=head1 NAME
virt-edit - Edit a file in a virtual machine
=head1 SYNOPSIS
virt-edit [--options] domname file
virt-edit [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...] file
=head1 WARNING
You must I<not> use C<virt-edit> on live virtual machines. If you do
this, you risk disk corruption in the VM. C<virt-edit> tries to stop
you from doing this, but doesn't catch all cases.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<virt-edit> is a command line tool to edit C<file> where C<file>
exists in the named virtual machine (or disk image).
If you want to just view a file, use L<virt-cat(1)>. For more complex
cases you should look at the L<guestfish(1)> tool.
=head1 EXAMPLES
virt-edit mydomain /boot/grub/grub.conf
virt-edit mydomain /etc/passwd
=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.
