Parallel Port Management Options

This group of options is used to manage parallel port in a virtual machine.

Syntax

prlctl set <vm_ID|vm_name> {--device-add parallel | --device-set parallel<N>}

{--device <dev_name> | --output <file>}

[--enable|--disable] [--connect|--disconnect]

Options

Name	Description
`<vm_ID\|vm_name>`	The virtual machine ID.
--device-add parallel	Adds a new parallel port to the virtual machine. You can connect up to three parallel ports to a virtual machine.
--device-set parallel`<N>`	Modifies the parameters of an existing virtual parallel port. To obtain the list of ports, use the `prlctl list` command with the `--info` option.
--device `<dev_name>`	The name of the physical parallel port to which to connect the virtual parallel port.
--output `<file>`	The name of the output file to which to connect the virtual parallel port.
--enable`\|`--disable	Enables or disables the specified parallel port. All newly added parallel ports are enabled by default (provided the `--disable` option is omitted).
--connect	Automatically connect the specified virtual parallel port during the virtual machine startup process.
--disconnect	Do not automatically connect the specified virtual parallel port during the virtual machine startup process.
