+If disk images are requested from libvirt, then this program asks
+libvirt for this information.  In this case, the value of the format

+=head1 SHELL QUOTING
+
+Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which
+have meaning to the shell such as C<#> and space.  You may need to
+quote or escape these characters on the command line.  See the shell
+manual page L<sh(1)> for details.
