  Welcome to the <b>VirtualBox Main API documentation</b>. This documentation
  describes the so-called <i>VirtualBox Main API</i> which comprises all public
  COM interfaces and components provided by the VirtualBox server and by the
  VirtualBox client library.

  VirtualBox employs a client-server design, meaning that whenever any part of
  VirtualBox is running -- be it the Qt GUI, the VBoxManage command-line
  interface or any virtual machine --, a dedicated server process named
  VBoxSVC runs in the background. This allows multiple processes working with
  VirtualBox to cooperate without conflicts. These processes communicate to each
  other using inter-process communication facilities provided by the COM
  implementation of the host computer.

  On Windows platforms, the VirtualBox Main API uses Microsoft COM, a native COM
  implementation. On all other platforms, Mozilla XPCOM, an open-source COM
  implementation, is used.

  All the parts that a typical VirtualBox user interacts with (the Qt GUI
  and the VBoxManage command-line interface) are technically
  front-ends to the Main API and only use the interfaces that are documented
  in this Main API documentation. This ensures that, with any given release
  version of VirtualBox, all capabilities of the product that could be useful
  to an external client program are always exposed by way of this API.

  The VirtualBox Main API (also called the <i>VirtualBox COM library</i>)
  contains two public component classes:
  <tt>%VirtualBox.VirtualBox</tt> and <tt>%VirtualBox.Session</tt>, which
  implement IVirtualBox and ISession interfaces respectively. These two classes
  are of supreme importance and will be needed in order for any front-end
  program to do anything useful. It is recommended to read the documentation of
  the mentioned interfaces first.

  The <tt>%VirtualBox.VirtualBox</tt> class is a singleton. This means that
  there can be only one object of this class on the local machine at any given
  time. This object is a parent of many other objects in the VirtualBox COM
  library and lives in the VBoxSVC process. In fact, when you create an instance
  of the <tt>VirtualBox.VirtualBox</tt>, the COM subsystem checks if the VBoxSVC
  process is already running, starts it if not, and returns you a reference to
  the <tt>VirtualBox</tt> object created in this process. When the last reference
  to this object is released, the VBoxSVC process ends (with a 5 second delay to
  protect from too frequent restarts).

  The <tt>%VirtualBox.Session</tt> class is a regular component. You can create
  as many <tt>Session</tt> objects as you need but all of them will live in a
  process which issues the object instantiation call. <tt>Session</tt> objects
  represent virtual machine sessions which are used to configure virtual
  machines and control their execution.

  The naming of methods and attributes is very clearly defined: they all start
  with a lowercase letter (except if they start with an acronym), and are using
  CamelCase style otherwise. This naming only applies to the IDL description,
  and is modified by the various language bindings (some convert the first
  character to upper case, some not). See the SDK reference for more details
  about how to call a method or attribute from a specific programming language.

  // COM result codes for VirtualBox
  /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  -->

  <descGroup id="VirtualBox_COM_result_codes" title="VirtualBox COM result codes">
    <desc>
      This section describes all VirtualBox-specific COM result codes that may
      be returned by methods of VirtualBox COM interfaces in addition to
      standard COM result codes.

      Note that along with the result code, every VirtualBox method returns
      extended error information through the IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface on
      failure. This interface is a preferred way to present the error to the end
      user because it contains a human readable description of the error. Raw
      result codes, both standard and described in this section, are intended to
      be used by programs to analyze the reason of a failure and select an
      appropriate course of action without involving the end user (for example,
      retry the operation later or make a different call).

