VMT(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual VMT(4)
NAME
vmt - VMware Tools driver
SYNOPSIS
vmt0 at pvbus0
DESCRIPTION
The vmt driver is a kernel level implementation of VMware Tools. VMware
Tools are intended to provide better support for operating systems
running inside virtual machines.
vmt handles shutdown and reboot requests from the host by signalling
init(8) with SIGUSR2 and SIGINT respectively. vmt will log notifications
that the guest has been suspended or resumed by the host. It also
provides access to the host machine's clock as a timedelta sensor.
vmt reports the guest's hostname and all non-loopback IP addresses to the
host.
SEE ALSO
pvbus(4), init(8), sensorsd(8), sysctl(8)
A vmwh helper program is available via packages(7).
HISTORY
The vmt driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.4.
