Since manpages are generated during build, having them in the
repository is useless, so this patch removes them and makes them (and
similar) ignored properly by git.

-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
-\&\fBvirt-clone\fR [\s-1OPTION\s0]...
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-\&\fBvirt-clone\fR is a command line tool for cloning existing virtual machine
-images using the \f(CW\*(C`libvirt\*(C'\fR hypervisor management library. It will copy
-the disk images of any existing virtual machine, and define a new guest
-with an identical virtual hardware configuration. Elements which require
-uniqueness will be updated to avoid a clash between old and new guests.
-.PP
-By default, virt-clone will show an error if the necessary information to
-clone the guest is not provided. The \-\-auto\-clone option will generate
-all needed input, aside from the source guest to clone. An interactive mode
-is available with the \-\-prompt option, but this will only ask for the
-minimum required options.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.IX Header "OPTIONS"
-Most options are not required. Minimum requirements are \-\-original or
-\&\-\-original\-xml (to specify the guest to clone), \-\-name, and appropriate
-storage options via \-file.
-.IP "\-h, \-\-help" 4
-.IX Item "-h, --help"
-Show the help message and exit
-.IP "\-\-connect=URI" 4
-.IX Item "--connect=URI"
-Connect to a non-default hypervisor. See \fIvirt\-install\fR\|(1) for details
-.SS "General Options"
-.IX Subsection "General Options"
-General configuration parameters that apply to all guest clones.
-.IP "\-o \s-1ORIGINAL_GUEST\s0, \-\-original=ORIGINAL_GUEST" 2
-.IX Item "-o ORIGINAL_GUEST, --original=ORIGINAL_GUEST"
-Name of the original guest to be cloned. This guest must be shut off or paused
-since it is not possible to safely clone active guests at this time.
-.IP "\-\-original\-xml=ORIGINAL_XML" 2
-.IX Item "--original-xml=ORIGINAL_XML"
-Libvirt guest xml file to use as the original guest. The guest does not need to
-be defined on the libvirt connection. This takes the place of the
-\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-original\*(C'\fR parameter.
-.IP "\-\-auto\-clone" 2
-.IX Item "--auto-clone"
-Generate a new guest name, and paths for new storage.
-.Sp
-An example or possible generated output:
-.Sp
-.Vb 2

-\& Generated clone name : MyVM\-clone
-\&
-\& Original disk path : /home/user/foobar.img
-\& Generated disk path : /home/user/foobar\-clone.img
-.Ve
-.Sp
-If generated names collide with existing VMs or storage, a number is appended,
-such as foobar\-clone\-1.img, or MyVM\-clone\-3.
-.IP "\-n \s-1NAME\s0, \-\-name=NAME" 2
-.IX Item "-n NAME, --name=NAME"
-Name of the new guest virtual machine instance. This must be unique amongst
-all guests known to the hypervisor connection, including those not
-currently active.
-.IP "\-u \s-1UUID\s0, \-\-uuid=UUID" 2
-.IX Item "-u UUID, --uuid=UUID"
-\&\s-1UUID\s0 for the guest; if none is given a random \s-1UUID\s0 will be generated. If you
-specify \s-1UUID\s0, you should use a 32\-digit hexadecimal number. \s-1UUID\s0 are intended
-to be unique across the entire data center, and indeed world. Bear this in
-mind if manually specifying a \s-1UUID\s0
-.SS "Storage Configuration"
-.IX Subsection "Storage Configuration"
-.IP "\-f \s-1DISKFILE\s0, \-\-file=DISKFILE" 2
-.IX Item "-f DISKFILE, --file=DISKFILE"
-Path to the file, disk partition, or logical volume to use as the backing store
-for the new guest's virtual disk. If the original guest has multiple disks,
-this parameter must be repeated multiple times, once per disk in the original
-virtual machine.
-.IP "\-\-force\-copy=TARGET" 2
-.IX Item "--force-copy=TARGET"
-Force cloning the passed disk target ('hdc', 'sda', etc.). By default,
-\&\f(CW\*(C`virt\-clone\*(C'\fR will skip certain disks, such as those marked 'readonly' or
-\&'shareable'.
-.IP "\-\-nonsparse" 2
-.IX Item "--nonsparse"
-Fully allocate the new storage if the path being cloned is a sparse file.
-See \fIvirt\-install\fR\|(1) for more details on sparse vs. nonsparse.
-.IP "\-\-preserve\-data" 2
-.IX Item "--preserve-data"
-No storage is cloned: disk images specific by \-\-file are preserved as is,
-and referenced in the new clone \s-1XML\s0. This is useful if you want to clone
-a \s-1VM\s0 \s-1XML\s0 template, but not the storage contents.
-.SS "Networking Configuration"
-.IX Subsection "Networking Configuration"
-.IP "\-m \s-1MAC\s0, \-\-mac=MAC" 2
-.IX Item "-m MAC, --mac=MAC"
-Fixed \s-1MAC\s0 address for the guest; If this parameter is omitted, or the value
-\&\f(CW\*(C`RANDOM\*(C'\fR is specified a suitable address will be randomly generated. Addresses
-are applied sequentially to the networks as they are listed in the original
-guest \s-1XML\s0.
-.SS "Miscellaneous Options"
-.IX Subsection "Miscellaneous Options"
-.IP "\-\-print\-xml" 2
-.IX Item "--print-xml"
-Print the generated clone \s-1XML\s0 and exit without cloning.
-.IP "\-\-replace" 2
-.IX Item "--replace"
-Shutdown and remove any existing guest with the passed \f(CW\*(C`\-\-name\*(C'\fR before
-cloning the original guest.
-.IP "\-d, \-\-debug" 2

