+ first argument should be a tar archive, possibly compressed
+ with xz, gzip or bzip2. It will then be unpacked into its own
+ subvolume in <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>. When
+ <command>import-raw</command> is used the file should be a
+ qcow2 or raw disk image, possibly compressed with xz, gzip or
+ bzip2. If the second argument (the resulting image name) is

+ it ends in <literal>.xz</literal> with xz, and if it ends in
