NAME

       systemd-detect-virt - Detect execution in a virtualized environment

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-detect-virt [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-detect-virt detects execution in a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization technology and can distinguish full VM
       virtualization from container virtualization.

       When executed without --quiet will print a short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The following technologies are
       currently identified: qemu, kvm, vmware, microsoft, oracle, xen, bochs, chroot, uml, openvz, lxc, lxc-libvirt, systemd-nspawn.

       If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the "innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both VM virtualization and
       container virtualization are used in conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless --vm is passed).

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -h, --help
	   Prints a short help text and exits.

       --version
	   Prints a short version string and exits.

       -c, --container
	   Only detects container virtualization (i.e. shared kernel virtualization).

       -v, --vm
	   Only detects VM virtualization (i.e. full hardware virtualization).

       -q, --quiet
	   Suppress output of the virtualization technology identifier.

EXIT STATUS

       If a virtualization technology is detected, 0 is returned, a non-zero code otherwise.
