The virt-mem program is no longer shipped, but was still being referenced at the bottom of the virsh and libvirtd man pages. This patch removes it from those man pages, addressing BZ# 639603: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639603

libvirtd - libvirtd management daemon
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
B<libvirtd> [ -dlv ] [ -f config_file ] [ -p pid_file ] [ -t timeout_seconds ]
|
|
|
|
B<libvirtd> --version
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The B<libvirtd> program is the server side daemon component of the libvirt
|
|
virtualization management system.
|
|
|
|
This daemon runs on host servers and performs required management tasks for
|
|
virtualized guests. This includes activities such as starting, stopping
|
|
and migrating guests between host servers, configuring and manipulating
|
|
networking, and managing storage for use by guests.
|
|
|
|
The libvirt client libraries and utilities connect to this daemon to issue
|
|
tasks and collect information about the configuration and resources of the host
|
|
system and guests.
|
|
|
|
By default, the libvirtd daemon listens for requests on a local Unix domain
|
|
socket. Using the B<-l>|B<--listen> command line option, the libvirtd daemon
|
|
can be instructed to additionally listen on a TCP/IP socket. The TCP/IP socket
|
|
to use is defined in the libvirtd configuration file.
|
|
|
|
Restarting libvirtd does not impact running guests. Guests continue to operate
|
|
and will be picked up automatically if their XML configuration has been
|
|
defined. Any guests whose XML configuration has not been defined will be lost
|
|
from the configuration.
