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, 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.
