I know all of virsh, virt-install, and virt-manager can manage the virtual machines. However, what are the difference between the three?

virsh is a command line interface that can be used to create, destroy, stop start and edit virtual machines and configure the virtual environment (such as virtual networks etc)

virt-install is a command line tool that simplifies the process of creating a virtual machine.

virt-manager is a GUI that can be used to create, destroy, stop, start and edit virtual machines and configure the virtual environment (such as virtual networks etc).
