vboxmanage: Show information about a particular virtual machine.
$ VBoxManage showvminfo ${select}
try on your machine

The "VBoxManage showvminfo ${select}" command is used in VirtualBox to display detailed information about a specific virtual machine.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "VBoxManage" is the command-line tool provided by VirtualBox for managing virtual machines.
  • "showvminfo" is the specific command used to display information about a virtual machine.
  • "${select}" is a placeholder for the name or UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the virtual machine you want to retrieve information for. This means you need to replace "${select}" with the actual name or UUID of the virtual machine you want information about.

By running this command with the correct virtual machine name or UUID, you can obtain details like the virtual machine's name, UUID, operating system type, memory, hard disk information, network settings, etc. It provides a comprehensive overview of the virtual machine's configuration and settings.
