|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The QEMU Guest Agent is a daemon intended to be run within virtual
|
|
|
|
+machines. It allows the hypervisor host to perform various operations
|
|
|
|
+in the guest, such as:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+@itemize
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+get information from the guest
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+set the guest's system time
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+read/write a file
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+sync and freeze the filesystems
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+suspend the guest
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+reconfigure guest local processors
|
|
|
|
+@item
|
|
|
|
+set user's password
|
|

|
|
|
|
+@end itemize
|
|

|
|
|
|
+qemu-ga will read a system configuration file on startup (located at
|
|
|
|
+q@file{/etc/qemu/qemu-ga.conf} by default), then parse remaining
|
|
|
|
+configuration options on the command line. For the same key, the last
|
|
|
|
+option wins, but the lists accumulate (see below for configuration
|
|
|
|
+file format).

|
|
|
+ @samp{/etc/qemu/fsfreeze-hook}). If using -F with an argument, do
