 C<virt-edit> is a command line tool to edit C<file> where C<file>
 exists in the named virtual machine (or disk image).

 If you want to just view a file, use L<virt-cat(1)>.  For more complex
 cases you should look at the L<guestfish(1)> tool.

 This tool is just designed for quick interactive hacking on a virtual

 you should use L<guestfs(3)>.  To get a structured shell, use
