Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Cole Robinson d2f971390e virsh: Convert '<cmd> --help' to 'help <cmd>'
Often times I find myself halfway through typing a long command when
I want to see 'help' output. I instinctively append '--help' to the
command I'm typing, only to get an error:

    $ virsh vol-create-as foo --help
    error: command 'vol-create-as' doesn't support option --help

This patch makes --help work in a pretty hacky way. One missing piece
here is that --help isn't listed as an option in the actual 'help <cmd>'
output, but maybe this can be a starting point for someone.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
