 uuid: the ID assigned to the virtual machine;
 name: the name assigned to the virtual machine;
 status: the current status of the virtual machine.
To display a number of parameters in a single output, they should be
separated with commas (e.g. uuid,name).

Sorts the virtual machines in the list by the specified parameter. If "-" is
given before the name of the parameter, the sorting order is reversed.

The commands are used to perform the following actions:
 prlctl pause is used to pause the specified virtual machine;
