  virsh dumpxml {{guest_id}} > {{path/to/guest.xml}}
• Create a guest from a configuration file:
  virsh create {{path/to/config_file.xml}}
• Edit a guest's configuration file (editor can be changed with $EDITOR):
  virsh edit {{guest_id}}
• Start/reboot/shutdown/suspend/resume a guest:
  virsh {{command}} {{guest_id}}
• Save the current state of a guest to a file:
  virsh save {{guest_id}} {{filename}}
• Delete a running guest:
  virsh destroy {{guest_id}} && virsh undefine {{guest_id}}
