-=head1 NAME
-
-virt-image - Format of the virtual image XML descriptor
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-L<virt-image(1)> relies on an XML descriptor to create virtual machines from
-virtual machine images. In general, a virtual machine image consists of the
-XML descriptor (usually in a file F<image.xml>) and a number of files for
-the virtual machine's disks.
-
-In the following explanation of the structure of the image descriptor,
-mandatory XML elements are marked as B<element>, whereas optional elements
-are marked as I<element>.
-
-All file names in the image descriptor are relative to the location of the
-descriptor itself. Generally, disk files are either kept in the same
-directory as the image descriptor, or in a subdirectory.
-
-=head1 HOST MATCHING
-
-The image descriptor contains information on the requirements a guest has
-on the host platform through one or more the F</image/domain/boot>
-descriptors (see section L</BOOT>). The image can only be used if at least
-one of the boot descriptors is suitable for the host platform; a boot
-descriptor is suitable if:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-The CPU architecture of the boot descriptor, given by the
-F<boot/guest/arch> element, is supported by the host
-
-=item *
-
-The host supports a guest with the features requested in the
-F<boot/guest/features> element, such as providing an APIC, or having ACPI
-turned off
-
-=back
-
-If a suitable boot descriptor is found, the guest is created and booted
-according to the information about booting the OS from the F<boot/os>
-element and with the disks specified in the F<boot/drive> element. If more
-than one suitable boot descriptor is found, one of them is chosen based on
-a heuristic, generally preferring paravirtualized guests over full
-virtualized ones, though this is an implementation detail of the tool
-creating the virtual machine.
-
-=head1 STRUCTURE
-
-The image descriptor consists of three sections, all contained in the
-toplevel B<image> element:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item General metadata about the image
-
-A number of elements like I<label>, B<name>, and I<description> that give
-some simple information about the image. The B<name> must be a string
-suitable as a name for the virtual machine, the I<label> is a short
-human-readable string suitable for display in graphical UI's, and the
-I<description> should be a longer, free-form description of the purpose of
-the image. The B<name> is mandatory.
-
-=item Virtual machine attributes
-
-The B<domain> element contains instructions on how to boot the image, and
-device attributes such as the number of virtual CPU's and the size of the
-memory. (see section L</DOMAIN>)
-
-=item Storage layout
-
-The B<storage> element lists the files to back the virtual machine's disks
-and some information about their format and use. (see section L</STORAGE>)
-
-=back
-
-=head1 DOMAIN
-
-The B<domain> element contains one or more B<boot> descriptors (see section
-L</BOOT>) and a B<devices> element. The B<Devices> element lists the
-recommended number of virtual CPU's in the B<vcpu> element and the
-recommended amount of memory in kB in the B<memory> element. It also
-indicates whether the virtual machine should have a network interface
-through the I<interface> element and whether the virtual machine has a
-graphical interface through the I<graphics> element.
-
-=head2 BOOT
-
-Each B<boot> descriptor details how the virtual machine should be started
-on a certain hypervisor. The B<type> attribute of the B<boot> element,
-which can either be C<xen> or C<hvm>, depending on whether the boot
-descriptor is for a paravirtualized Xen(tm) guest or a fully-virtualized
-guest.
-
-The B<boot> element contains three subelements:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item The platform requirements of the guest
-
-The platform requirements, contained in the B<guest> element, consist of
-the B<arch> element and the I<features> element. The B<arch> element
-indicates the CPU architecture the guest expects, e.g. C<i686>, C<x86_64>,
-or C<ppc>.
-
-The I<features> element indicates whether certain platform features should
-be on or off. Currently, the platform features are I<pae>, I<acpi>, and
-I<apic>. Omitting a togglable feature tag turns it off.
-
-=item The details of booting the image's operating system
-
-The B<os> element for fully-virtualized C<hvm> guests contains a B<loader>
-element whose B<dev> attribute indicates whether to boot off a hard disk
-(C<dev='hd'>) or off a CD-ROM (C<dev='cdrom'>)
-
-For paravirtualized guests, the B<os> element either contains a
-C<< <loader>pygrub</loader> >> element, indicating that the guest should be
-booted with F<pygrub>, or B<kernel>, I<initrd> and I<cmdline> elements. The
-contents of the B<kernel> and I<initrd> elements are the names of the
-kernel and initrd files, whereas the I<cmdline> element contains the
-command line that should be passed to the kernel on boot.
-
-=item The mapping of disk files as devices into the guest
-
-The mapping of disk files into the guest is performed by a list of B<drive>
-elements inside the B<boot> element. Each B<drive> element references the
-name of a disk file from the L</STORAGE> section through its B<disk>
-attribute and can optionally specify as what device that disk file should
-appear in the guest through its I<target> attribute. If the I<target> is
-omitted, device names are assigned in the order in which the B<drive>
-elements appear, skipping already assigned devices.
-
-=back
-
-=head1 STORAGE
-
-The B<storage> element lists the disk image files that are part of the
-virtual machine image in a list of one or more B<disk> elements. Each
-B<disk> element can contain the following attributes:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-the B<file> attribute giving the name of the disk file
-
-=item *
-
-an optional I<id> attribute. The name given with that attribute is used to
-reference the disk from the B<drive> element of a B<boot> descriptor. If
-the I<id> attribute is missing, it defaults to the B<file> attribute.
-
-=item *
-
-the B<use> attribute indicating whether the disk file is a C<system>,
-C<user>, or C<scratch> disk. The B<use> attribute differentiates disk files
-so that an update based on replacing disk files can replace C<system>
-disks, but leave C<user> disks untouched.
-
-Generally, C<system> disks contain application code, C<user> disks contain
-the application's data, and C<scratch> disks contain temporary state that
-can be erased between runs of the guest.
-
-The virtual machine image must contain files for all C<system> disks, and
-may contain files for the C<user> and C<scratch> disks. If the latter are
-not part of the image, they are initialized as empty files when a guest is
-created, with the size given by the I<size> attribute.
-
-=item *
-
-the I<size> attribute giving the size of the disk in MB.
-
-=item *
-
-the I<format> attribute giving the format of the disk file. Currently, this
-can be one of: C<raw> C<iso>, C<qcow>, C<qcow2>, or C<vmdk>.
-

