It's common for images to come configured with cloud-init. Adding support for providing a cloud-init ISO (or even creating a suitable one from provided user inputs) would be nice.

Stuff to do:

• Generate bash completions
• Generate fish completions
• Generate man page
• Stick a version in it
• Write a Makefile to perform build/install steps

Serial & console connections are doing that thing where long input lines don't wrap to the next line, rather they overwrite the current input line. Is this something that readline solves?

There are a handful of external programs that are called at runtime. Their presence should be checked before doing anything.

• qemu-img

When connecting via SSH, the IP detection logic sometimes fails.

[link@thelio ~]$ vm connect -m ssh ic-rhel7-dev
error: no interfaces detected for ic-rhel7-dev
[link@thelio ~]$ vm connect -m ssh ic-rhel7-dev
error: no interfaces detected for ic-rhel7-dev
[link@thelio ~]$ vm connect -m ssh ic-rhel7-dev
error: no interfaces detected for ic-rhel7-dev
[link@thelio ~]$ vm connect -m ssh ic-rhel7-dev
error: no interfaces detected for ic-rhel7-dev
[link@thelio ~]$ vm connect -m ssh ic-rhel7-dev

Running vm create (without a positional image name argument) should report an error about a missing image name, not the underlying stat error that comes back when it tries to look up the file: stat /home/link/.local/share/vm/images/.qcow2: no such file or directory

Allow for customizing other domain features like memory at creation (i.e. vm create --memory 1GB)

• --memory
• --video <type>
• --network <bridge_device_name>

That destroys the VM automatically when it is powered off.

For those times when you download a qcow2 image externally and have a copy of it present on disk.

• Take a snapshot upon creation
• Add a quick "reset" option to revert a VM to the creation snapshot

The term width and height of serial connections is set to the calling terminal emulator's window width & height and does not adjust dynamically when the terminal emulator resizes. Is it possible to adjust the term width and height inside the VM?

Similar to virsh edit, but more user friendly (i.e. no editing XML by hand).

Is it possible to set the TERM to xterm-256color, or inherit the TERM value from the calling environment?
