The virtual machine must be shut down before you use this command. =head1 DESCRIPTION C unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain. The first parameter is the tar file. Use C<-> to read the tar file from standard input. The second parameter is the absolute target directory to unpack into. =head1 EXAMPLES Upload a home directory to a guest: virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /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, L. =head1 AUTHORS Richard W.M.