-
-=head1 EXAMPLE
-
-The image descriptor below can be used to create a virtual machine running
-the System Rescue CD (C<http://www.sysresccd.org/>) Besides the descriptor,
-you only need the ISO image from the System Rescue CD website.
-
-    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-    <image>
-      <name>sysresccd</name>
-      <domain>

-          </guest>
-          <os>
-            <loader dev="cdrom"/>
-          </os>

-        <devices>
-          <vcpu>1</vcpu>
-          <memory>262144</memory>
-          <interface/>
-          <graphics/>
-        </devices>
-      </domain>
-      <storage>
-        <disk file="root.raw" use="scratch" size="100" format="raw"/>
-        <disk id="sysresc" file="isos/systemrescuecd.iso"
-              use="system" format="iso"/>
-      </storage>
-    </image>

-=head1 NAME
-
-virt-image - create virtual machines from an image descriptor
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-B<virt-image> [OPTION]... IMAGE.XML
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-
-WARNING: B<virt-image> is planned for removal in the near future. If you are depending on this tool, please contact the developers at virt-tools-list@redhat.com
-
-
-B<virt-image> is a command line tool for creating virtual machines from an
-XML image descriptor C<IMAGE.XML> (L<virt-image(5)>). Most attributes of
-the virtual machine are taken from the XML descriptor (e.g., where the
-files to back the virtual machine's disks are and how to map them into the
-guest), though certain information must be added on the command line, such
-as the name of the guest.
-
-The XML descriptor defines most attributes of the guest, making it possible
-to bundle and distribute it together with the files backing the guest's
-disks.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-Most options can be omitted, in which case B<virt-image> will use defaults
-from the XML descriptor. When defaults are taken from the XML descriptor,
-they are indicated below as a path. --name is the only required command
-line option.

-See L<virt-install(1)> for more details.
-
-=item --vcpus=VCPUS
-
-Number of vcpus to configure for your guest. Defaults to
-C</image/devices/vcpu> in the XML descriptor. This option can also be
-used to set CPU topology, please see L<virt-install(1)> for more info.
-
-=item --cpu
-
-Configure the CPU and CPU features exposed to the guest. Please see
-L<virt-install(1)> for more info.
-
-=item --os-variant=OS_VARIANT
-
-Optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating system (ex.
-'fedora18', 'rhel7', 'winxp'). While not requires, specifying this
-options is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as it can greatly increase performance
-by specifying virtio among other guest tweaks.
-See L<virt-install(1)> for valid values.
-

-
-
-
-
-=head2 Networking Configuration
-
-=over 2
-
-=item -w NETWORK, --network=NETWORK
-
-Connect the guest to the host network. This deprecates the -m/--mac and -b/--bridge options. See L<virt-install(1)> for details.
-
-=back
-
-
-
-=head2 Graphics Configuration
-
-If no graphics option is specified, C<virt-image> will default to
-'--graphics vnc' if the DISPLAY environment variable is set, otherwise
-'--graphics none' is used.
-
-=over 2
-
-=item --graphics TYPE,opt1=arg1,opt2=arg2,...
-
-Specifies the graphical display configuration. This does not configure any
-virtual hardware, just how the guest's graphical display can be accessed.
-See L<virt-install(1)> for details usage info.
-
-This deprecates the following options: --vnc, --vncport, --vnclisten, -k/--keymap, --sdl, --nographics
