=head1 NAME
virt-cat - Display a file in a virtual machine
=head1 SYNOPSIS
virt-cat [--options] domname file
virt-cat [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...] file
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<virt-cat> is a command line tool to display the contents of C<file>
where C<file> exists in the named virtual machine (or disk image).
C<virt-cat> can be used to quickly view a single file. To edit a
file, use C<virt-edit>. For more complex cases you should look at the
L<guestfish(1)> tool.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Display C</etc/fstab> file from inside the libvirt VM called
C<mydomain>:
virt-cat mydomain /etc/fstab
List syslog messages from a VM:
virt-cat mydomain /var/log/messages | tail
Find out what DHCP IP address a VM acquired:
virt-cat mydomain /var/log/messages | grep 'dhclient: bound to' | tail
Find out what packages were recently installed:
virt-cat mydomain /var/log/yum.log | tail
Find out who is logged on inside a virtual machine:
virt-cat mydomain /var/run/utmp > /tmp/utmp
who /tmp/utmp
or who was logged on:
virt-cat mydomain /var/log/wtmp > /tmp/wtmp
last -f /tmp/wtmp
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=cut
my $help;
=item B<--help>
Display brief help.
=cut
my $version;
=item B<--version>
Display version number and exit.
=cut
my $uri;
=item B<--connect URI> | B<-c URI>
If using libvirt, connect to the given I<URI>. If omitted, then we
connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used
at all.
