NAME

qemud-cfg - read and print configurations of virtual machines.

SYNOPSIS

qemud-cfg [ options ] name

DESCRIPTION

qemud-cfg is designed as an executable library commonly invoked qemu-adm and qemud-init .

OPTIONS

-c \ Print control parameters required by qemud-init on fd 3. The format is KEY=VALUE. The keys will be set in the environment. qemud-init does use these variables to start <name> .

-f \ Print the pidfile of <name> with absolute path on fd 3. The format is PIDFILE=VARDIR/run/<name>-qemu.pid . qemud-init does use it to set the qemu option -pidfile .

-p \ Print the actual configuration from config files of <name> in a human friendly format to stdout.

-r \ Print the actual runtime configuration of <name> in a human friendly format to stdout. If <name> is not running qemud-cfg does fallback to -p automatically.

-x \ Read the config files of <name> and print the qemu command line on fd 4. Required by qemud-init to start a virtual machine.

-v \ Make qemud-cfg more verbose. Could be used multiple times. Takes effect with -p or -r only.

Only one of the options -p , -r or -x could be used at a time.

CONFIG FILES

qemud-cfg reads the configuration from <name>-qemud.rc (required) and <name>-qemu.cfg (optional). See man qemu-init(5) for details.

RETURN CODES

qemud-cfg returns 0 on success. Otherwise it returns with an error code and sets errno accordingly.
