.SH NAME
fence_rhevm - Fence agent for RHEV-M REST API
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
fence_rhevm is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with RHEV-M REST API to fence virtual machines.
.P
fence_rhevm accepts options on the command line as well
as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the
agent. fence_rhevm can be run by itself with command
line options.  This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off
from scripts.