      The standard COM result codes that may originate from our methods include:

      <dl>
        <dt><tt>E_INVALIDARG</tt></dt>
        <dd>
          Returned when the value of the method's argument is not within the range
          of valid values. This should not be confused with situations when the
          value is within the range but simply doesn't suit the current object
          state and there is a possibility that it will be accepted later (in such
          cases VirtualBox-specific codes are returned, for example,
          <link to="VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND"/>).
        </dd>
        <dt><tt>E_POINTER</tt></dt>
        <dd>
          Returned if a memory pointer for the output argument is invalid (for
          example, @c null). When pointers representing input arguments (such
          as strings) are invalid, E_INVALIDARG is returned.
        </dd>
        <dt><tt>E_ACCESSDENIED</tt></dt>
        <dd>
          Returned when the called object is not ready. Since the lifetime of a
          public COM object cannot be fully controlled by the implementation,
          VirtualBox maintains the readiness state for all objects it creates and
          returns this code in response to any method call on the object that was
          deactivated by VirtualBox and is not functioning any more.
        </dd>
        <dt><tt>E_OUTOFMEMORY</tt></dt>
        <dd>
          Returned when a memory allocation operation fails.
        </dd>
      </dl>

      Virtual machine execution state.

      This enumeration represents possible values of the <link
      to="IMachine::state"/> attribute.

      Below is the basic virtual machine state diagram. It shows how the state
      changes during virtual machine execution. The text in square braces shows
      a method of the IConsole or IMachine interface that performs the given state
      transition.

    |     |     +-----------------------------------------+-|-------------------+ +
    |     |     |                                           |                     |
    |     |     +- OnlineSnapshotting &lt;--[takeSnapshot()]&lt;--+---------------------+
    |     |                                                 |                     |
    |     +-------- Saving &lt;--------[saveState()]&lt;----------+---------------------+
    |                                                       |                     |
    +-------------- Stopping -------[powerDown()]&lt;----------+---------------------+
      </pre>

      Note that states to the right of PoweredOff, Aborted, AbortedSaved, and
      Saved in the above diagram are called <i>online VM states</i>. These
      states represent the virtual machine which is being executed in a
      dedicated process (usually with a GUI window attached to it where you can
      see the activity of the virtual machine and interact with it). There are
      two special pseudo-states, FirstOnline and LastOnline, that can be used
      in relational expressions to detect if the given machine state is online
      or not:

      <pre>
        if (machine.GetState() &gt;= MachineState_FirstOnline &amp;&amp;
            machine.GetState() &lt;= MachineState_LastOnline)
        {
            ...the machine is being executed...
        }
      </pre>

      When the virtual machine is in one of the online VM states (that is, being
      executed), only a few machine settings can be modified. Methods working
      with such settings contain an explicit note about that. An attempt to
      change any other setting or perform a modifying operation during this time
      will result in the @c VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE error.

      All online states except Running, Paused and Stuck are transitional: they
      represent temporary conditions of the virtual machine that will last as
      long as the operation that initiated such a condition.

      The Stuck state is a special case. It means that execution of the machine
      has reached the "Guru Meditation" condition. This condition indicates an
      internal VMM (virtual machine manager) failure which may happen as a
      result of either an unhandled low-level virtual hardware exception or one
      of the recompiler exceptions (such as the <i>too-many-traps</i>
      condition).

      Note also that any online VM state may transit to the Aborted state. This
      happens if the process that is executing the virtual machine terminates
      unexpectedly (for example, crashes). Other than that, the Aborted state is
      equivalent to PoweredOff.

      There are also a few additional state diagrams that do not deal with
      virtual machine execution and therefore are shown separately. The states
      shown on these diagrams are called <i>offline VM states</i> (this includes
      PoweredOff, Aborted, AbortedSaved and Saved too).

      The first diagram shows what happens when a lengthy setup operation is
      being executed (such as <link to="IMachine::attachDevice"/>).

      <pre>
    +----------------------------------(same state as before the call)------+
    |                                                                       |
    +-&gt; PoweredOff --+                                                      |
    |                |                                                      |
    |-&gt; Aborted -----+--&gt;[lengthy VM configuration call] --&gt; SettingUp -----+
    |                |
    +-&gt; Saved -------+
      </pre>

      The next two diagrams demonstrate the process of taking a snapshot of a
      powered off virtual machine, restoring the state to that as of a snapshot
      or deleting a snapshot, respectively.