-Print debugging information to the terminal when running the install process.
-The debugging information is also stored in \f(CW\*(C`$HOME/.virtinst/virt\-clone.log\*(C'\fR
-even if this parameter is omitted.
-.IP "\-\-force" 2
-.IX Item "--force"
-Prevent interactive prompts. If the intended prompt was a yes/no prompt, always

-the virtual machine's disks.
-.PP
-In the following explanation of the structure of the image descriptor,
-mandatory \s-1XML\s0 elements are marked as \fBelement\fR, whereas optional elements
-are marked as \fIelement\fR.
-.PP
-All file names in the image descriptor are relative to the location of the

-The image descriptor contains information on the requirements a guest has
-on the host platform through one or more the \fI/image/domain/boot\fR
-descriptors (see section \*(L"\s-1BOOT\s0\*(R"). 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:
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-The \s-1CPU\s0 architecture of the boot descriptor, given by the

-If a suitable boot descriptor is found, the guest is created and booted
-according to the information about booting the \s-1OS\s0 from the \fIboot/os\fR

-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.
-.SH "STRUCTURE"
-.IX Header "STRUCTURE"
-The image descriptor consists of three sections, all contained in the
-toplevel \fBimage\fR element:
-.IP "General metadata about the image" 4
-.IX Item "General metadata about the image"
-A number of elements like \fIlabel\fR, \fBname\fR, and \fIdescription\fR that give
-some simple information about the image. The \fBname\fR must be a string
-suitable as a name for the virtual machine, the \fIlabel\fR is a short
-human-readable string suitable for display in graphical \s-1UI\s0's, and the
-\&\fIdescription\fR should be a longer, free-form description of the purpose of
-the image. The \fBname\fR is mandatory.
-.IP "Virtual machine attributes" 4
-.IX Item "Virtual machine attributes"
-The \fBdomain\fR element contains instructions on how to boot the image, and
-device attributes such as the number of virtual \s-1CPU\s0's and the size of the
-memory. (see section \*(L"\s-1DOMAIN\s0\*(R")
-.IP "Storage layout" 4
-.IX Item "Storage layout"
-The \fBstorage\fR element lists the files to back the virtual machine's disks
-and some information about their format and use. (see section \*(L"\s-1STORAGE\s0\*(R")
-.SH "DOMAIN"
-.IX Header "DOMAIN"
-The \fBdomain\fR element contains one or more \fBboot\fR descriptors (see section
-\&\*(L"\s-1BOOT\s0\*(R") and a \fBdevices\fR element. The \fBDevices\fR element lists the
-recommended number of virtual \s-1CPU\s0's in the \fBvcpu\fR element and the
-recommended amount of memory in kB in the \fBmemory\fR element. It also
-indicates whether the virtual machine should have a network interface
-through the \fIinterface\fR element and whether the virtual machine has a
-graphical interface through the \fIgraphics\fR element.
-.SS "\s-1BOOT\s0"
-.IX Subsection "BOOT"
-Each \fBboot\fR descriptor details how the virtual machine should be started
-on a certain hypervisor. The \fBtype\fR attribute of the \fBboot\fR element,
-which can either be \f(CW\*(C`xen\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`hvm\*(C'\fR, depending on whether the boot
-descriptor is for a paravirtualized Xen(tm) guest or a fully-virtualized
-guest.
-.PP
-The \fBboot\fR element contains three subelements:
-.IP "The platform requirements of the guest" 4
-.IX Item "The platform requirements of the guest"
-The platform requirements, contained in the \fBguest\fR element, consist of
-the \fBarch\fR element and the \fIfeatures\fR element. The \fBarch\fR element
-indicates the \s-1CPU\s0 architecture the guest expects, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`i686\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`x86_64\*(C'\fR,
-or \f(CW\*(C`ppc\*(C'\fR.
-.Sp
-The \fIfeatures\fR element indicates whether certain platform features should
-be on or off. Currently, the platform features are \fIpae\fR, \fIacpi\fR, and
-\&\fIapic\fR. They can be turned on or off by giving a \fIstate\fR attribute of
-either \f(CW\*(C`on\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`off\*(C'\fR. When a feature is mentioned in the \fIfeatures\fR
-element, it defaults to \f(CW\*(C`on\*(C'\fR.
-.IP "The details of booting the image's operating system" 4
-.IX Item "The details of booting the image's operating system"
-The \fBos\fR element for fully-virtualized \f(CW\*(C`hvm\*(C'\fR guests contains a \fBloader\fR
-element whose \fBdev\fR attribute indicates whether to boot off a hard disk
-(\f(CW\*(C`dev=\*(Aqhd\*(Aq\*(C'\fR) or off a CD-ROM (\f(CW\*(C`dev=\*(Aqcdrom\*(Aq\*(C'\fR)
-.Sp
-For paravirtualized guests, the \fBos\fR element either contains a

