However, a command might support several subcommands which then can be invoked in one single call. The following sections provide detailed reference information on the different commands. 8.3 VBoxManage list The list command gives relevant information about your system and information about VirtualBox’s current settings. The following subcommands are available with VBoxManage list: • vms lists all virtual machines currently registered with VirtualBox. By default this displays a compact list with each VM’s name and UUID if you also specify --long or -l, this will be a detailed list as with the showvminfo command (see below). • runningvms lists all currently running virtual machines by their unique identifiers (UUIDs) in the same format as with vms. • ostypes lists all guest operating systems presently known to VirtualBox, along with the identifiers used to refer to them with the modifyvm command. • hostdvds, hostfloppies, respectively, list DVD, floppy, bridged networking and host-only networking interfaces on the host, along with the name used to access them from within VirtualBox. 106
