NAME

6       imvirt - detects several virtualizations
7

SYNOPSIS

9       imvirt
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual page documents briefly the imvirt script.  imvirt tries to
13       detect if it runs on a physical machine or on a virtualized one. If  it
14       detects  that  it  is a virtualized one it also tries to find out which
15       virtualization technology is used.
16

USAGE

18       imvirt does not need any arguments.  But  there  is  at  the  moment  a
19       restriction if you do not call this script with the administrative root
20       user, because imvirt also uses dmidecode to determine the used virtual‐
21       ization  technology.  dmidecode itself needs root privileges to accesss
22       /dev/mem. So on you have to wrap imvirt with sudo if you want to detect
23       every virtualization technology.
