Description

Detects whether the current system is running inside a virtual machine and reports facts about the virtualization environment. It is useful for scripts, diagnostics, packaging, and support checks.

This is a read-only terminal diagnostic tool. Detection can be incomplete on unusual platforms, so use results as a hint rather than a security boundary.
