vboxmanage: List all VirtualBox virtual machines.

VBoxManage

$ VBoxManage list vms

try on your machine

The command "VBoxManage list vms" is used to list the virtual machines that are currently managed by VirtualBox.

VirtualBox is a software virtualization tool that allows you to create and run virtual machines on your computer. These virtual machines are isolated and separate from your actual operating system, allowing you to install and run different operating systems or software within them.

When you execute the "VBoxManage list vms" command, VirtualBox's command-line interface (VBoxManage) will display the list of virtual machines that are currently registered and managed by VirtualBox. The output will typically include the names or UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) of the virtual machines, allowing you to identify and work with them using other VBoxManage commands.