      <pre>
    +----------------------------------(same state as before the call)------+

  <interface
    name="IVirtualBoxErrorInfo" extends="$errorinfo"
    uuid="c1bcc6d5-7966-481d-ab0b-d0ed73e28135"
    supportsErrorInfo="no"

    >
    <desc>
      The IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface represents extended error information.

      Extended error information can be set by VirtualBox components after
      unsuccessful or partially successful method invocation. This information
      can be retrieved by the calling party as an IVirtualBoxErrorInfo object
      and then shown to the client in addition to the plain 32-bit 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 object set after method invocation.

      <note>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).</note>
    </desc>

    <attribute name="resultCode" type="long" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Result code of the error.
        Usually, it will be the same as the result code returned
        by the method that provided this error information, but not
        always. For example, on Win32, CoCreateInstance() will most
        likely return E_NOINTERFACE upon unsuccessful component
        instantiation attempt, but not the value the component factory
        returned. Value is typed 'long', not 'result',
        to make interface usable from scripting languages.

          In MS COM, there is no equivalent.

         - in Main we can match (vm name, slot) to ethernet address
         that why it's easy to configure dhcp server in such way,
         then ask user to to enter valid name,

         - mac address might change because of adapter type (e1k <-> pcnet) or because
         of import/export

         - it's easy to provide vm-name.rom in boot filename VM with network boot.

         XXX: do we need classic getOptionValueByMAC?

         XML: O-o-oh, this settings are per VM, so perhaps they should be stored in
         VM configuration files. And we haven't got the attachment type for
         NATNetwork.

      The IVirtualBox interface represents 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.

      Error information handling is a bit special with IVirtualBox: creating
      an instance will always succeed. The return of the actual error
      code/information is postponed to any attribute or method call. The
      reason for this is that COM likes to mutilate the error code and lose
      the detailed error information returned by instance creation.

        This is mainly intended for the VBox Validation Kit so it can fluently
        deal with incompatible API changes and new functionality during
        development (i.e. on trunk).

        The high 7 bits (62:56) is the major version number, the next 8 bits
        (55:48) are the minor version number, the next 8 bits (47:40) are the
        build number, and the rest (39:0) is the API revision number.

        The API revision number is manually increased on trunk when making
        incompatible changes that the validation kit or others needs to be able
        to detect and cope with dynamically.  It can also be used to indicate
        the presence of new features on both trunk and branches.

        Returns a recommended full path of the settings file name for a new virtual
        machine.

        This API serves two purposes:

        <ul>
          <li>It gets called by <link to="#createMachine" /> if @c null or
            empty string (which is recommended) is specified for the
            @a settingsFile argument there, which means that API should use
            a recommended default file name.</li>

          <li>It can be called manually by a client software before creating a machine,
            e.g. if that client wants to pre-create the machine directory to create
            virtual hard disks in that directory together with the new machine
            settings file. In that case, the file name should be stripped from the
            full settings file path returned by this function to obtain the
            machine directory.</li>
        </ul>

        See <link to="IMachine::name"/> and <link to="#createMachine"/> for more
        details about the machine name.

        @a groupName defines which additional subdirectory levels should be
        included. It must be either a valid group name or @c null or empty
        string which designates that the machine will not be related to a
        machine group.

        If @a baseFolder is a @c null or empty string (which is recommended), the
        default machine settings folder
        (see <link to="ISystemProperties::defaultMachineFolder" />) will be used as
        a base folder for the created machine, resulting in a file name like
        "/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/name/name.vbox". Otherwise the given base folder
        will be used.

        This method does not access the host disks. In particular, it does not check
        for whether a machine with this name already exists.

    <method name="createMachine">
      <rest name="create" request="post" path="/vms/"/>
      <desc>
        Creates a new virtual machine by creating a machine settings file at
        the given location.

