virt-list-partitions - List partitions in a virtual machine or disk image
virt-list-partitions [--options] domname
virt-list-partitions [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...]
This tool is obsolete. Use virt-filesystems(1) as a more flexible replacement.
virt-list-partitions is a command line tool to list
the partitions that are contained in a virtual machine or
disk image. It is mainly useful as a first step to using
virt-resize(1).
virt-list-partitions is just a simple wrapper around
libguestfs(3) functionality. For more complex cases you should
look at the guestfish(1) tool.
Display brief help.
Display version number and exit.
If using libvirt, connect to the given URI. If omitted, then we connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used at all.
Specify the format of disk images given on the command line. If this is omitted then the format is autodetected from the content of the disk image.
If disk images are requested from libvirt, then this program asks libvirt for this information. In this case, the value of the format parameter is ignored.
If working with untrusted raw-format guest disk images, you should ensure the format is always specified.
Show sizes in human-readable form (eg. "1G").
With this option, virt-list-partitions displays the type
and size of each partition too (where "type" means ext3, pv etc.)
Display the total size of each block device (as a separate row or rows).
Libvirt guest names can contain arbitrary characters, some of which
have meaning to the shell such as # and space. You may need to
quote or escape these characters on the command line. See the shell
manual page sh(1) for details.
