NAME

6       virt-copy-in - Copy files and directories into a virtual machine disk
7       image.
8

SYNOPSIS

10        virt-copy-in -a disk.img file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination
11
12        virt-copy-in -d domain file|dir [file|dir ...] /destination
13

WARNING

15       Using "virt-copy-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous,
16       potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut
17       down before you use this command.
18

DESCRIPTION

20       "virt-copy-in" copies files and directories from the local disk into a
21       virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.
22
23       You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line.
24       Directories are copied in recursively.  The final parameter must be the
25       destination directory in the disk image which must be an absolute path
26       starting with a "/" character.
27

EXAMPLES

29       Update "/etc/resolv.conf" in a guest:
30
31        virt-copy-in -d MyGuest resolv.conf /etc
32
33       Upload a home directory to a guest:
34
35        virt-copy-in -d MyGuest skel /home
36

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

38       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
39       guestfish(1) "copy-in" command.  For anything more complex than a
40       trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
41

OPTIONS

43       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read
44       guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