        VirtualBox machine settings files use a custom XML dialect. Starting
        with VirtualBox 4.0, a ".vbox" extension is recommended, but not enforced,
        and machine files can be created at arbitrary locations.

        However, it is recommended that machines are created in the default
        machine folder (e.g. "/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/name/name.vbox"; see
        <link to="ISystemProperties::defaultMachineFolder" />). If you specify
        @c null or empty string (which is recommended) for the @a settingsFile
        argument, <link to="#composeMachineFilename" /> is called automatically
        to have such a recommended name composed based on the machine name
        given in the @a name argument and the primary group.

        If the resulting settings file already exists, this method will fail,
        unless the forceOverwrite flag is set.

        The new machine is created unregistered, with the initial configuration
        set according to the specified guest OS type. A typical sequence of
        actions to create a new virtual machine is as follows:

        <ol>
          <li>
            Call this method to have a new machine created. The returned machine
            object will be "mutable" allowing to change any machine property.
          </li>

          <li>
            Configure the machine using the appropriate attributes and methods.
          </li>

          <li>
            Call <link to="IMachine::saveSettings" /> to write the settings
            to the machine's XML settings file. The configuration of the newly
            created machine will not be saved to disk until this method is
            called.
          </li>

          <li>
            Call <link to="#registerMachine" /> to add the machine to the list
            of machines known to VirtualBox.
          </li>
        </ol>

        The specified guest OS type identifier must match an ID of one of known
        guest OS types listed in the <link to="IVirtualBox::guestOSTypes"/>
        array.

        <note>
          <link to="IMachine::settingsModified"/> will return
          @c false for the created machine, until any of machine settings
          are changed.
        </note>

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

    <method name="createMedium">

      <desc>
        Creates a new base medium object that will use the given storage
        format and location for medium data.

        The actual storage unit is not created by this method. In order to
        do it, and before you are able to attach the created medium to
        virtual machines, you must call one of the following methods to
        allocate a format-specific storage unit at the specified location:
        <ul>
          <li><link to="IMedium::createBaseStorage"/></li>
          <li><link to="IMedium::createDiffStorage"/></li>
        </ul>

        Some medium attributes, such as <link to="IMedium::id"/>, may
        remain uninitialized until the medium storage unit is successfully
        created by one of the above methods.

        Depending on the given device type, the file at the storage location
        must be in one of the media formats understood by VirtualBox:

        <ul>
          <li>With a "HardDisk" device type, the file must be a hard disk image
            in one of the formats supported by VirtualBox (see
            <link to="ISystemProperties::mediumFormats" />).
            After the storage unit is successfully created and this method succeeds,
            if the medium is a base medium, it
            will be added to the <link to="#hardDisks"/> array attribute. </li>
          <li>With a "DVD" device type, the file must be an ISO 9960 CD/DVD image.
            After this method succeeds, the medium will be added to the
            <link to="#DVDImages"/> array attribute.</li>
          <li>With a "Floppy" device type, the file must be an RAW floppy image.
            After this method succeeds, the medium will be added to the
            <link to="#floppyImages"/> array attribute.</li>
        </ul>

        The list of all storage formats supported by this VirtualBox
        installation can be obtained using
        <link to="ISystemProperties::mediumFormats"/>. If the @a format
        attribute is empty or @c null then the default storage format
        specified by <link to="ISystemProperties::defaultHardDiskFormat"/> will
        be used for disks r creating a storage unit of the medium.

        Note that the format of the location string is storage format specific.
        See <link to="IMedium::location"/> and IMedium for more details.

    <method name="openMedium">
      <rest request="post" path="/server/methods/"/>
      <desc>
        Finds existing media or opens a medium from an existing storage location.

        Once a medium has been opened, it can be passed to other VirtualBox
        methods, in particular to <link to="IMachine::attachDevice" />.

