  <interface
     name="IVirtualBoxErrorInfo" extends="$errorinfo"
     uuid="e98b5376-8eb4-4eea-812a-3964bf3bb26f"

     >
    <desc>
      The IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface represents extended error information
      that can be set by components after unsuccessful method invocation and
      returned to the client in addition to the result code.

      In MS COM, this interface extends the IErrorInfo interface,
      in XPCOM, it extends the nsIException interface. In both cases,
      it provides a set of common attributes to retrieve error
      information.

      Sometimes invocation of some component's method may involve
      methods of other components that may also fail (independently of
      this method's failure), or a series of non-fatal errors may
      precede a fatal error that causes method failure. In cases like
      that, it may be desirable to preserve information about all errors
      happened during method invocation and deliver it to the
      caller. The <link to="#next"/> attribute is intended specifically
      for this purpose and allows to represent a chain of errors through
      a single IVirtualBoxErrorInfo instance set after method
      invocation. Note that errors are stored to a chain in the reverse
      order, i.e. the initial error object you query right after method
      invocation is the last error set by the callee, the object it
      points to in the @a next attribute is the previous error and so
      on, up to the first error (which is the last in the chain).

    <desc> The main interface exposed by the product that provides virtual
      machine management.

      An instance of IVirtualBox is required for the product to do anything
      useful. Even though the interface does not expose this, internally, IVirtualBox
      is implemented as a singleton and actually lives in the process of the
      VirtualBox server (VBoxSVC.exe). This makes sure that IVirtualBox can
      track the state of all virtual machines on a particular host, regardless
      of which frontend started them.

      To enumerate all the virtual machines on the host, use the <link to="IVirtualBox::machines" />
      attribute.</desc>

      <desc>
        A string representing the version number of the product. The

        <tt>&lt;user_dir&gt;</tt> is the path to the user directory,
        as determined by the host OS), and cannot be changed.

        New shared folders are added to the collection using

        removed using <link to="#removeSharedFolder"/>.

        <note>
          In the current version of the product, global shared folders are not

    </attribute>

    <method name="createMachine">
      <desc>
        Creates a new virtual machine.

        Every machine has a <i>settings file</i> that is used to store
        the machine configuration. This file is stored in the directory
        called <i>machine settings subfolder</i>. Both the subfolder
        and the settings file have the same name that corresponds to the
        name of the virtual machine. You can specify where
        to create the machine settings subfolder using the @a
        baseFolder argument. The base folder can be absolute (full path)
        or relative to the <link to="IVirtualBox::homeFolder">
          VirtualBox home directory</link>.

        If a null or empty string is given as the base folder (which is
        recommended), the <link to="ISystemProperties::defaultMachineFolder">
          default machine settings folder</link> will be used as the base
        folder to create the machine settings subfolder and file. In
        any case, the full path to the settings file will look like:
        <pre>
          &lt;base_folder&gt;/&lt;machine_name&gt;/&lt;machine_name&gt;.xml</pre>

        Optionally the UUID of the machine can be predefined. If this is
        not desired (i.e. a new UUID should be generated), pass just an
        empty or null UUID.

        Note that the configuration of the newly created machine is not
        saved to disk (and therefore no settings subfolder and file are
        created) until <link to="IMachine::saveSettings()"/> is called.

        You should also specify a valid name for the machine.
        See the <link to="IMachine::name"/> property
        description for more details about the machine name.

        The created machine remains
        unregistered until you call <link to="#registerMachine()"/>.

        <note>
          There is no way to change the name of the settings file or
          subfolder of the created machine directly.

    <method name="createLegacyMachine">
      <desc>
        Creates a new virtual machine in "legacy" mode, using the
        specified settings file to store machine settings.

        As opposed to machines created by <link to="#createMachine()"/>,
        the settings file of the machine created in "legacy" mode
        is not automatically renamed when the machine name is
        changed -- it will always remain the same as specified in this
        method call.

        The specified settings file name can be absolute
        (full path) or relative to the <link to="IVirtualBox::homeFolder">
          VirtualBox home directory</link>. If the file name doesn't
        contain an extension, the default extension (.xml) will be
        appended.

        Optionally the UUID of the machine can be predefined. If this is
        not desired (i.e. a new UUID should be generated), pass just an
        empty or null UUID.

        Note that the configuration of the newly created machine is not
        saved to disk (and therefore no settings file is created)
        until <link to="IMachine::saveSettings()"/> is called. If the
        specified settings file already exists,
        <link to="IMachine::saveSettings()"/> will return an error.

        You should also specify a valid name for the machine.
        See the <link to="IMachine::name"/> property
        description for more details about the machine name.

        The created machine remains
        unregistered until you call <link to="#registerMachine()"/>.

        @deprecated This method may be removed later. It is better
        to use <link to="IVirtualBox::createMachine()"/>.

    <method name="createHardDisk">

        Creates a new unregistered hard disk that will use the given
        storage type.

        Most properties of the created hard disk object are
        uninitialized. Valid values must be assigned to them (and probalby
        some actions performed) to make the actual usage of this hard disk
        (<link to="#registerHardDisk()">register</link>, attach to a virtual
        machine, etc.). See the description of <link to="IHardDisk"/> and
        descriptions of storage type specific interfaces for more information.

        <note>
          For hard disks using
          the <link
          to="HardDiskStorageType::VirtualDiskImage">VirtualDiskImage</link>

    <method name="openHardDisk">
      <desc>

        Opens a hard disk from an existing location.

        This method tries to guess the
        <link to="HardDiskStorageType">hard disk storage type</link> from the
        format of the location string and from the contens of the resource the
        location points to. Currently, a <i>file path</i> is the only
        supported format for the location string which must point to either a
        VDI file or to a VMDK file. On success, an IHardDisk object will be
        returned that also implements the corresponding interface
        (IVirtualDiskImage or IVMDKImage, respectively). The
        <link to="IHardDisk::storageType"/> property may also be used to
        determine the storage type of the returned object (instead of trying
        to query one of these interfaces).

        <note>
          The specified file path can be absolute (full path) or relative to
          the <link to="IVirtualBox::homeFolder">VirtualBox home

          the <link to="ISystemProperties::defaultVDIFolder"> default VDI
          folder</link> will be used as a path to the image file.
        </note>

        The opened hard disk remains unregistered
        until <link to="#registerHardDisk()"/> is called.

    <method name="openRemoteSession">
      <desc>
        Opens a new remote session with the given virtual
        machine.

        Opening a remote session causes the VirtualBox server to start a new
        process that opens a direct session with the given VM.  The remote
        session provides some level of control over the VM execution to the
        caller (using the IConsole interface); however, within the remote
        session context, not all VM settings are available for modification.

        This operation can take some time, so the progress object
        is returned to let the caller be informed when the session is
        actually open. Until then, the remote session object remains in
        the closed state and accessing the machine or its console through
        it is invalid.

        Currently supported session types (values of the @a type
        argument) are:
        <ul>
          <li><tt>gui</tt>: VirtualBox Qt GUI session</li>
          <li><tt>vrdp</tt>: VirtualBox VRDP Server session</li>
        </ul>

        The @a environment argument is a string containing definitions of
        environment variables in the following format:
        @code
          NAME[=VALUE]\n
          NAME[=VALUE]\n
          ...
        @endcode
        where <tt>\\n</tt> is the new line character. These environment
        variables will be appended to the environment of the VirtualBox server
        process. If an environment variable exists both in the server process
        and in this list, the value from this list takes precedence over the
        server's variable. If the value of the environment variable is
        omitted, this variable will be removed from the resulting environment.
        If the environment string is @c null, the server environment is
        inherited by the started process as is.

        <note>
          It is an error to open a remote session with the machine
          that already has an open direct session or waits until the
          previous request to open the remote session is completed
          (see <link to="IMachine::sessionState"/>).
        </note>

        <note>
          The opened @a session will be automatically closed when
          the corresponding direct session dies or gets closed.

    <method name="waitForPropertyChange">
      <desc>
        Blocks the caller until any of the properties represented by the @a
        what argument changes the value or until the given timeout interval
        expires.

        The @a what argument is a comma separated list of propertiy masks that
        describe properties the caller is interested in. The property mask is
        a string in the following format:

        @code
        [[group.]subgroup.]name
        @endcode

        where @c name is the property name and @c group, @c subgroup are zero
        or or more property group specifiers. Each element (group or name) in
        the property mask may be either a latin string or an asterisk symbol
        (@c "*") which is used to match any string for the given element. A
        property mask that doesn't contain asterisk symbols represents a
        single fully qualified property name.

        Groups in the fully qualified property name go from more generic (the
        left-most part) to more specific (the right-most part). The first
        element is usually a name of the object the property belongs to.  The
        second element may be either a property name, or a child object name,
        or an index if the preceeding element names an object which is one of
        many objects of the same type. This way, property names form a
        hierarchy of properties.  Here are some examples of property names:

        <table>
          <tr>
            <td><tt>VirtualBox.version</tt></td>
            <td><link to="IVirtualBox::version"/> property</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td><tt>Machine.&lt;UUID&gt;.name</tt></td>
            <td><link to="IMachine::name"/> property of the machine with the
            given UUID</td>
            </tr>
        </table>

        Most property names directly correspond to the properties of objects
        (components) provided by the VirtualBox library and may be used to
        track changes to these properties. However, there may be
        pseudo-property names that don't correspond to any existing object's
        property directly, as well as there may be object properties that
        don't have a corresponding property name that is understood by this
        method, and therefore changes to such properties cannot be
        tracked. See individual object's property descrcriptions to get a
        fully qualified property name that can be used with this method (if
        any).

        There is a special property mask @c "*" (i.e. a string consisting of a
        single asterisk symbol) that can be used to match all properties.
        Below are more examples of property masks:

        <table>
          <tr>
            <td><tt>VirtualBox.*</tt></td>
            <td>Track all properties of the VirtualBox object</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td><tt>Machine.*.name</tt></td>
            <td>Track changes to the <link to="IMachine::name"/> property of
            all registered virtual machines</td>
          </tr>

    <attribute name="accessible" type="boolean" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Whether this virtual machine is currently accessible or not.

        The machine is considered to be inaccessible when:
        <ul>
          <li>It is a registered virtual machine, and
          </li>
          <li>Its settings file is inaccessible (for example, it is
            located on a network share that is not accessible during
            VirtualBox startup, or becomes inaccessible later, or if
            the settings file can be read but is invalid).
          </li>
        </ul>

        Otherwise, the value of this property is always <tt>true</tt>.

        Every time this property is read, the accessibility state of
        this machine is re-evaluated. If the returned value is |false|,
        the <link to="#accessError"/> property may be used to get the
        detailed error information describing the reason of
        inaccessibility.

        When the machine is inaccessible, only the following properties
        can be used on it:
        <ul>
          <li><link to="#parent"/></li>
          <li><link to="#id"/></li>
          <li><link to="#settingsFilePath"/></li>
          <li><link to="#accessible"/></li>
          <li><link to="#accessError"/></li>
        </ul>

        An attempt to access any other property or method will return
        an error.

        The only possible action you can perform on an inaccessible
        machine is to unregister it using the
        <link to="IVirtualBox::unregisterMachine"/> call (or, to check
        for the accessibility state once more by querying this
        property).

        <note>
          In the current implementation, once this property returns
          <tt>true</tt>, the machine will never become inaccessible
          later, even if its settings file cannot be successfully
          read/written any more (at least, until the VirtualBox
          server is restarted). This limitation may be removed in
          future releases.

    <attribute name="accessError" type="IVirtualBoxErrorInfo" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Error information describing the reason of machine
        inaccessibility.

        Reading this property is only valid after the last call to
        <link to="#accessible"/> returned <tt>false</tt> (i.e. the
        machine is currently unaccessible). Otherwise, a null
        IVirtualBoxErrorInfo object will be returned.

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="name" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Name of the virtual machine.

        Besides being used for human-readable identification purposes
        everywhere in VirtualBox, the virtual machine name is also used
        as a name of the machine's settings file and as a name of the
        subdirectory this settings file resides in. Thus, every time you
        change the value of this property, the settings file will be
        renamed once you call <link to="#saveSettings()"/> to confirm the
        change. The containing subdirectory will be also renamed, but
        only if it has exactly the same name as the settings file
        itself prior to changing this property (for backward compatibility
        with previous API releases). The above implies the following
        limitations:
        <ul>
          <li>The machine name cannot be empty.</li>
          <li>The machine name can contain only characters that are valid
            file name characters according to the rules of the file
            system used to store VirtualBox configuration.</li>
          <li>You cannot have two or more machines with the same name
            if they use the same subdirectory for storing the machine
            settings files.</li>
          <li>You cannot change the name of the machine if it is running,
            or if any file in the directory containing the settings file
            is being used by another running machine or by any other
            process in the host operating system at a time when
            <link to="#saveSettings()"/> is called.
          </li>
        </ul>
        If any of the above limitations are hit, <link to="#saveSettings()"/>
        will return an appropriate error message explaining the exact
        reason and the changes you made to this machine will not be
        saved.
        <note>
          For "legacy" machines created using the
          <link to="IVirtualBox::createLegacyMachine()"/> call,
          the above naming limitations do not apply because the
          machine name does not affect the settings file name.
          The settings file name remains the same as it was specified
          during machine creation and never changes.

        See <link to="IHardDisk"/> for detailed information about
        attaching hard disks.

        <note>You cannot detach a hard disk from a running
          machine.</note>

        <note>
          Detaching a hard disk from a machine creates a <i>lazy</i>
          detachment. In particular, if the detached hard disk is a
          differencing hard disk, it is not actually deleted until
          <link to="#saveSettings"/> is called to commit all changed settings.
          Keep in mind, that doing <link to="#saveSettings"/> will
          <b>physically delete</b> all detached differencing hard disks,
          so be careful.

        <desc>
          Address of the shape buffer.

          The buffer contains 1 bpp (bits per pixel) AND mask followed by 32 bpp XOR (color) mask.

          For pointers without alpha channel the XOR mask pixels are 32 bit values: (lsb)BGR0(msb).
          For pointers with alpha channel the XOR mask consists of (lsb)BGRA(msb) 32 bit values.

          AND mask presents for pointers with alpha channel, so if the callback does not
          support alpha, the pointer could be displayed as a normal color pointer.

          The AND mask is 1 bpp bitmap with byte aligned scanlines. Size of AND mask,
          therefore, is <tt>cbAnd = (width + 7) / 8 * height</tt>. The padding bits at the
          end of any scanline are undefined.

          The XOR mask follows the AND mask on the next 4 bytes aligned offset:
          <tt>uint8_t *pXor = pAnd + (cbAnd + 3) &amp; ~3</tt>
          Bytes in the gap between the AND and the XOR mask are undefined.
          XOR mask scanlines have no gap between them and size of XOR mask is:
          <tt>cXor = width * 4 * height</tt>.

        value of the @a id parameter) that offers several actions such
        as <i>Retry</i>, <i>Save</i> or <i>Power Off</i>. If the user
        wants to retry, the notification handler should continue
        the machine execution using the <link to="IConsole::resume()"/>
        call. If the machine execution is not Paused during this
        notification, then it means this notification is a <i>warning</i>
        (for example, about a fatal condition that can happen very soon);
        no immediate action is required from the user, the machine
        continues its normal execution.

        Note that in either case the notification handler
        <b>must not</b> perform any action directly on a thread
        where this notification is called. Everything it is allowed to
        do is to post a message to another thread that will then talk
        to the user and take the corresponding action.

        Currently, the following error identificators are known:
        <ul>
          <li><tt>"HostMemoryLow"</tt></li>
          <li><tt>"HostAudioNotResponding"</tt></li>
          <li><tt>"VDIStorageFull"</tt></li>

        Notification when a call to
        <link to="IMachine::showConsoleWindow()"/>
        requests the console window to be activated and brought to
        foreground on the desktop of the host PC.

        This notification should cause the VM console process to
        perform the requested action as described above. If it is
        impossible to do it at a time of this notification, this
        method should return a failure.

        Note that many modern window managers on many platforms
        implement some sort of focus stealing prevention logic, so
        that it may be impossible to activate a window without the
        help of the currently active application (which is supposedly
        an initiator of this notification). In this case, this method
        must return a non-zero identifier that represents the
        top-level window of the VM console process. The caller, if it
        represents a currently active process, is responsible to use
        this identifier (in a platform-dependent manner) to perform
        actual window activation.

        This method must set @a winId to zero if it has performed all
        actions necessary to complete the request and the console
        window is now active and in foreground, to indicate that no
        further action is required on the caller's side.

        After this operation completes, the machine will go to the
        Saved state. Next time it is powered up, this state will
        be restored and the machine will continue its execution from
        the place where it was saved.

        This operation differs from taking a snapshot to the effect
        that it doesn't create new differencing hard disks. Also, once
        the machine is powered up from the state saved using this method,
        the saved state is deleted, so it will be impossible to return
        to this state later.

        <note>
          On success, this method implicitly calls
          <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/> to save all current machine
          settings (including runtime changes to the DVD drive, etc.).
          Together with the impossibility to change any VM settings when it is

        Starts discarding the specified snapshot. The execution state

        will be deleted. The contents of all differencing hard disks of
        this snapshot will be merged with the contents of their
        dependent child hard disks to keep the, disks valid (in other
        words, all changes represented by hard disks being discarded
        will be propagated to their child hard disks). After that, this
        snapshot's differencing hard disks will be deleted. The parent
        of this snapshot will become a new parent for all its child
        snapshots.

        If the discarded snapshot is the current one, its parent
        snapshot will become a new current snapshot. The current machine
        state is not directly affected in this case, except that
        currently attached differencing hard disks based on hard disks
        of the discarded snapshot will be also merged as described
        above.

        If the discarded snapshot is the first one (the root snapshot)
        and it has exactly one child snapshot, this child snapshot will
        become the first snapshot after discarding. If there are no
        children at all (i.e. the first snapshot is the only snapshot of
        the machine), both the current and the first snapshot of the
        machine will be set to null. In all other cases, the first
        snapshot cannot be discarded.

        You cannot discard the snapshot if it
        stores <link to="HardDiskType::NormalHardDisk">normal</link>
        (non-differencing) hard disks that have differencing hard disks based
        on them. Snapshots of such kind can be discarded only when every
        normal hard disk has either no children at all or exactly one
        child. In the former case, the normal hard disk simply becomes unused
        (i.e. not attached to any VM). In the latter case, it receives all the
        changes strored in the child hard disk, and then it replaces the child
        hard disk in the configuration of the corresponding snapshot or
        machine.

        Also, you cannot discard the snapshot if it stores hard disks
        (of any type) having differencing child hard disks that belong
        to other machines. Such snapshots can be only discarded after
        you discard all snapshots of other machines containing "foreign"
        child disks, or detach these "foreign" child disks from machines
        they are attached to.

        One particular example of the snapshot storing normal hard disks
        is the first snapshot of a virtual machine that had normal hard
        disks attached when taking the snapshot. Be careful when
        discarding such snapshots because this implicitly commits
        changes (made since the snapshot being discarded has been taken)
        to normal hard disks (as described above), which may be not what
        you want.

        The virtual machine is put to
        the <link to="MachineState::Discarding">Discarding</link> state until
        the discard operation is completed.

        <note>
          The machine must not be running, otherwise the operation
          will fail.
        </note>

        <note>
          Child hard disks of all normal hard disks of the discarded snapshot
          must be <link to="IHardDisk::accessible">accessible</link> for this
          operation to succeed.  In particular, this means that all virtual
          machines, whose hard disks are directly or indirectly based on the
          hard disks of discarded snapshot, must be powered off.
        </note>
        <note>
          Merging hard disk contents can be very time and disk space
          consuming, if these disks are big in size and have many
          children. However, if the snapshot being discarded is the last
          (head) snapshot on the branch, the operation will be rather
          quick.
        </note>
        <note>
          Note that discarding the current snapshot
          will imlicitly call <link to="IMachine::saveSettings()"/> to
          make all current machine settings permanent.

    <method name="discardCurrentState">
      <desc>
        This operation is similar to <link to="#discardSnapshot()"/> but
        affects the current machine state. This means that the state stored in
        the current snapshot will become a new current state, and all current
        settings of the machine and changes stored in differencing hard disks
        will be lost.

        After this operation is successfully completed, new empty differencing
        hard disks are created for all normal hard disks of the machine.

        If the current snapshot of the machine is an online snapshot, the
        machine will go to the <link to="MachineState::Saved"> saved
        state</link>, so that the next time it is powered on, the execution
        state will be restored from the current snapshot.

        <note>
          The machine must not be running, otherwise the operation will fail.
        </note>

        <note>
          If the machine state is <link to="MachineState::Saved">Saved</link>
          prior to this operation, the saved state file will be implicitly
          discarded (as if <link to="IConsole::discardSavedState()"/> were
          called).

    <method name="discardCurrentSnapshotAndState">
      <desc>

        This method is equivalent to
        doing <link to="#discardSnapshot">discardSnapshot</link>
        (<link
        to="IMachine::currentSnapshot">currentSnapshot</link>.<link
        to="ISnapshot::id">id()</link>, ...) followed by
        <link to="#discardCurrentState()"/>.

        As a result, the machine will be fully restored from the
        snapshot preceeding the current snapshot, while both the current
        snapshot and the current machine state will be discarded.

        If the current snapshot is the first snapshot of the machine (i.e. it
        has the only snapshot), the current machine state will be
        discarded <b>before</b> discarding the snapshot. In other words, the
        machine will be restored from its last snapshot, before discarding
        it. This differs from performing a single
        <link to="#discardSnapshot()"/> call (note that no
        <link to="#discardCurrentState()"/> will be possible after it) to the
        effect that the latter will preserve the current state instead of
        discarding it.

        Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, all remarks and
        limitations of the above two methods also apply to this method.

        <note>
          The machine must not be running, otherwise the operation
          will fail.
        </note>

        <note>
          If the machine state is <link to="MachineState::Saved">Saved</link>
          prior to this operation, the saved state file will be implicitly
          discarded (as if <link to="IConsole::discardSavedState()"/> were
          called).</note>

        <note>
          This method is more efficient than calling two above
          methods separately: it requires less IPC calls and provides
          a single progress object.

     >
    <desc>
      The ISnapshot interface represents a snapshot of the virtual
      machine.

      The <i>snapshot</i> stores all the information about a virtual
      machine necessary to bring it to exactly the same state as it was at
      the time of taking the snapshot. The snapshot includes:

      <ul>
        <li>all settings of the virtual machine (i.e. its hardware
          configuration: RAM size, attached hard disks, etc.)
        </li>
        <li>the execution state of the virtual machine (memory contents,
          CPU state, etc.).
        </li>
      </ul>

      Snapshots can be <i>offline</i> (taken when the VM is powered off)
      or <i>online</i> (taken when the VM is running). The execution
      state of the offline snapshot is called a <i>zero execution state</i>
      (it doesn't actually contain any information about memory contents
      or the CPU state, assuming that all hardware is just powered off).

      <h3>Snapshot branches</h3>

      Snapshots can be chained. Chained snapshots form a branch where
      every next snapshot is based on the previous one. This chaining is
      mostly related to hard disk branching (see <link to="IHardDisk"/>
      description). This means that every time a new snapshot is created,
      a new differencing hard disk is implicitly created for all normal
      hard disks attached to the given virtual machine. This allows to
      fully restore hard disk contents when the machine is later reverted
      to a particular snapshot.

      In the current implelemtation, multiple snapshot branches within one
      virtual machine are not allowed. Every machine has a signle branch,
      and <link to="IConsole::takeSnapshot()"/> operation adds a new
      snapshot to the top of that branch.

      Existings snapshots can be discarded using
      <link to="IConsole::discardSnapshot()"/>.

      <h3>Current snapshot</h3>

      Every virtual machine has a current snapshot, identified by
      <link to="IMachine::currentSnapshot"/>. This snapshot is used as
      a base for the <i>current machine state</i> (see below), to the effect
      that all normal hard disks of the machine and its execution
      state are based on this snapshot.

      In the current implementation, the current snapshot is always the
      last taken snapshot (i.e. the head snapshot on the branch) and it
      cannot be changed.

      The current snapshot is <tt>null</tt> if the machine doesn't have
      snapshots at all; in this case the current machine state is just
      current settings of this machine plus its current execution state.

      <h3>Current machine state</h3>

      The current machine state is what represened by IMachine instances got
      directly from IVirtualBox
      using <link
      to="IVirtualBox::getMachine()">getMachine()</link>, <link
      to="IVirtualBox::findMachine()">findMachine()</link>, etc. (as opposed
      to instances returned by <link to="ISnapshot::machine"/>).  This state
      is always used when the machine is <link to="IConsole::powerUp"> powered
      on</link>.

      The current machine state also includes the current execution state.
      If the machine is being currently executed
      (<link to="IMachine::state"/> is <link to="MachineState::Running"/>
      and above), its execution state is just what's happening now.
      If it is powered off (<link to="MachineState::PoweredOff"/> or
      <link to="MachineState::Aborted"/>), it has a zero execution state.
      If the machine is saved (<link to="MachineState::Saved"/>), its
      execution state is what saved in the execution state file
      (<link to="IMachine::stateFilePath"/>).

      If the machine is in the saved state, then, next time it is powered
      on, its execution state will be fully restored from the saved state
      file and the execution will continue from the point where the state
      was saved.

      Similarly to snapshots, the current machine state can be discarded
      using <link to="IConsole::discardCurrentState()"/>.

      <h3>Taking and discarding snapshots</h3>

      The table below briefly explains the meaning of every snapshot
      operation:

      <table>
        <tr><th>Operation</th><th>Meaning</th><th>Remarks</th></tr>

        <tr><td><link to="IConsole::takeSnapshot()"/></td>

            settings, contents of normal hard disks and the current modifications
            to immutable hard disks (for online snapshots)</td>

          <td>The current state is not changed (the machine will continue
            execution if it is being executed when the snapshot is
            taken)</td></tr>

        <tr><td><link to="IConsole::discardSnapshot()"/></td>

          <td>Forget the state of the virtual machine stored in the snapshot:

      The IHardDisk interface represents a virtual hard disk drive
      used by virtual machines.

      The virtual hard disk drive virtualizes the hard disk hardware and
      looks like a regular hard disk inside the virtual machine and
      the guest OS.

      <h3>Storage Types</h3>

      The <link to="HardDiskStorageType">storage type</link> of the
      virtual hard disk determines where and how it stores its data
      (sectors). Currently, the following storage types are supported:

      <ul>

        <li>
          <i>Virtual Disk Image (VDI)</i>, a regular file in the file system
          of the host OS (represented by the <link to="IVirtualDiskImage"/>
          interface). This file has a special format optimized so that unused
          sectors of data occupy much less space than on a physical hard disk.
        </li>

        <li>
          <i>iSCSI Remote Disk</i>, a disk accessed via the Internet SCSI
          protocol over a TCP/IP network link (represented by the
          <link to="IISCSIHardDisk"/> interface).
        </li>

        <li>
          <i>VMware VMDK Image</i>, a regular file in the file system of the
          host OS (represented by the <link to="IVMDKImage"/> interface).
        </li>

        <li>
          <i>Custom HardDisk</i>, a disk accessed via a plugin which is loaded
          when the disk is accessed (represented by the
          <link to="ICustomHardDisk"/> interface).
        </li>

      </ul>

      The storage type of the particular hard disk object is indicated by
      the <link to="#storageType"/> property.

      Each storage type is represented by its own interface (as shown
      above), that allows to query and set properties and perform
      operations specific to that storage type. When an IHardDisk object
      reports it uses some particular storage type, it also guaranteed to
      support the corresponding interface which you can query. And vice
      versa, every object that supports a storage-specific interface, also
      supports IHardDisk.

      <h3>Virtual Hard Disk Types</h3>

      The <link to="HardDiskType">type</link> of the virtual hard disk
      determines how it is attached to the virtual machine when you call
      <link to="IMachine::attachHardDisk()"/> and what happens to it when
      a <link to="ISnapshot">snapshot</link> of the virtual machine is
      taken.

      There are three types of virtual hard disks:

      <ul>
        <li><i>Normal</i></li>
        <li><i>Immutable</i></li>
        <li><i>Writethrough</i></li>
      </ul>

      The virtual disk type is indicated by the <link to="#type"/>
      property. Each of the above types is described in detail further
      down.

      There is also a forth, "hidden" virtual disk type:
      <i>Differencing</i>. It is "hidden" because you cannot directly
      create hard disks of this type -- they are automatically created by
      VirtualBox when necessary.

      <b>Differencing Hard Disks</b>

      Unlike disks of other types (that are similar to real hard disks),
      the differencing hard disk does not store the full range of data
      sectors. Instead, it stores only a subset of sectors of some other
      disk that were changed since the differencing hard disk has been
      created. Thus, every differencing hard disk has a parent hard disk
      it is linked to, and represents the difference between the initial
      and the current hard disk state. A differencing hard disk can be
      linked to another differencing hard disk -- this way, differencing
      hard disks can form a branch of changes. More over, a given virtual
      hard disk can have more than one differencing hard disk linked to
      it.

      A disk the differencing hard disk is linked to (or, in other words,
      based on) is called a <i>parent</i> hard disk and is accessible through
      the <link to="#parent"/> property. Similarly, all existing differencing
      hard disks for a given parent hard disk are called its <i>child</i> hard
      disks (and accessible through the <link to="#children"/> property).

      All differencing hard disks use Virtual Disk Image files to store
      changed sectors. They have the <link to="#type"/> property set to
      Normal, but can be easily distinguished from normal hard disks using
      the <link to="#parent"/> property: all differencing hard disks have
      a parent, while all normal hard disks don't.

      When the virtual machine makes an attempt to read a sector that is
      missing in a differencing hard disk, its parent is accessed to
      resolve the sector in question. This process continues until the
      sector is found, or until the root hard disk is encountered, which
      always contains all sectors. As a consequence,

      <ul>

        <li>
          The virtual hard disk geometry seen by the guest OS is
          always defined by the root hard disk.
        </li>

        <li>
          All hard disks on a branch, up to the root, must be
          <link to="#accessible"/> for a given differencing hard disk in order
          to let it function properly when the virtual machine is
          running.
        </li>

      </ul>

      Differencing hard disks can be implicitly created by VirtualBox in
      the following cases:

      <ul>

        <li>
          When a hard disk is <i>indirectly</i> attached to the virtual
          machine using <link to="IMachine::attachHardDisk()"/>.  In this
          case, all disk writes performed by the guest OS will go to the
          created diffferencing hard disk, as opposed to the
          <i>direct</i> attachment, where all changes are written to the
          attached hard disk itself.
        </li>

        <li>
          When a <link to="ISnapshot">snapshot</link> of the virtual machine
          is taken. After that, disk writes to hard disks the differencing
          ones have been created for, will be directed to those differencing
          hard disks, to preserve the contents of the original disks.
        </li>

      </ul>

      Whether to create a differencing hard disk or not depends on the
      type of the hard disk attached to the virtual machine. This is
      explained below.

      Note that in the current implementation, only the
      <link to="VirtualDiskImage"/> storage type is used to
      represent differencing hard disks. In other words, all
      differencing hard disks are <link to="IVirtualDiskImage"/>
      objects.

      <b>Normal Hard Disks</b>

      Normal hard disks are the most commonly used virtual hard disk. A
      normal hard disk is attached to the machine directly if it is not
      already attached to some other machine. Otherwise, an attempt to
      make an indirect attachment through a differencing hard disk will be
      made. This attempt will fail if the hard disk is attached to a
      virtual machine without snapshots (because it's impossible to create
      a differencing hard disk based on a hard disk that is subject to
      change).

      When an indirect attachment takes place, in the simplest case, where
      the machine the hard disk is being attached to doesn't have
      snapshots, the differencing hard disk will be based on the normal
      hard disk being attached. Otherwise, the first (i.e. the most
      recent) descendant of the given normal hard disk found in the
      current snapshot branch (starting from the current snapshot and
      going up to the root) will be actually used as a base.

      Note that when you detach an indirectly attached hard disk from the
      machine, the created differencing hard disk image is simply
      <b>deleted</b>, so <b>all changes are lost</b>. If you attach the
      same disk again, a clean differencing disk will be created based on
      the most recent child, as described above.

      When taking a snapshot, the contents of all normal hard disks (and
      all differencing disks whose roots are normal hard disks) currently
      attached to the virtual machine is preserved by creating
      differencing hard disks based on them.

      <b>Immutable Hard Disks</b>

      Immutable hard disks can be used to provide a sort of read-only
      access. An immutable hard disk is always attached indirectly. The
      created differencing hard disk is automatically wiped out (recreated
      from scratch) every time you power off the virtual machine. Thus,
      the contents of the immutable disk remains unchanged between runs.

      Detaching an immutable hard disk deletes the differencing disk
      created for it, with the same effect as in case with normal hard
      disks.

      When taking a snapshot, the differencing part of the immutable
      hard disk is cloned (i.e. copied to a separate Virtual Disk Image
      file) without any changes. This is necessary to preserve the exact
      virtual machine state when you create an online snapshot.

      <b>Writethrough Hard Disks</b>

      Hard disks of this type are always attached directly. This means
      that every given writethrough hard disk can be attached only to one
      virtual machine at a time.

      It is impossible to take a snapshot of a virtual machine with the
      writethrough hard disk attached, because taking a snapshot implies
      saving the execution state and preserving the contents of all hard
      disks, but writethrough hard disks cannot be preserved. Preserving
      hard disk contents is necessary to ensure the guest OS stored in the
      snapshot will get the same hard disk state when restored, which is
      especially important when it has open file handles or when there are
      cached files and directories stored in memory.

      <h3>Creating, Opening and Registering Hard Disks</h3>

      Non-differencing hard disks are either created from scratch using
      <link to="IVirtualBox::createHardDisk()"/> or opened from a VDI file
      using <link to="IVirtualBox::openVirtualDiskImage()"/> (only for hard
      disks using the VirtualDiskImage storage type). Once a hard disk is
      created or opened, it needs to be registered using
      <link to="IVirtualBox::registerHardDisk()"/> to make it available for
      attaching to virtual machines. See the documentation of individual
      interfaces for various storage types to get more information.

      Differencing hard disks are never created explicitly and cannot
      be registered or unregistered; they are automatically registered
      upon creation and deregistered when deleted.

      <h3>More about Indirect Hard Disk Attachments</h3>

      Normally, when you attach a hard disk to the virtual machine, and then
      query the corresponding attachment using
      <link to="IMachine::getHardDisk()"/> or
      <link to="IMachine::hardDiskAttachments"/> you will get the same hard
      disk object, whose UUID you passed earlier to
      <link to="IMachine::attachHardDisk()"/>. However, when an indirect
      attachment takes place, calling <link to="IMachine::getHardDisk()"/>
      will return a differencing hard disk object, that is either based on the
      attached hard disk or on another differencing hard disk, the attached
      hard disk is eventually a root for (as described above). In both cases
      the returned hard disk object is the object the virtual machine actually
      uses to perform disk writes to.

      Regardless of whether the attachment is direct or indirect, the
      <link to="#machineId"/> property of the attached disk will contain an
      UUID of the machine object <link to="IMachine::attachHardDisk()"/>
      has been called on.

      Note that both <link to="IMachine::attachHardDisk()"/> and
      <link to="IMachine::detachHardDisk()"/> are <i>lazy</i> operations. In
      particular, this means that when an indirect attachment is made,
      differencing hard disks are not created until machine settings are
      committed using <link to="IMachine::saveSettings()"/>. Similarly, when a
      differencing hard disk is detached, it is not deleted until
      <link to="IMachine::saveSettings()"/> is called. Calling
      <link to="IMachine::discardSettings()"/> cancels all lazy attachments or
      detachments made since the last commit and effectively restores the
      previous set of hard disks.

      <h3>Hard Disk Accessibility</h3>

      The <link to="#accessible"/> attribute of the hard disk object
      defines the accessibility state of the respective hard disk storage
      (for example, the VDI file for IVirtualDiskImage objects). If the
      value of this attribute is <tt>false</tt> then some hard disk
      attributes may contain invalid or outdated values (for example, the
      virtual or the actual hard disk size) until a new accessibility
      check is done that returns <tt>true</tt> (see the attribute
      description for more details).

      <note>
        Because of the possible slowness of the accessibility check,
        it is not implicitly performed upon the VirtualBox server startup
        (to prevent the application freeze). In partcular, this means that
        if you try to read hard disk properties that depend on the
        accessibility state without first reading the value of the
        <link to="#accessible"/> attribute and ensuring it's value is
        <tt>true</tt>, you will get wrong (zero) values.
      </note>

    </desc>

    <attribute name="id" type="uuid" readonly="yes">

        UUID of the hard disk. For newly created hard disk objects,

          Also, you cannot assign it a new value in this case.</note>

    <attribute name="storageType" type="HardDiskStorageType" readonly="yes">

    <attribute name="children" type="IHardDiskCollection" readonly="yes">

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="root" type="IHardDisk" readonly="yes">
      <desc>

        Root hard disk of this hard disk. If this hard disk is a
        differencing hard disk, its root hard disk is the first disk on
        the branch. For all other types of hard disks, this property
        returns the hard disk object itself (i.e. the same object you
        read this property on).

      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="accessible" type="boolean" readonly="yes">
      <desc>

        Whether the hard disk storage is currently accessible or not.
        The storage, for example, can be unaccessible if it doesn't exist
        or if it is placed on a network resource that is not available
        by the time this attribute is read.

        In the current implementation, the value of this property is
        also <tt>false</tt> if this hard disk is attached to a running
        virtual machine.

        The accessibility check is performed automatically every time
        this attribute is read. You should keep it in mind that this check
        may be slow and can block the calling thread for a long time (for
        example, if the network resourse where the hard disk storage is
        located is down).

        The following attributes of the hard disk object are considered
        to be invalid when this attribute is <tt>false</tt>:
        <ul>
          <li><link to="#size"/></li>
          <li><link to="#actualSize"/></li>

        not.

        This property makes sense only for differencing hard disks. For

        Logical size of this hard disk (in megabytes), as reported to the

      The IVirtualDiskImage interface represents <link to="IHardDisk">virtual
      hard disks</link> that use virtual disk image files to store hard disk
      data.

      Hard disks using virtual disk images can be either opened using

      scratch using <link to="IVirtualBox::createHardDisk()"/>.

      Objects that support this interface also support the
      <link to="IHardDisk"/> interface.

      When a new hard disk object is created from scatch, an image file for it
      is not automatically created. To do it, you need to specify a
      valid <link to="#filePath">file path</link>, and call
      <link to="#createFixedImage()"/> or <link to="#createDynamicImage()"/>.
      When it is done, the hard disk object can be registered by calling
      <link to="IVirtualBox::registerHardDisk()"/> and then
      <link to="IMachine::attachHardDisk()">attached</link> to
      virtual machines.

      The <link to="IHardDisk::description">description</link> of the
      Virtual Disk Image is stored in the image file. For this reason,
      changing the value of this property requires the hard disk to be

      The <link to="#accessible"/> attribute of the image object
      defines the accessibility state of the image file. If the

      the image file size) until a new accessibility

        Requests a size and pixel format change.

        There are two modes of working with the video buffer of the virtual
        machine. The <i>indirect</i> mode implies that the IFramebuffer
        implementation allocates a memory buffer for the requested display mode
        and provides it to the virtual machine. In <i>direct</i> mode, the
        IFramebuffer implementation uses the memory buffer allocated and owned
        by the virtual machine. This buffer represents the video memory of the
        emulated video adapter (so called <i>guest VRAM</i>). The direct mode is
        usually faster because the implementation gets a raw pointer to the
        guest VRAM buffer which it can directly use for visualising the contents
        of the virtual display, as opposed to the indirect mode where the
        contents of guest VRAM are copied to the memory buffer provided by
        the implementation every time a display update occurs.

        It is important to note that the direct mode is really fast only when
        the implementation uses the given guest VRAM buffer directly, for
        example, by blitting it to the window representing the virtual machine's
        display, which saves at least one copy operation comparing to the
        indirect mode. However, using the guest VRAM buffer directly is not
        always possible: the format and the color depth of this buffer may be
        not supported by the target window, or it may be unknown (opaque) as in
        case of text or non-linear multi-plane VGA video modes. In this case,
        the indirect mode (that is always available) should be used as a
        fallback: when the guest VRAM contents are copied to the
        implementation-provided memory buffer, color and format conversion is
        done authomatically by the underlying code.

        The @a pixelFormat parameter defines whether the direct mode is
        available or not. If @a pixelFormat is <link
        to="PixelFormat::PixelFormatOpaque"/> then direct access to the guest
        VRAM buffer is not available -- the @a VRAM, @a bitsPerPixel and @a
        bytesPerLine parameters must be ignored and the implementation must use
        the indirect mode (where it provides its own buffer in one of the
        supported formats). In all other cases, @a pixelFormat together with @a
        bitsPerPixel and @a bytesPerLine define the format of the video memory
        buffer pointed to by the @a VRAM parameter and the implementation is
        free to choose which mode to use. To indicate that this framebuffer uses
        the direct mode, the implementation of the <link to="#usesGuestVRAM"/>
        attribute must return <tt>true</tt> and <link to="#address"/> must
        return exactly the same address that is passed in the @a VRAM parameter
        of this method; otherwise it is assumed that the indirect strategy is
        chosen.

        The @a width and @a height parameters represent the size of the
        requested display mode in both modes. In case of indirect mode, the
        provided memory buffer should be big enough to store data of the given
        display mode. In case of direct mode, it is guaranteed that the given @a
        VRAM buffer contains enough space to represent the display mode of the
        given size. Note that this framebuffer's <link to="#width"/> and <link
        to="#height"/> attributes must return exactly the same values as
        passed to this method after the resize is completed (see below).

        The @a finished output parameter determines if the implementation has
        finished resizing the framebuffer or not. If, for some reason, the
        resize cannot be finished immediately during this call, @a finished
        must be set to @c false, and the implementation must call
        <link to="IDisplay::resizeCompleted()"/> after it has returned from
        this method as soon as possible. If @a finished is @c false, the
        machine will not call any framebuffer methods until
        <link to="IDisplay::resizeCompleted()"/> is called.

        Note that if the direct mode is chosen, the <link to="#bitsPerPixel"/>,
        <link to="#bytesPerLine"/> and <link to="#pixelFormat"/> attributes of
        this framebuffer must return exactly the same values as specified in the
        parameters of this method, after the resize is completed. If the
        indirect mode is chosen, these attributes must return values describing
        the format of the implementation's own memory buffer <link
        to="#address"/> points to. Note also that the <link to="#bitsPerPixel"/>
        value must always correlate with <link to="#pixelFormat"/>. Note that
        the <link to="#pixelFormat"/> attribute must never return <link
        to="PixelFormat::PixelFormatOpaque"/> regardless of the selected mode.

        <note>
          This method is called by the IDisplay object under the
          <link to="#lock()"/> provided by this IFramebuffer
          implementation. If this method returns @c false in @a finished, then
          this lock is not released until
          <link to="IDisplay::resizeCompleted()"/> is called.

      The IUSBDeviceFilter interface represents an USB device filter used
      to perform actions on a group of USB devices.

      This type of filters is used by running virtual machines to
      automatically capture selected USB devices once they are physically
      attached to the host computer.

      A USB device is matched to the given device filter if and only if all
      attributes of the device match the corresponding attributes of the
      filter (that is, attributes are joined together using the logical AND
      operation). On the other hand, all together, filters in the list of
      filters carry the semantics of the logical OR operation. So if it is
      desirable to create a match like "this vendor id OR this product id",
      one needs to create two filters and specify "any match" (see below)
      for unused attributes.

      All filter attributes used for matching are strings. Each string
      is an expression representing a set of values of the corresponding
      device attribute, that will match the given filter. Currently, the
      following filtering expressions are supported:

      <ul>
        <li><i>Interval filters</i>. Used to specify valid intervals for
          integer device attributes (Vendor ID, Product ID and Revision).
          The format of the string is:

          <tt>int:((m)|([m]-[n]))(,(m)|([m]-[n]))*</tt>

          where <tt>m</tt> and <tt>n</tt> are integer numbers, either in octal
          (starting from <tt>0</tt>), hexadecimal (starting from <tt>0x</tt>)
          or decimal (otherwise) form, so that <tt>m &lt; n</tt>. If <tt>m</tt>
          is ommitted before a dash (<tt>-</tt>), the minimum possible integer
          is assumed; if <tt>n</tt> is ommitted after a dash, the maximum
          possible integer is assummed.
        </li>
        <li><i>Boolean filters</i>. Used to specify acceptable values for
          boolean device attributes. The format of the string is:

          <tt>true|false|yes|no|0|1</tt>

        </li>
        <li><i>Exact match</i>. Used to specify a single value for the given
          device attribute. Any string that does't start with <tt>int:</tt>
          represents the exact match. String device attributes are compared to
          this string including case of symbols. Integer attributes are first
          converted to a string (see individual filter attributes) and then
          compared ignoring case.

        </li>
        <li><i>Any match</i>. Any value of the corresponding device attribute
          will match the given filter. An empty or <tt>null</tt> string is
          used to construct this type of filtering expressions.

        </li>
      </ul>

      <note>
        On the Windows host platform, interval filters are not currently
        available. Also all string filter attributes
        (<link to="#manufacturer"/>, <link to="#product"/>,
        <link to="#serialNumber"/>) are ignored, so they behave as
        <i>any match</i> no matter what string expression is specified.

        Note that for interval filters, it's best to use the hexadecimal
        form, because the revision is stored as a 16 bit packed BCD value;
        so the expression <tt>int:0x0100-0x0199</tt> will match any

     >
    <desc>
      USB device state. This enumeration represents all possible states
      of the USB device physically attached to the host computer regarding
      its state on the host computer and availability to guest computers
      (all currently running virtual machines).

      Once a supported USB device is attached to the host, global USB
      filters (<link to="IHost::USBDeviceFilters"/>) are activated. They can
      either ignore the device, or put ot to #USBDeviceHeld state, or do
      nothing. Unless the device is ignored by global filters, filters of
      all currently running guests (<link to="IUSBController::deviceFilters"/>)
      are activated that can put it to #USBDeviceCaptured state.

      If the device was ignored by global filters, or didn't match
      any filters at all (including guest ones), it is handled by the host
      in a normal way. In this case, the device state is determined by
      the host and can be one of #USBDeviceUnavailable, #USBDeviceBusy or
      #USBDeviceAvailable, depending on the current device usage.

      Besides auto-capturing based on filters, the device can be manually
      captured by guests (<link to="IConsole::attachUSBDevice()"/>) if its
      state is #USBDeviceBusy, #USBDeviceAvailable or #USBDeviceHeld.

      <note>
        Due to differences in USB stack implementations in Linux and Win32,
        states #USBDeviceBusy and #USBDeviceAvailable are applicable
        only to the Linux version of the product. This also means that
        (<link to="IConsole::attachUSBDevice()"/>) can only succeed
        on Win32 if the device state is #USBDeviceHeld.

    <desc>
      The ISharedFolder interface represents a folder in the host computer's
      file system accessible from the guest OS running inside a virtual
      machine using an associated logical name.

      There are three types of shared folders:
      <ul>
        <li><i>Global</i> (<link to="IVirtualBox::sharedFolders"/>), shared
        folders available to all virtual machines.</li>
        <li><i>Permanent</i> (<link to="IMachine::sharedFolders"/>),
        VM-specific shared folders available to the given virtual machine at
        startup.</li>
        <li><i>Transient</i> (<link to="IConsole::sharedFolders"/>),
        VM-specific shared folders created in the session context (for
        example, when the virtual machine is running) and automatically
        discarded when the session is closed (the VM is powered off).</li>
      </ul>

      Logical names of shared folders must be unique within the given scope
      (global, permanent or transient). However, they do not need to be unique
      across scopes. In this case, the definitioin of the shared folder in a
      more specific scope takes precedence over definitions in all other
      scopes. The order of precedence is (more specific to more general):
      <ol>
        <li>Transient definitions</li>
        <li>Permanent definitions</li>
        <li>Global definitions</li>
      </ol>

      For example, if MyMachine has a shared folder named
      <tt>C_DRIVE</tt> (that points to <tt>C:\\</tt>), then cretaing a
      transient shared folder named <tt>C_DRIVE</tt> (that points
      to <tt>C:\\\\WINDOWS</tt>) will change the definition
      of <tt>C_DRIVE</tt> in the guest OS so
      that <tt>\\\\VBOXSVR\\C_DRIVE</tt> will give access
      to <tt>C:\\WINDOWS</tt> instead of <tt>C:\\</tt> on the host
      PC. Removing the transient shared folder <tt>C_DRIVE</tt> will restore
      the prevoious (permanent) definition of <tt>C_DRIVE</tt> that points
      to <tt>C:\\</tt> if it still exists.

      Note that permanent and transient shared folders of different machines
      are in different name spaces, so they don't overlap and don't need to
      have unique logical names.

      <note>
        Global shared folders are not implemented in the current vesion of the
        product.
