multipass: List all the created instances and some of their properties.
$ multipass list
try on your machine

The command "multipass list" is used to display a list of all existing virtual machines created and managed by Multipass.

Multipass is a lightweight virtual machine manager (VMM) developed by Canonical. It allows users to create, manage, and launch virtual machines on various platforms like Windows, macOS, and Linux.

When you run the "multipass list" command, it queries the Multipass VMM and retrieves information about the virtual machines that currently exist. The information typically includes the name, state (whether it is running or stopped), IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and the release or operating system of each virtual machine.

This command can be useful when you want to check the status or details of the virtual machines you have created using Multipass.
