<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-detect-virt</command> detects execution in
a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization
technology and can distinguish full machine virtualization from
container virtualization. <filename>systemd-detect-virt</filename>
exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default,
any type of virtualization is detected, and the options
<option>--container</option> and <option>--vm</option> can be used
to limit what types of virtualization are detected.</para>
<para>When executed without <option>--quiet</option> will print a
short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The
following technologies are currently identified:</para>

<para>If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the
"innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both
machine and container virtualization are used in
conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless
<option>--vm</option> is passed).</para>
<para> Windows Subsystem for Linux is not a Linux container,
but an environment for running Linux userspace applications on
top of the Windows kernel using a Linux-compatible interface.
WSL is categorized as a container for practical purposes.
Multiple WSL environments share the same kernel and services
should generally behave like when being run in a container.</para>
<para>When executed with <option>--cvm</option>, instead of
printing the virtualization technology, it will display the
confidential virtual machine technology, if any. The
following technologies are currently identified:</para>
