+ <listitem><para>Exports a TAR or RAW container or VM image and
+ stores it in the specified file. The first parameter should be
+ a VM or container image name. The second parameter should be a
+ file path the TAR or RAW image is written to. If the path ends
+ in <literal>.gz</literal> the file is compressed with gzip, if
+ it ends in <literal>.xz</literal> with xz, and if it ends in
+ <literal>.bz2</literal> with bzip2. If the path ends in
+ neither the file is left uncompressed. If the second argument
+ is missing the image is written to standard output. The
+ compression may also be explicitly selected with the
+ <option>--format=</option> switch. This is in particular
+ useful if the second parameter is left unspecified.</para>

+ <para>Much like image downloads and imports, ongoing exports
+ may be listed with <command>list-transfers</command> and
+ aborted with
+ <command>cancel-transfer</command>.</para>

+ <para>Note that currently only directory and subvolume images
+ may be exported as TAR images, and only raw disk images as RAW
