As an example, let's take Icepick broadcasting.

Start one shell in tmux in bare metal. From that shell, run:

vm create --name icepick --kernel airgap --usb --mount /tmp/icepick:/tmp/icepick
vm create --name icepick-broadcast --kernel online --mount /tmp/icepick:/tmp/icepick
vm attach-usb --hub <hub> --target icepick

This spawns two new tmux windows. The first one is named "icepick" and is running with the offline kernel, and has a USB hub attached - the hub can then become accessible from within the VM. The second one is named "icepick" and is running a network-accessible kernel. You can then run icepick workflow <whatever> broadcast on the online system, and keyfork shard recover followed by icepick workflow <whatever> transfer in the other VM, and have the entire operation done on a single system.