        Depending on the given device type, the file at the storage location
        must be in one of the media formats understood by VirtualBox:

        <ul>
          <li>With a "HardDisk" device type, the file must be a hard disk image
            in one of the formats supported by VirtualBox (see
            <link to="ISystemProperties::mediumFormats" />).
            After this method succeeds, if the medium is a base medium, it
            will be added to the <link to="#hardDisks"/> array attribute. </li>
          <li>With a "DVD" device type, the file must be an ISO 9960 CD/DVD image.
            After this method succeeds, the medium will be added to the
            <link to="#DVDImages"/> array attribute.</li>
          <li>With a "Floppy" device type, the file must be an RAW floppy image.
            After this method succeeds, the medium will be added to the
            <link to="#floppyImages"/> array attribute.</li>
        </ul>

        After having been opened, the medium can be re-found by this method
        and can be attached to virtual machines. See <link to="IMedium" /> for
        more details.

        The UUID of the newly opened medium will either be retrieved from the
        storage location, if the format supports it (e.g. for hard disk images),
        or a new UUID will be randomly generated (e.g. for ISO and RAW files).
        If for some reason you need to change the medium's UUID, use
        <link to="IMedium::setIds" />.

        If a differencing hard disk medium is to be opened by this method, the
        operation will succeed only if its parent medium and all ancestors,
        if any, are already known to this VirtualBox installation (for example,
        were opened by this method before).

        This method attempts to guess the storage format of the specified medium
        by reading medium data at the specified location.

        If @a accessMode is ReadWrite (which it should be for hard disks and floppies),
        the image is opened for read/write access and must have according permissions,
        as VirtualBox may actually write status information into the disk's metadata
        sections.

        Note that write access is required for all typical hard disk usage in VirtualBox,
        since VirtualBox may need to write metadata such as a UUID into the image.
        The only exception is opening a source image temporarily for copying and
        cloning (see <link to="IMedium::cloneTo" /> when the image will be closed
        again soon.

        The format of the location string is storage format specific. See
        <link to="IMedium::location"/> and IMedium for more details.

        Represents a platform-independent appliance in OVF format. An instance of this is returned
        by <link to="IVirtualBox::createAppliance" />, which can then be used to import and export
        virtual machines within an appliance with VirtualBox.

        The OVF standard suggests two different physical file formats:

        <ol>
            <li>If the appliance is distributed as a set of files, there must be at least one XML descriptor
                file that conforms to the OVF standard and carries an <tt>.ovf</tt> file extension. If
                this descriptor file references other files such as disk images, as OVF appliances typically
                do, those additional files must be in the same directory as the descriptor file.
            </li>

            <li>If the appliance is distributed as a single file, it must be in TAR format and have the
                <tt>.ova</tt> file extension. This TAR file must then contain at least the OVF descriptor
                files and optionally other files.

                At this time, VirtualBox does not not yet support the packed (TAR) variant; support will
                be added with a later version.
            </li>
        </ol>

        <b>Importing</b> an OVF appliance into VirtualBox as instances of
        <link to="IMachine" /> involves the following sequence of API calls:

        <ol>
          <li>Call <link to="IVirtualBox::createAppliance" />. This will create an empty IAppliance object.
          </li>

          <li>On the new object, call <link to="#read" /> with the full path of the OVF file you
              would like to import. So long as this file is syntactically valid, this will succeed
              and fill the appliance object with the parsed data from the OVF file.
          </li>

          <li>Next, call <link to="#interpret" />, which analyzes the OVF data and sets up the
              contents of the IAppliance attributes accordingly. These can be inspected by a
              VirtualBox front-end such as the GUI, and the suggestions can be displayed to the
              user. In particular, the <link to="#virtualSystemDescriptions" /> array contains
              instances of <link to="IVirtualSystemDescription" /> which represent the virtual
              systems (machines) in the OVF, which in turn describe the virtual hardware prescribed
              by the OVF (network and hardware adapters, virtual disk images, memory size and so on).
              The GUI can then give the user the option to confirm and/or change these suggestions.
          </li>

