DESCRIPTION
       virt-manager is a desktop tool for managing virtual machines. It
       provides the ability to control the lifecycle of existing machines
       (bootup/shutdown,pause/resume,suspend/restore), provision new virtual
       machines and various types of store, manage virtual networks, access
       the graphical console of virtual machines, and view performance
       statistics, all done locally or remotely.

       -h
       --help

	   in ~/.cache/virt-manager/virt-manager.log). This function implies
	   --no-fork.

       --no-fork

	   Display the corresponding "DIALOG-WINDOW" when launching
	   "virt-manager". This function implies --no-conn-autostart and the

	       Display the wizard for creating new virtual machines

	   --show-domain-editor NAME|ID|UUID
	       Display the dialog for editing properties of the virtual
	       machine with unique ID matching either the domain name, ID, or
	       UUID

	   --show-domain-performance NAME|ID|UUID
	       Display the dialog for monitoring performance of the virtual
	       machine with unique ID matching either the domain name, ID, or
	       UUID

	   --show-domain-console NAME|ID|UUID
	       Display the virtual console of the virtual machine with unique
	       ID matching either the domain name, ID, or UUID

	   --show-host-summary
	       Display the main window summarizing performance for all virtual
	       machines on the host.

	   --spice-disable-auto-usbredir
	       Auto USB redirection is supported by default. This option
	       switches off it.

       Standard GTK options like --g-fatal-warnings are also accepted.
