro>windows</distro>
171 <product_name>Windows 7 Enterprise</product_name>
172 <major_version>6</major_version>
173 <minor_version>1</minor_version>
174 <windows_systemroot>/Windows</windows_systemroot>
176 These fields are derived from the libguestfs inspection API, and
177 you can find more details in L<guestfs(3)/INSPECTION>.
179 The E<lt>rootE<gt> element is the root filesystem device, but from the
180 point of view of libguestfs (block devices may have completely
181 different names inside the VM itself).
185 # Start the XML output.
186 my $xml = new XML::Writer (DATA_MODE => 1, DATA_INDENT => 2);
188 $xml->startTag ("operatingsystems");
191 foreach $root (@roots) {
192 my %fses = $g->inspect_get_mountpoints ($root);
193 my @fses = sort { length $a <=> length $b } keys %fses;
195 $g->mount_ro ($fses{$_}, $_);

240 =head2 E<lt>mountpointsE<gt>
242 Un*x-like guests typically have multiple filesystems which are mounted
243 at various mountpoints, and these are described in the
244 E<lt>mountpointsE<gt> element which looks like this:
250 <mountpoint dev="/dev/vg_f13x64/lv_root">/</mountpoint>
251 <mountpoint dev="/dev/sda1">/boot</mountpoint>
254 As with E<lt>rootE<gt>, devices are from the point of view of
255 libguestfs, and may have completely different names inside the guest.
256 Only mountable filesystems appear in this list, not things like swap
261 sub output_mountpoints
268 $xml->startTag ("mountpoints");
270 $xml->dataElement ("mountpoint", $_,
271 dev => canonicalize ($fshash->{$_}));
273 $xml->endTag ("mountpoints");
276 =head2 E<lt>filesystemsE<gt>
278 E<lt>filesystemsE<gt> is like E<lt>mountpointsE<gt> but covers I<all>
279 filesystems belonging to the guest, including swap and empty
280 partitions. (In the rare case of a multi-boot guest, it covers
281 filesystems belonging to this OS or shared by this OS and other OSes).
283 You might see something like this:
289 <filesystem dev="/dev/vg_f13x64/lv_root">
291 <label>Fedora-13-x86_64</label>
292 <uuid>e6a4db1e-15c2-477b-ac2a-699181c396aa</uuid>
295 The optional elements within E<lt>filesystemE<gt> are the filesystem
296 type, the label, and the UUID.

305 $xml->startTag ("filesystems");
307 my @fses = $g->inspect_get_filesystems ($root);

328 if defined $uuid && $uuid ne "";
331 $xml->endTag ("filesystem");
334 $xml->endTag ("filesystems");
337 =head2 E<lt>applicationsE<gt>
339 The related elements E<lt>package_formatE<gt>,
340 E<lt>package_managementE<gt> and E<lt>applicationsE<gt> describe
341 applications installed in the virtual machine. At the moment we are
342 only able to list RPMs and Debian packages installed, but in future we
343 will support other Linux distros and Windows.
345 E<lt>package_formatE<gt>, if present, describes the packaging
346 system used. Typical values would be C<rpm> and C<deb>.
348 E<lt>package_managementE<gt>, if present, describes the package
349 manager. Typical values include C<yum>, C<up2date> and C<apt>
351 E<lt>applicationsE<gt> lists the packages or applications
359 <name>coreutils</name>
360 <version>8.5</version>
