.SH "WARNING"
.IX Header "WARNING"
Using \f(CW\*(C`virt\-tar\-in\*(C'\fR on live virtual machines can be dangerous,
potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut
down before you use this command.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`virt\-tar\-in\*(C'\fR unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine
disk image or named libvirt domain.
.PP
The first parameter is the tar file.  Use \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR to read the tar file
from standard input.  The second parameter is the absolute target
directory to unpack into.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
Upload a home directory to a guest:

.SH "JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH"
.IX Header "JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH"
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the
\&\fIguestfish\fR\|(1) \f(CW\*(C`tar\-in\*(C'\fR command.  For anything more complex than a
trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read
\&\fIguestfish\fR\|(1) to see the full list of options.
