=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<virt-viewer> is a minimal tool for displaying the graphical console

protocol. The guest can be referred to based on its name, ID, or
UUID. If the guest is not already running, then the viewer can be told
to wait until is starts before attempting to connect to the console
The viewer can connect to remote hosts to lookup the console
information and then also connect to the remote console using the same
network transport.
