7       disk image.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

15       "virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine
16       disk image or named libvirt domain.
17
18       You can give one or more filenames and directories on the command line.
19       Directories are copied out recursively.
20

EXAMPLES

22       Download the home directories from a virtual machine:
23
24        mkdir homes
25        virt-copy-out -d MyGuest /home homes
26

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

28       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
29       guestfish(1) "copy-out" command.  For anything more complex than a
30       trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
31

OPTIONS

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