Description

Or add to the documentation that you need to use openbsd netcat instead >.<

the -U option does not exist in gnu netcat, so connecting to libvirt fails: End of file while reading data: nc: invalid option -- 'U'

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check how netcat is called in the codebase, especially around libvirt connections. Determine if the U option is necessary and consider adding a fallback or documenting the requirement for OpenBSD netcat.
