+ <para><command>systemd-detect-virt</command> detects
+ execution in a virtualized environment. It identifies
+ the virtualization technology and can distuingish full
+ VM virtualization from container
+ virtualization.</para>
+
+ <para>When executed without <option>--quiet</option>
+ will print a short identifier for the detected
+ virtualization technology. The following technologies

+ <varname>microsoft</varname>,

+
+ <para>If multiple virtualization solutions are used
+ only the "innermost" is detected and identified. That
