NAME

       libvdeplug_cmd - vdeplug module: stream a VDE network through a command

SYNOPSIS

       libvdeplug_cmd.so

DESCRIPTION

       This  is the standard vdeplug module to stream a VDE network using a command.  This module
       of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm,  qemu,  user-
       mode-linux and virtualbox.

       The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
              cmd://command

EXAMPLES

       Appropriate shell quoting is needed.

       cmd://"ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde://"
       kvm .... -net vde,sock=cmd://"ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde://" ...

       In  these  cases  ssh  should have been configured to require no foreground authentication
       (see how to set up public key authentication: ssh(1) and ssh-keygen(1)).
