libvdeplug_cmd - vdeplug module: stream a VDE network through a command
.SH SYNOPSIS
libvdeplug_cmd.so
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is the standard vdeplug module to stream a VDE network using a command.
This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like
\fBvde_plug\fR, \fBkvm\fR, \fBqemu\fR, \fBuser-mode-linux\fR and \fBvirtualbox\fR.

The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
.RS
.br
\fBcmd://\fIcommand\fR
.RE

.SH EXAMPLES
Appropriate shell quoting is needed.

.B cmd://"ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde://"
.br
.B kvm .... -net vde,sock=cmd://"ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde://" ...
.br

In these cases ssh should have been configured to require no foreground authentication 
(see how to set up public key authentication: ssh(1) and ssh-keygen(1)).
