    <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>
