	virt-v2v-hacking -
	DESCRIPTION	DESCRIPTION
	First a little history. Virt-v2v has been through at least two complete rewrites, so this is probably about the third version (but we don't intend to rewrite it again). The previous version was written in Perl and can be found here: L<https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/virt-v2v.git>
	The current version started out as almost a line-for-line rewrite of the Perl code in OCaml + C, and it still has a fairly similar structure. Therefore if there are details of this code that you don't understand (especially in the details of guest conversion), checking the Perl code may help.
	The files to start with when reading this code are:
	F<types.mli>
	F<v2v.ml>
	F<types.mli> defines all the structures used and passed around when communicating between different bits of the program. F<v2v.ml> controls how the program runs in stages.
	After studying those files, you may want to branch out into the input modules (F<input_>), the output modules (F<output_>) or the conversion modules (F<convert_*>). The input and output modules define I<-i> and I<-o> options (see the manual). The conversion modules define what guest types we can handle and the detailed steps involved in converting them.
	Every other file in this directory is a support module / library of some sort. Some code is written in C, especially where we want to use an external C library such as libxml2.

	virt-v2v-in-place - Convert a guest to use KVM in-place
	SYNOPSIS	SYNOPSIS
	virt-v2v-in-place -i disk [other -i* options] [virt-customize options] filename [-O output.xml]
	virt-v2v-in-place -i libvirt\|libvirtxml [other -i* options] [virt-customize options] guest [-O output.xml]
	Virt-v2v-in-place converts a single guest from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM. It does this conversion in place, modifying the original disk.
	This manual page only documents the differences between this tool and virt-v2v. You should read L<virt-v2v(1)> first.
	Selecting the input disk
	You normally run virt-v2v with one or more I<-i*> options controlling the input mode. Virt-v2v-in-place can only convert guests stored in local files.
	This command will do an in-place conversion of F<filename.img>:
	virt-v2v-in-place -i disk filename.img
	If the guest has been copied to local libvirt then:
	virt-v2v-in-place -i libvirt guest
	Output XML
	Optionally use the I<-O> option to write post-conversion metadata about the guest to an XML file. This is in the same format as L<virt-v2v-inspector(1)>. This can be used, for example, to find out what operating system and firmware was found inside the guest during conversion.
