It uses +libvirt (virsh dumpxml $name) to get the virtual machine +configuration. It will not use libvirt to start the virtual machine +though. Instead it parses the xml config, assembles a command line +and launches qemu directly. +.P +It will not handle all libvirt config options. It should handle a +reasonable subset of the syntax though. Some options are +intentionally hard-coded, such as VNC setup and monitor location. +.P +Network setup is largely hardcoded as well for simplicity. When +started as root it will hook the virtual machine into virbr0 using +a tap interface. Otherwise slirp (aka -net user) is used. +.P +You probably want to set the VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI environment +variable. Check +.B virsh(1) +for details. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B -d +Enable debug messages. +.TP +.B -m +Enable monitor access (passed to qemu-gtk). +.SH SEE ALSO +qemu-gtk(1), virsh(1) +.SH AUTHOR +(c) 2009 Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> |
