Description

I'm not sure we should mentions that in --help in case linux guest/agent gain (some of) these features later on. If linux guest/agent gain these features at some point, then we can remove this message then. Thanks, - Swapna The thing is, the client with these help messages and the guest with or without WAN features support may run on totally unrelated machines which are not upgraded at the same time. Maybe we can go with something like "(if supported by the guest vdagent)"? in --help Created attachment 511642 [details]