          <li>If desired, call <link to="IVirtualSystemDescription::setFinalValues" /> for each
              virtual system (machine) to override the suggestions made by the <link to="#interpret" /> routine.
          </li>

          <li>Finally, call <link to="#importMachines" /> to create virtual machines in
              VirtualBox as instances of <link to="IMachine" /> that match the information in the
              virtual system descriptions. After this call succeeded, the UUIDs of the machines created
              can be found in the <link to="#machines" /> array attribute.
          </li>
        </ol>

        <b>Exporting</b> VirtualBox machines into an OVF appliance involves the following steps:

        <ol>
            <li>As with importing, first call <link to="IVirtualBox::createAppliance" /> to create
                an empty IAppliance object.
            </li>

            <li>For each machine you would like to export, call <link to="IMachine::exportTo" />
                with the IAppliance object you just created. Each such call creates one instance of
                <link to="IVirtualSystemDescription" /> inside the appliance.
            </li>

            <li>If desired, call <link to="IVirtualSystemDescription::setFinalValues" /> for each
                virtual system (machine) to override the suggestions made by the <link to="IMachine::exportTo"/> routine.
            </li>

            <li>Finally, call <link to="#write" /> with a path specification to have the OVF
                file written.</li>
        </ol>

    </desc>

    <attribute name="path" type="wstring" readonly="yes">
      <desc>Path to the main file of the OVF appliance, which is either the <tt>.ovf</tt> or
          the <tt>.ova</tt> file passed to <link to="#read" /> (for import) or
          <link to="#write" /> (for export).
          This attribute is empty until one of these methods has been called.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="disks" type="wstring" readonly="yes" safearray="yes">
      <desc>
        Array of virtual disk definitions. One such description exists for each
        disk definition in the OVF; each string array item represents one such piece of
        disk information, with the information fields separated by tab (\\t) characters.

        The caller should be prepared for additional fields being appended to
        this string in future versions of VirtualBox and therefore check for
        the number of tabs in the strings returned.

        In the current version, the following eight fields are returned per string
        in the array:

        <ol>
            <li>Disk ID (unique string identifier given to disk)</li>

            disk; can be approximate; -1 if unspecified)</li>

            <li>Format (string identifying the disk format, typically
            "http://www.vmware.com/specifications/vmdk.html#sparse")</li>

            <li>Reference (where to find the disk image, typically a file name; if empty,
            then the disk should be created on import)</li>

            <li>Image size (optional unsigned integer indicating the size of the image,

        Interprets the OVF data that was read when the appliance was constructed. After

        one <link to="IVirtualSystemDescription" /> for each virtual machine found in
        the appliance.

        Calling this method is the second step of importing an appliance into VirtualBox;
        see <link to="IAppliance" /> for an overview.

        After calling this method, one should call <link to="#getWarnings" /> to find out

        Calling this method is the final step of importing an appliance into VirtualBox;
        see <link to="IAppliance" /> for an overview.

    <attribute name="count" type="unsigned long" readonly="yes">
      <desc>Return the number of virtual system description entries.</desc>
    </attribute>

    <method name="getDescription">
      <desc>Returns information about the virtual system as arrays of instruction items. In each array, the
      items with the same indices correspond and jointly represent an import instruction for VirtualBox.

      The list below identifies the value sets that are possible depending on the
      <link to="VirtualSystemDescriptionType" /> enum value in the array item in @a aTypes[]. In each case,
      the array item with the same index in @a OVFValues[] will contain the original value as contained
      in the OVF file (just for informational purposes), and the corresponding item in @a aVBoxValues[]
      will contain a suggested value to be used for VirtualBox. Depending on the description type,
      the @a aExtraConfigValues[] array item may also be used.

