=head1 NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<virt-tar-out> packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a
tarball.
The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine
directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use C<->
to write to standard output.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest:
virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz
=head1 JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
L<guestfish(1)> C<tar-out> 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.
