kvm-install-sshkey

kvm-install-sshkey is a command-line tool designed to install SSH public keys into KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) virtual machines.

• Verifies that the target virtual machine is stopped before proceeding
• Adds the public key to the specified user's .ssh/authorized_keys file