      <ul>
      <li>
        "OS": the guest operating system type. There must be exactly one such array item on import. The
        corresponding item in @a aVBoxValues[] contains the suggested guest operating system for VirtualBox.
        This will be one of the values listed in <link to="IVirtualBox::guestOSTypes" />. The corresponding
        item in @a OVFValues[] will contain a numerical value that described the operating system in the OVF.
      </li>
      <li>
        "Name": the name to give to the new virtual machine. There can be at most one such array item;
        if none is present on import, then an automatic name will be created from the operating system
        type. The corresponding item im @a OVFValues[] will contain the suggested virtual machine name
        from the OVF file, and @a aVBoxValues[] will contain a suggestion for a unique VirtualBox
        <link to="IMachine" /> name that does not exist yet.
      </li>
      <li>
          "Description": an arbitrary description.
      </li>
      <li>
          "License": the EULA section from the OVF, if present. It is the responsibility of the calling
          code to display such a license for agreement; the Main API does not enforce any such policy.
      </li>
      <li>
          Miscellaneous: reserved for future use.
      </li>
      <li>
        "CPU": the number of CPUs. There can be at most one such item, which will presently be ignored.
      </li>
      <li>
        "Memory": the amount of guest RAM, in bytes. There can be at most one such array item; if none
        is present on import, then VirtualBox will set a meaningful default based on the operating system
        type.
      </li>
      <li>
        "HardDiskControllerIDE": an IDE hard disk controller. There can be at most two such items.
        An optional value in @a OVFValues[] and @a aVBoxValues[] can be "PIIX3" or "PIIX4" to specify
        the type of IDE controller; this corresponds to the ResourceSubType element which VirtualBox
        writes into the OVF.
        The matching item in the @a aRefs[] array will contain an integer that items of the "Harddisk"
        type can use to specify which hard disk controller a virtual disk should be connected to.
        Note that in OVF, an IDE controller has two channels, corresponding to "master" and "slave"
        in traditional terminology, whereas the IDE storage controller that VirtualBox supports in
        its virtual machines supports four channels (primary master, primary slave, secondary master,
        secondary slave) and thus maps to two IDE controllers in the OVF sense.
      </li>
      <li>
        "HardDiskControllerSATA": an SATA hard disk controller. There can be at most one such item. This
        has no value in @a OVFValues[] or @a aVBoxValues[].
        The matching item in the @a aRefs[] array will be used as with IDE controllers (see above).
      </li>
      <li>
        "HardDiskControllerSCSI": a SCSI hard disk controller. There can be at most one such item.
        The items in @a OVFValues[] and @a aVBoxValues[] will either be "LsiLogic", "BusLogic" or
        "LsiLogicSas". (Note that in OVF, the LsiLogicSas controller is treated as a SCSI controller
        whereas VirtualBox considers it a class of storage controllers of its own; see
        <link to="StorageControllerType" />).
        The matching item in the @a aRefs[] array will be used as with IDE controllers (see above).
      </li>
      <li>
        "HardDiskImage": a virtual hard disk, most probably as a reference to an image file. There can be an
        arbitrary number of these items, one for each virtual disk image that accompanies the OVF.

        The array item in @a OVFValues[] will contain the file specification from the OVF file (without
        a path since the image file should be in the same location as the OVF file itself), whereas the
        item in @a aVBoxValues[] will contain a qualified path specification to where VirtualBox uses the
        hard disk image. This means that on import the image will be copied and converted from the
        "ovf" location to the "vbox" location; on export, this will be handled the other way round.

