+.SH "NAME"
+virt\-top \- 'top'\-like utility for virtualization stats
+.SH "SUMMARY"
+.IX Header "SUMMARY"
+virt-top [\-options]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+virt-top is a \fItop\fR\|(1)\-like utility for showing stats of virtualized
+domains. Many keys and command line options are the same as for
+ordinary \fItop\fR.
+.PP
+It uses libvirt so it is capable of showing stats across a variety of
+different virtualization systems.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB\-1\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-1"
+Display physical CPUs by default (instead of domains).
+When virt-top is running, use the \fI1\fR key to toggle
+between physical CPUs and domains display.
+.IP "\fB\-2\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-2"
+Display network interfaces by default (instead of domains).
+When virt-top is running, use the \fI2\fR key to toggle
+between network interfaces and domains display.
+.IP "\fB\-3\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-3"
+Display block devices (virtual disks) by default (instead of domains).
+When virt-top is running, use the \fI3\fR key to toggle
+between block devices and domains display.
+.IP "\fB\-b\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-b"
+Batch mode. In this mode keypresses are ignored.
+.IP "\fB\-c uri\fR or \fB\-\-connect uri\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-c uri or --connect uri"
+Connect to \s-1URI\s0 given. The default is to connect to the Xen
+hypervisor.
+.IP "\fB\-d delay\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-d delay"
+Set the delay between screen updates in seconds.
+The default is 3.0 seconds. You can change this
+while virt-top is running by pressing either \fIs\fR or \fId\fR key.
+.IP "\fB\-n iterations\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-n iterations"
+Set the number of iterations to run. The default
+is to run continuously.
+.IP "\fB\-o sort\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-o sort"
+Set the sort order to one of:
+\&\fBcpu\fR (sort by \f(CW%CPU\fR used),
+\&\fBmem\fR (sort by memory used),
+\&\fBtime\fR (sort by total time),
+\&\fBid\fR (sort by domain \s-1ID\s0),
+\&\fBname\fR (sort by domain name),
+\&\fBnetrx\fR (sort by network received bytes),
+\&\fBnettx\fR (sort by network transmitted bytes),
+\&\fBblockrdrq\fR (sort by block device [disk] read requests),
+\&\fBblockwrrq\fR (sort by block device [disk] write requests).
+.Sp
+While virt-top is running you can change the sort
+order using keys \fIP\fR (cpu), \fIM\fR (memory),
+\&\fIT\fR (total time), \fIN\fR (domain \s-1ID\s0),
+\&\fIF\fR (interactively select the sort field).
+.IP "\fB\-s\fR" 4
+.IX Item "-s"
+Secure mode. Currently this does nothing.
+.IP "\fB\-\-hist\-cpu secs\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--hist-cpu secs"
+Set the time in seconds between updates of the historical
+\&\f(CW%CPU\fR at the top right of the display.
+.IP "\fB\-\-csv file.csv\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--csv file.csv"
+Write the statistics to file \fIfile.csv\fR. First a header is written
+showing the statistics being recorded in each column, then one line is
+written for each screen update. The \s-1CSV\s0 file can be loaded directly
+by most spreadsheet programs.
+.Sp
+Currently the statistics which this records vary between releases of
+virt-top (but the column headers will stay the same, so you can use
+those to process the \s-1CSV\s0 file).
+.Sp
+Not every version of virt-top supports \s-1CSV\s0 output \- it depends how the
+program was compiled (see \fI\s-1README\s0\fR file in the source distribution
+for details).
+.IP "\fB\-\-debug filename\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--debug filename"
+Send debug and error messages to \fIfilename\fR.
+To send error messages to syslog you can do:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& virt-top --debug >(logger -t virt-top)
+.Ve
+.Sp
+See also \s-1REPORTING\s0 \s-1BUGS\s0 below.
+.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
+.IX Item "--help"
+Display usage summary.
+.SH "KEYS"
+.IX Header "KEYS"
+Note that keys are case sensitive. For example use upper-case \fIP\fR
+(shift P) to sort by \f(CW%CPU\fR. \fI^\fR before a key means a Ctrl key, so
+\&\fI^L\fR is Ctrl L.
+.IP "\fIspace\fR or \fI^L\fR" 4
+.IX Item "space or ^L"
+Updates the display.
+.IP "\fIq\fR" 4
+.IX Item "q"
+Quits the program.
+.IP "\fIh\fR" 4
+.IX Item "h"
+Displays help.
+.IP "\fIs\fR or \fId\fR" 4
+.IX Item "s or d"
+Change the delay between screen updates.
+.IP "\fI0\fR (number 0)" 4
+.IX Item "0 (number 0)"
+Show the normal list of domains display.
+.IP "\fI1\fR (number 1)" 4
+.IX Item "1 (number 1)"
+Toggle into showing physical CPUs. If pressed
+again toggles back to showing domains (the normal
+display).
+.IP "\fI2\fR" 4
+.IX Item "2"
+Toggle into showing network interfaces. If pressed
+again toggles back to showing domains.
+.IP "\fI3\fR" 4
+.IX Item "3"
+Toggle into showing block devices (virtual disks). If pressed again
+toggles back to showing domains.
+.IP "\fIP\fR" 4
+.IX Item "P"
+Sort by \f(CW%CPU\fR.
+.IP "\fIM\fR" 4
+.IX Item "M"
+Sort by memory.
+.IP "\fIT\fR" 4
+.IX Item "T"
+Sort by total time.
+.IP "\fIN\fR" 4
+.IX Item "N"
+Sort by domain \s-1ID\s0.
+.IP "\fIF\fR" 4
+.IX Item "F"
+Select the sort field interactively (there are other
+sort fields you can choose using this key).
