NAME

       imvirt - detects several virtualizations

SYNOPSIS

       imvirt

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents briefly the imvirt script.  imvirt tries to detect if it runs on a physical
       machine or on a virtualized one. If it detects that it is a virtualized one it also  tries  to  find  out
       which virtualization technology is used.

USAGE

       imvirt  does  not  need  any arguments.  But there is at the moment a restriction if you do not call this
       script with the administrative root user, because imvirt  also  uses  dmidecode  to  determine  the  used
       virtualization  technology.  dmidecode itself needs root privileges to access /dev/mem. So on you have to
       wrap imvirt with sudo if you want to detect every virtualization technology.

SEE ALSO
