libvdeplug_cmd - vdeplug module: stream a VDE network through a command
libvdeplug_cmd.so
This is the standard vdeplug module to stream a VDE network using a command. This module of libvdeplug4 can be used in any program supporting vde like vde_plug, kvm, qemu, user-mode-linux and virtualbox.
The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is the following:
Appropriate shell quoting is needed.
cmd://"ssh remote.host.org vde_plug vxvde://"
kvm .... -net vde,sock=cmd://"ssh remote.host.org vde_plug
vxvde://" ...
In these cases ssh should have been configured to require no foreground authentication (see how to set up public key authentication: ssh(1) and ssh-keygen(1)).
