Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-10-16 13:44:21 UTC 
If the guest domain is something like "#" then the usual
command:

  virt-ls #

fails because the shell thinks that # is a comment.

The documentation for all libguestfs tools should describe
how to quote parameters to defend them from the shell (this
comes from a customer request).
