WARNING

16       Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous,
17       potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut
18       down before you use this command.
19

DESCRIPTION

21       "virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine
22       disk image or named libvirt domain.
23
24       The first parameter is the tar file.  Use "-" to read the tar file from
25       standard input.  The second parameter is the absolute target directory
26       to unpack into.
27

EXAMPLES

29       Upload a home directory to a guest:
30
31        virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home
32

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

34       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
35       guestfish(1) "tar-in" command.  For anything more complex than a
36       trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
37

OPTIONS

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