+ Imports a TAR or RAW container or VM image,

+ import-tar is used the file specified as
+ first argument should be a tar archive, possibly compressed
+ with xz, gzip or bzip2. It will then be unpacked into its own
+ subvolume in /var/lib/machines. When
+ import-raw is used the file should be a
+ qcow2 or raw disk image, possibly compressed with xz, gzip or
+ bzip2. If the second argument (the resulting image name) is

+ Similar as with pull-tar,
