NAME
vmware-xferlogs - dump vm-support output to vmx logfile
SYNOPSIS
vmware-xferlogs OPTIONS FILE
DESCRIPTION
vmware-xferlogs is a simple console application and can be run as any
user. It is based on rpctool to dump the vm-support output to the vmx
log file base64 encoded. It can dump any file supplied on the command-
line to the vmx log. It also does the decoding part of it. It can read
the vmware.log file decode and write the encoded files in the directory
it was invoked.
Example of a transfer found in the vmx log file:
