Command Line Interface
The command name varies with each of the three OS types available, but all three have a
-v
option to show the VMware Tools version number.Linux: vmware-toolbox-cmd stat raw <encoding> <stat> Mac: vmware-tools-cli stat raw <encoding> <stat> Windows: VMwareToolboxCmd.exe stat raw <encoding> <stat>
These commands are provided for debugging and scripting; the implementation is a wrapper on top of the
VMGuestLib_StatGet()
call described above.
