=encoding utf8 =head1 NAME virt-copy-in - Copy files and directories into a virtual machine disk image. =head1 SYNOPSIS virt-copy-in -a disk.img file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination virt-copy-in -d domain file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination =head1 WARNING Using C on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be shut down before you use this command. =head1 DESCRIPTION C 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 C character. =head1 EXAMPLES Update C in a guest: virt-copy-in -d MyGuest resolv.conf /etc Upload a home directory to a guest: virt-copy-in -d MyGuest skel /home =head1 JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the L C command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. =head1 OPTIONS Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read L to see the full list of options. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L, L. =head1 AUTHORS Richard W.M.
