virtualboxvm: Start a virtual machine in fullscreen mode.
$ virtualboxvm --startvm ${select} --fullscreen
try on your machine

The command "virtualboxvm --startvm ${select} --fullscreen" is used to start a VirtualBox virtual machine with the specified parameters.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "virtualboxvm" is the command that instructs the VirtualBox software to execute the following actions.
  • "--startvm" is an option flag used to specify that we want to start a virtual machine.
  • "${select}" represents a variable that holds the name or UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the virtual machine that we want to start. The actual value will be replaced when the command is executed.
  • "--fullscreen" is an option flag used to indicate that we want the virtual machine to be displayed in full-screen mode.

When the command is executed, VirtualBox will launch the specified virtual machine and display it in full-screen mode.
