DESCRIPTION
The vmware command displays information about the VMware product installed on your machine.
For more information, see the in-product Help and the VMware Web site at http://www.vmware.com/support.
A VMware virtual machine provides an execution environment for full, unmodified operating systems running on an x86-based computer. The host operating system runs on the real hardware. A guest operating system runs inside a virtual machine. You may install one of several different guest operating systems in each of your virtual machines, and each operating system is secure and isolated from the host machine’s operating system as well as from the other guest operating systems on the host.
