=head1 NAME
virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination
virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination
zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination
=head1 WARNING
Using C<virt-tar-in> on live virtual machines can be dangerous,
potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be shut
down before you use this command.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<virt-tar-in> unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine
disk image or named libvirt domain.
The first parameter is the tar file. Use C<-> to read the tar file
from standard input. The second parameter is the absolute target
directory to unpack into.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Upload a home directory to a guest:
virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home
=head1 JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
L<guestfish(1)> C<tar-in> command. For anything more complex than a
trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
=head1 OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read
L<guestfish(1)> to see the full list of options.
