Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This little Perl script tries to detect if it is called from within a virtualization container. This is detected by looking for well known boot messages, directories and reading DMI (Desktop Management Interface) data. The following containers are detected: * Virtual PC/Virtual Server * VirtualBox * VMware * QEMU/KVM (experimental) * Xen (para and non-para virtualized) * OpenVZ/Virtuozzo * UML * any HVM providing CPUID 0x40000000 detection * lguest * ARAnyM * LXC

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
