NAME
       virt-viewer - display the graphical console for a virtual machine

SYNOPSIS
       virt-viewer [OPTIONS] -- DOMAIN-NAME|ID|UUID

DESCRIPTION
       virt-viewer is a minimal tool for displaying the graphical console of a
       virtual machine. The console is accessed using the VNC or SPICE
       protocol. The guest can be referred to based on its name, ID, or UUID.
       If the guest is not already running, then the viewer can be told to
       wait until is starts before attempting to connect to the console The
       viewer can connect to remote hosts to lookup the console information
       and then also connect to the remote console using the same network
       transport.

OPTIONS
       The following options are accepted when running "virt-viewer":

       -h, --help
	   Display command line help summary

       -V, --version
	   Display program version number

       -v, --verbose
	   Display information about the connection

       -c URI, --connect=URI
	   Specify the hypervisor connection URI

       -w, --wait
	   Wait for the domain to start up before attempting to connect to the
	   console

       -r, --reconnect
	   Automatically reconnect to the domain if it shuts down and restarts

       -z PCT, --zoom=PCT
	   Zoom level of the display window in percentage. Range 10-200.

       -d, --direct
	   Do not attempt to tunnel the console over SSH, even if the main
	   connection URI used SSH.

       -a, --attach
	   Use libvirt to directly attach to a local display, instead of
	   making a TCP/UNIX socket connection. This avoids the need to
	   authentication with the remote display, if authentication with
	   libvirt is already allowed.	This option does not work with remote
	   displays.

       -f, --full-screen
	   Start with the window maximised to fullscreen

       --debug
	   Print debugging information

       -H HOTKEYS, --hotkeys HOTKEYS
	   Override the default hotkey bindings with HOTKEYS. Where HOTKEYS is
	   <action1>=<key1>[+<key2>][,<action2>=<key3>[+<key4>]]. Key-names
	   are case-insensitive, valid actions are: toggle-fullscreen,
	   release-cursor, smartcard-insert and smartcard-remove. Examples:

	     --hotkeys=toggle-fullscreen=shift+f11,release-cursor=shift+f12

	     --hotkeys=release-cursor=ctrl+alt

	   Note that hotkeys for which no binding is given are disabled,
	   specifying an empty string disables all hotkeys.

EXAMPLES
       To connect to the guest called 'demo' running under Xen

	  virt-viewer demo

       To connect to the guest with ID 7 running under QEMU

	  virt-viewer --connect qemu:///system 7

       To wait for the guest with UUID 66ab33c0-6919-a3f7-e659-16c82d248521 to
       startup and then connect, also reconnecting upon restart of VM

	  virt-viewer --reconnect --wait 66ab33c0-6919-a3f7-e659-16c82d248521

       To connect to a remote console using TLS

	  virt-viewer --connect xen://example.org/ demo

       To connect to a remote host using SSH, lookup the guest config and then
       make a direct non-tunnelled connection of the console

	  virt-viewer --direct --connect xen+ssh://root@example.org/ demo