-booted with \fIpygrub\fR, or \fBkernel\fR, \fIinitrd\fR and \fIcmdline\fR elements. The
-contents of the \fBkernel\fR and \fIinitrd\fR elements are the names of the
-kernel and initrd files, whereas the \fIcmdline\fR element contains the
-command line that should be passed to the kernel on boot.
-.IP "The mapping of disk files as devices into the guest" 4
-.IX 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 \fBdrive\fR
-elements inside the \fBboot\fR element. Each \fBdrive\fR element references the
-name of a disk file from the \*(L"\s-1STORAGE\s0\*(R" section through its \fBdisk\fR
-attribute and can optionally specify as what device that disk file should
-appear in the guest through its \fItarget\fR attribute. If the \fItarget\fR is
-omitted, device names are assigned in the order in which the \fBdrive\fR
-elements appear, skipping already assigned devices.
-.SH "STORAGE"
-.IX Header "STORAGE"
-The \fBstorage\fR element lists the disk image files that are part of the
-virtual machine image in a list of one or more \fBdisk\fR elements. Each
-\&\fBdisk\fR element can contain the following attributes:
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-the \fBfile\fR attribute giving the name of the disk file
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-an optional \fIid\fR attribute. The name given with that attribute is used to
-reference the disk from the \fBdrive\fR element of a \fBboot\fR descriptor. If
-the \fIid\fR attribute is missing, it defaults to the \fBfile\fR attribute.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-the \fBuse\fR attribute indicating whether the disk file is a \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR,
-\&\f(CW\*(C`user\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`scratch\*(C'\fR disk. The \fBuse\fR attribute differentiates disk files
-so that an update based on replacing disk files can replace \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR
-disks, but leave \f(CW\*(C`user\*(C'\fR disks untouched.
-.Sp
-Generally, \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR disks contain application code, \f(CW\*(C`user\*(C'\fR disks contain
-the application's data, and \f(CW\*(C`scratch\*(C'\fR disks contain temporary state that
-can be erased between runs of the guest.
-.Sp
-The virtual machine image must contain files for all \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR disks, and
-may contain files for the \f(CW\*(C`user\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`scratch\*(C'\fR 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 \fIsize\fR attribute.
-.IP "\(bu" 4
-the \fIsize\fR attribute giving the size of the disk in \s-1MB\s0.

-\&\fBvirt-install\fR [\s-1OPTION\s0]...
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-\&\fBvirt-install\fR is a command line tool for creating new \s-1KVM\s0, Xen, or Linux
-container guests using the \f(CW\*(C`libvirt\*(C'\fR hypervisor management library.
-See the \s-1EXAMPLES\s0 section at the end of this document to quickly get started.
-.PP
-\&\fBvirt-install\fR tool supports graphical installations using (for example)
-\&\s-1VNC\s0 or \s-1SPICE\s0, as well as text mode installs over serial console. The guest
-can be configured to use one or more virtual disks, network interfaces,
-audio devices, physical \s-1USB\s0 or \s-1PCI\s0 devices, among others.
-.PP
-The installation media can be held locally or remotely on \s-1NFS\s0, \s-1HTTP\s0, \s-1FTP\s0
-servers. In the latter case \f(CW\*(C`virt\-install\*(C'\fR will fetch the minimal files
-necessary to kick off the installation process, allowing the guest
-to fetch the rest of the \s-1OS\s0 distribution as needed. \s-1PXE\s0 booting, and importing
-an existing disk image (thus skipping the install phase) are also supported.
-.PP
-Given suitable command line arguments, \f(CW\*(C`virt\-install\*(C'\fR is capable of running
-completely unattended, with the guest 'kickstarting' itself too. This allows
-for easy automation of guest installs. An interactive mode is also available
-with the \-\-prompt option, but this will only ask for the minimum required
-options.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.IX Header "OPTIONS"

-.IX Item "--security type=TYPE[,label=LABEL][,relabel=yes|no]"
-Configure domain security driver settings. Type can be either 'static' or
-\&'dynamic'. 'static' configuration requires a security \s-1LABEL\s0. Specifying
-\&\s-1LABEL\s0 without \s-1TYPE\s0 implies static configuration.

-Distribution tree installation source. virt-install can recognize
-certain distribution trees and fetches a bootable kernel/initrd pair to
-launch the install.
-.Sp
-With libvirt 0.9.4 or later, network \s-1URL\s0 installs work for remote connections.
-virt-install will download kernel/initrd to the local machine, and then
