The command virtualboxvm --startvm ${select} --debug-command-line is used to start a VirtualBox virtual machine with enhanced debugging information.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • virtualboxvm: This is the command-line tool for managing and running virtual machines in VirtualBox.
  • --startvm: This option is used to specify the virtual machine to start.
  • ${select}: This is a placeholder for the name or UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the virtual machine that you want to start. It should be replaced with the actual name or UUID.
  • --debug-command-line: This option enables debugging and provides additional information about how the command line is parsed and executed.

By running this command, you will start the specified virtual machine in VirtualBox while capturing debugging details about the command line for troubleshooting or analysis purposes.
