virt-copy-out(1)	    Virtualization Support	      virt-copy-out(1)

NAME
       virt-copy-out - Copy files and directories out of a virtual machine
       disk image.

SYNOPSIS
	virt-copy-out -a disk.img /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir

	virt-copy-out -d domain /file|dir [/file|dir ...] localdir

DESCRIPTION
       "virt-copy-out" copies files and directories out of a virtual machine
       disk image or named libvirt domain.

       You can give one of more filenames and directories on the command line.
       Directories are copied out recursively.

EXAMPLES
       Download the home directories from a virtual machine:

	mkdir homes
	virt-copy-out -d MyGuest /home homes

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
       guestfish(1) "copy-out" command.	 For anything more complex than a
       trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS
       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read
       guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO
       guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-edit(1),
       virt-tar-in(1), virt-tar-out(1), http://libguestfs.org/.
