Each time VBoxManage is invoked, only one command can be executed. However, a command might support several subcommands which then can be invoked in one sin- gle call. The following sections provide detailed reference information on the different commands.

8.1 VBoxManage list

The list command gives relevant information about your system and information about VirtualBox’s current settings.

The following subcommands are available with VBoxManage list:

vms lists all virtual machines currently registered with VirtualBox. By default this displays a compact list with each VM’s name and UUID; if you also specify --long or -l, this will be a detailed list as with the showvminfo command (see below).

runningvms lists all currently running virtual machines by their unique identi- fiers (UUIDs) in the same format as with vms.

hdds, dvds and floppies all give you information about virtual disk images currently registered in VirtualBox, including all their settings, the unique iden- tifiers (UUIDs) associated with them by VirtualBox and all files associated with them.

ostypes lists all guest operating systems presently known to VirtualBox, along with the identifiers used to refer to them with the modifyvm command.

hostdvds, hostfloppies and hostifs, respectively, list DVD, floppy and host networking interfaces on the host, along with the name used to access them from within VirtualBox.

hostusb supplies information about USB devices attached to the host, notably information useful for constructing USB filters and whether they are currently in use by the host.

usbfilters lists all global USB filters registered with VirtualBox – that is, filters for devices which are accessible to all virtual machines – and displays the filter parameters.
