qvm-ls

[john.david.r.smith]

hi.
two questions about qvm-ls
1)
qvm-ls displays ip, ip back an gateway/DNS.
what is ip back?
2)
how does the --raw-data flag work?
can someone post an example?
i tried things like
qvm-ls --raw-data ip sys-tor
but i always end up with a traceback of qvm-ls ('line 225
fields[f]["max_width"] = len(f)')

ip back is the IP address of the vif interfaces for a ProxyVM.
It is the address that downstream qubes see at first hop upstream, and is
default gateway for those qubes, (and default nameserver too.)

You misunderstand the use of --raw-data: it's not for VMs.
--raw-list just gives you names, --raw data gives you values for specific
keys:
qvm-ls --raw-data netvm will show ordered list of the netvms for each VM.
