NAME
     virt-manager -  Desktop  application  for  managing  virtual
     machines

SYNOPSIS
     virt-manager  [-h,  --help]  [--profile=FILE]  [-c  URI,  --
     connect=URI]  [--debug]  [--no-dbus] [--no-fork] [--no-conn-
     autostart]      [--show-domain-creator]      [--show-domain-
     editor=UUID]    [--show-domain-performance=UUID]    [--show-
     domain-console=UUID] [--show-host-summary]

DESCRIPTION
     The "Virtual Machine Manager" (virt-manager)  is  a  desktop
     application for managing virtual machines.

     It presents a summary view of running domains and their live
     performance  &  resource  utilization statistics. A detailed
     view presents graphs showing performance & utilization  over
     time.  Ultimately it will allow creation of new domains, and
     configuration & adjustment of a domain's resource allocation
     & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC client viewer presents a
     full graphical console to the guest domain.

     You need root access to run virt-manager.

     --c URI, --connect=URI
