NAME

       virt-manager - display the virtual machine desktop management tool

SYNOPSIS

       virt-manager [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       virt-manager is a desktop tool for managing virtual machines. It provides the ability to control the
       lifecycle of existing machines (bootup/shutdown,pause/resume,suspend/restore), provision new virtual
       machines and various types of store, manage virtual networks, access the graphical console of virtual
       machines, and view performance statistics, all done locally or remotely.

OPTIONS

       The following options are accepted when running "virt-manager":

       -h
       --help
           Display command line help summary

       --version
           Show virt-manager's version number and exit

       -c URI
       --connect=URI
           Specify the hypervisor connection "URI"

       --debug
           List    debugging    output    to    the    console    (normally    this    is    only    logged   in
           ~/.cache/virt-manager/virt-manager.log). This function implies --no-fork.

       --no-fork
           Don't fork "virt-manager" off into the background: run it blocking the current terminal.  Useful  for
           seeing possible errors dumped to stdout/stderr.

       --show-DIALOG-WINDOW
           Display  the  corresponding  "DIALOG-WINDOW"  when launching "virt-manager".  Connection autostart is
           skipped, and the manager window will not be shown at startup in this case.

           The following "DIALOG-WINDOW" options are currently available:

           --show-domain-creator
               Display the wizard for creating new virtual machines

           --show-domain-editor NAME|ID|UUID
               Display the dialog for editing properties of the virtual machine with unique ID  matching  either
               the domain name, ID, or UUID

           --show-domain-performance NAME|ID|UUID
               Display  the  dialog  for  monitoring  performance of the virtual machine with unique ID matching
               either the domain name, ID, or UUID

           --show-domain-console NAME|ID|UUID
               Display the virtual console of the virtual machine with unique  ID  matching  either  the  domain
               name, ID, or UUID

           --show-host-summary
               Display the main window summarizing performance for all virtual machines on the host.

       Standard GTK options like --g-fatal-warnings are also accepted.
