From: Richard Jones Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:49:20 +0000 (+0100) Subject: New tool: virt-tar X-Git-Tag: 1.0.74~7 X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=984a35cfc0ae09821fb39307b98ec8399bcd8982;hp=5c4bf92bc298e078ceccdde603313282d038544c New tool: virt-tar This adds a new tool call virt-tar which is a general purpose archive and uploading tool. It doesn't add any functionality which wasn't previously possible using guestfish, but makes it simpler to access for some users.

If you do this, you risk disk corruption in the VM. +C tries to stop you from doing this, but doesn't catch all +cases. + +You can use C<-x> (extract) on live virtual machines, but you might +get inconsistent results or errors if there is filesystem activity +inside the VM. If the live VM is synched and quiescent, then +C will usually work, but the only way to guarantee +consistent results is if the virtual machine is shut down. + +=head1 DESCRIPTION + +C is a general purpose archive tool for downloading and +uploading parts of a guest filesystem. There are many possibilities: +making backups, uploading data files, snooping on guest activity, +fixing or customizing guests, etc. + +If you want to just view a single file, use L. If you +just want to edit a single file, use L. For more +complex cases you should look at the L tool. + +There are two modes of operation: C<-x> (eXtract) downloads a +directory and its contents (recursively) from the virtual machine into +a local tarball. C<-u> uploads from a local tarball, unpacking it +into a directory inside the virtual machine. You cannot use these two +options together. + +In addition, you may need to use the C<-z> (gZip) option to enable +compression. When uploading, you have to specify C<-z> if the upload +file is compressed because virt-tar won't detect this on its own. + +C can only handle tar (optionally gzipped) format tarballs. +For example it cannot do PKZip files or bzip2 compression. If you +want that then you'll have to rebuild the tarballs yourself. (This is +a limitation of the L API). + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over 4 + +=cut + +my $help; + +=item B<--help> + +Display brief help. + +=cut + +my $version; + +=item B<--version> + +Display version number and exit. + +=cut + +my $uri; + +=item B<--connect URI> | B<-c URI> + +If using libvirt, connect to the given I.
