NAME
       vmexec-pull - Pull an image without running a virtual machine

SYNOPSIS
       vmexec pull [--prepare] [--disable-kvm] [-m|--memory]
       [--show-vm-window] [-s|--ssh-timeout] [-h|--help] <OS_TYPE>

DESCRIPTION
       Pull an image without running a virtual machine

OPTIONS
       --prepare
              Additionally prepare the image so that the first run is fast

              This extracts the kernel, creates the overlay image and performs
              the warmup boot that would otherwise happen on the first run.

       --disable-kvm
              Run the warmup virtual machine with TCG instead of KVM

              This would be mostly useful in environments where KVM is not
              available. It will be a lot slower but might be acceptable in
              some contexts.

       -m, --memory <MEMORY>
              Memory limit for the warmup virtual machine in GBs

              Must be an integer of at least 1.

              If not provided, all available host memory is used.

       --show-vm-window
              Show a window with the warmup virtual machine running in it

              This is mostly useful for debugging boot failures.

       -s, --ssh-timeout <SSH_TIMEOUT> [default: 20]
              SSH connection timeout during warmup

              Try for this long (in seconds) to connect to the virtual
              machine's SSH server.

       -h, --help
              Print help (see a summary with '-h')

       <OS_TYPE>
              The operating system image to pull

              Possible values:

                     o archlinux

                                     pull                       vmexec-pull(1)
