Syntax
prlctl set ID|VM_name --device-add parallel
{--device name|--output file_name}
[--enable|--disable][--connect|--disconnect]

Description
|
ID
|
The virtual machine ID.
|
name
|
The virtual machine name.
|
--device-add
|
Adds a new parallel port to the virtual machine. You can connect up to three parallel ports to a virtual machine.
|
--device-set
|
Modifies the parameters of an existing virtual parallel port.
|
parallel
|
Specified the type of the virtual device to add (in this instance, a virtual parallel port).
|
parallel N
|
The name of the parallel port to modify. To obtain the list of ports, use the prlctl list command with the --info option.
|
--device name
|
The name of the physical parallel port to which to connect the virtual parallel port.
|
--output file_name
|
The name of the output file to which to connect the virtual parallel port.
|
--enable
|
Enables the specified parallel port. All newly added parallel ports are enabled by default (provided the --disable option was omitted during the port creation).
|
--disable
|
Disable the specified virtual parallel port. The port itself is not removed from the virtual machine configuration.
|
--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.
