NAME

libvdeplug_cmd - vdeplug module: stream a VDE network through a command

SYNOPSIS

libvdeplug_cmd.so

DESCRIPTION

This is the standard vdeplug module to stream a VDE network using a command. This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.

The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:

: cmd://command

EXAMPLES

Appropriate shell quoting is needed.

cmd://ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde://
kvm .... -net vde,sock=cmd://ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde:// ...
