followed by the most recent log data
from the journal. This function is
intended to generate human-readable
output. If you are looking for
computer-parsable output, use
<command>show</command> instead. Note
that the log data shown is reported by
the virtual machine or container
manager, and frequently contains
console output of the machine, but not
necessarily journal contents of the
machine itself.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Show properties of one
or more registered virtual machines or
containers or the manager itself. If
no argument is specified, properties
of the manager will be shown. If an
NAME is specified, properties of this
virtual machine or container are
shown. By default, empty properties
are suppressed. Use
<option>--all</option> to show those
too. To select specific properties to
show, use
<option>--property=</option>. This

<listitem><para>Power off one or more

container's init process, which causes
systemd-compatible init systems to
shut down cleanly. This operation does
not work on containers that do not run
