Vboxmanage Guestproperty Get command - manual needs fix? => Fixed in SVN

[scottgus1bug]

Section 8.30 of the manual, "Vboxmanage guestproperty" has this for the Get command:

get <vm>: This retrieves the value of a single property only.

I tested placing a guestproperty of "/vmcontrol/test" with a value of 2, with this command:

vboxmanage guestproperty set DSL /vmcontrol/test 2

where DSL is one of my guests. The command completed without error. When I enter this to read the guestproperty, per the manual:

vboxmanage guestproperty get DSL

I get the usage instructions for "Vboxmanage guestproperty", indicating my command is wrong.

Entering this command:

vboxmanage guestproperty get DSL /vmcontrol/test

returns the "Value: 2" as expected.

It seems the manual should read:

get <vm> <property>: This retrieves the value of a single property only.

Thanks for spotting. Fixed in the subversion repository. The fix will be part of the next maintenance release.
