<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-detect-virt</command> detects execution in
a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization
technology and can distinguish full VM 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>

"innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both VM
virtualization and container virtualization are used in
conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless
