License     : GPLv2+
Description : virt-what is a shell script which can be used to detect if the 
program
            : is running in a virtual machine.
            :
            : The program prints out a list of "facts" about the virtual 
machine,
            : derived from heuristics.  One fact is printed per line.
            :
            : If nothing is printed and the script exits with code 0 (no error),
            : then it can mean either that the program is running on bare-metal 
or
            : the program is running inside a type of virtual machine which we 
don't
            : know about or cannot detect.
            :
            : Current types of virtualization detected:
