User Manual controlvm options

Reported by: Stephen Rondeau Owned by:
Component: VM control Version: VirtualBox 4.2.6
Keywords: nic Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: other

Description

In the HTML and PDF versions of the user manual, the description of the VBoxManage controlvm "extra option":

nic<1-N> null|nat|bridged|intnet|hostonly|generic

is incomplete, compared to the VBoxManage command's help, which lists:

nic<1-N> null|nat|bridged|intnet|hostonly|generic [<devicename>]

This was the one I was most concerned with. However, it appears that there are many other options and "extra options" that are not documented (i.e., not explicitly listed as options, but may be described elsewhere) in the user manual:

acpipowerbutton|acpisleepbutton

keyboardputscancode <hex> [<hex> ...]

nictrace<1-N> on|off

nictracefile<1-N> <filename>

nicproperty<1-N> name=[value]

natpf<1-N> [<rulename>],tcp|udp,[<hostip>],<hostport>,[<guestip>],<guestport>

natpf<1-N> delete <rulename>

gueststatisticsinterval <seconds>]

clipboard disabled|hosttoguest|guesttohost|bidirectional

draganddrop disabled|hosttoguest

vrdeproperty <name=[value]>

vrdevideochannelquality <percent>

plugcpu <id> unplugcpu <id>

cpuexecutioncap <1-100>
