💅 VIRT-SSH-HELPER(8) — like, the libvirt socket proxy page, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is virt-ssh-helper from the Virtualization Support corner of the manual, and it's short but it matters 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

virt-ssh-helper — a libvirt socket proxy, no cap 💫

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

virt-ssh-helper [OPTION]... URI

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so virt-ssh-helper is an internal tool 👀 — it's the thing that handles connections coming from remote clients. and like, the manpage is so serious about this: it's not intended to be called directly by the user. so if you were about to run it yourself… babe, no 🙈 that's not your moment. it's plumbing. iconic plumbing, but plumbing 🧚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • URI — the local libvirt URI you want the remote client connected to. that's the whole vibe 🦋
  • -r, --readonly — makes the connection read-only. look but don't touch energy ✨
  • -h, --help — displays command line help usage, then exits. the "wait what does this do" button 👑
  • -V, --version — displays version information, then exits. flex the number, then dip 💫

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

the exit status is zero on success, non-zero on failure. classic. zero = slay, non-zero = something's giving broken 💀

🫶 AUTHOR 🫶

Daniel P. Berrangé — yes, that's the author, periodt 💜
