 Typical usage is either:
 
- guestfish -i myguest
+ guestfish -d myguest -i
 
 (for an inactive libvirt domain called I<myguest>), or:
 
- guestfish --ro -i myguest
+ guestfish --ro -d myguest -i
 
 (for active domains, readonly), or specify the block device directly:
 
- guestfish -i /dev/Guests/MyGuest
+ guestfish -a /dev/Guests/MyGuest -i

+Note that the command line syntax changed slightly over older
+versions of guestfish.  You can still use the old syntax:
 
-You cannot use I<-a>, I<-m>, I<-N>, I<--listen>, I<--remote> or

-I<--ro> might not behave correctly.
