Description-en: Displaying the graphical console of a virtual machine
The console is accessed using the VNC or SPICE protocol. The guest can be
referred to based on its name, ID, or UUID. If the guest is not already
running, then the viewer can be told to wait until is starts before attempting
to connect to the console The viewer can connect to remote hosts to lookup the
console information and then also connect to the remote console using the same
network transport.
