The official documentation <https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#idm267> |
| 17 |
says: |

On a Linux or Solaris host, depending on your desktop |
| 20 |
environment, a "VirtualBox" item may have been placed in |
| 21 |
either the "System" or "System Tools" group of your |
| 22 |
"Applications" menu. Alternatively, you can type |
| 23 |
"VirtualBox" in a terminal. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
There is no command "VirtualBox" but only some commands |
| 26 |
named VBox* like "VBoxManage" that are symlinks to |
| 27 |
/usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBox. The command "VBoxManage" prints |
| 28 |
out >10 pages of documentation: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
# VBoxManage | wc -l |
| 31 |
590 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
No window shows up as promised. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
There is no man page. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Is there a _short_ documentation for which command to give |
| 38 |
with wich parameters? |