        The matching item in the @a aExtraConfigValues[] array must contain a string of the following
        format: "controller=&lt;index&gt;;channel=&lt;c&gt;"
        In this string, &lt;index&gt; must be an integer specifying the hard disk controller to connect
        the image to. That number must be the index of an array item with one of the hard disk controller
        types (HardDiskControllerSCSI, HardDiskControllerSATA, HardDiskControllerIDE).
        In addition, &lt;c&gt; must specify the channel to use on that controller. For IDE controllers,
        this can be 0 or 1 for master or slave, respectively. For compatibility with VirtualBox versions
        before 3.2, the values 2 and 3 (for secondary master and secondary slave) are also supported, but
        no longer exported. For SATA and SCSI controllers, the channel can range from 0-29.
      </li>
      <li>
        "CDROM": a virtual CD-ROM drive. The matching item in @a aExtraConfigValue[] contains the same
        attachment information as with "HardDiskImage" items.
      </li>
      <li>
        "CDROM": a virtual floppy drive. The matching item in @a aExtraConfigValue[] contains the same
        attachment information as with "HardDiskImage" items.
      </li>
      <li>
        "NetworkAdapter": a network adapter. The array item in @a aVBoxValues[] will specify the hardware
        for the network adapter, whereas the array item in @a aExtraConfigValues[] will have a string
        of the "type=&lt;X&gt;" format, where &lt;X&gt; must be either "NAT" or "Bridged".
      </li>
      <li>
          "USBController": a USB controller. There can be at most one such item. If, and only if, such an
          item is present, USB support will be enabled for the new virtual machine.
      </li>
      <li>
          "SoundCard": a sound card. There can be at most one such item. If and only if such an item is
          present, sound support will be enabled for the new virtual machine. Note that the virtual
          machine in VirtualBox will always be presented with the standard VirtualBox soundcard, which
          may be different from the virtual soundcard expected by the appliance.

      The IUnattended interface represents the pipeline for preparing
      the Guest OS for fully automated install.

      The typical workflow is:
      <ol>
        <li>Call <link to="IVirtualBox::createUnattendedInstaller"/> to create the object</li>
        <li>Set <link to="IUnattended::isoPath"/> and call <link to="IUnattended::detectIsoOS"/></li>
        <li>Create, configure and register a machine according to <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSTypeId"/>
            and the other detectedOS* attributes.</li>
        <li>Set <link to="IUnattended::machine"/> to the new IMachine instance.</li>
        <li>Set the other IUnattended attributes as desired.</li>
        <li>Call <link to="IUnattended::prepare"/> for the object to check the

        <li>Optionally call <link to="IUnattended::done"/> to destroy the internal

    <attribute name="timeZone" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The guest time zone specifier.

        This is unfortunately guest OS specific.

        Windows XP and earlier takes the index number from this table:
        https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/973627/microsoft-time-zone-index-values

        Windows Vista and later takes the time zone string from this table:
        https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749073(v=ws.10).aspx

        Linux usually takes the TZ string from this table:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

        The default is currently UTC/GMT, but this may change to be same as
        the host later.

        TODO: Investigate automatic mapping between linux and the two windows
              time zone formats.
        TODO: Take default from host (this requires mapping).
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="locale" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The 5 letter locale identifier, no codesets or such.

        The format is two lower case language letters (ISO 639-1), underscore ('_'),
        and two upper case country letters (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2).  For instance
        'en_US', 'de_DE', or 'ny_NO'.

        The default is taken from the host if possible, with 'en_US' as fallback.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="language" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        This is more or less a Windows specific setting for choosing the UI language
        setting of the installer.

        The value should be from the list available via <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSLanguages"/>.
        The typical format is {language-code}-{COUNTRY} but windows may also use
        {16-bit code}:{32-bit code} or insert another component between the language
        and country codes.  We consider the format guest OS specific.

        Note that it is crucial that this is correctly specified for Windows
        installations.  If an unsupported value is given the installer will ask
        for an installation language and wait for user input.  Best to leave it
        to the default value.

        The default is the first one from <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSLanguages"/>.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="country" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The 2 upper case letter country identifier, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.

        This is used for mirrors and such.

        The default is taken from the host when possible, falling back on
        <link to="IUnattended::locale"/>.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="proxy" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Proxy incantation to pass on to the guest OS installer.

        This is important to get right if the guest OS installer is of the type
        that goes online to fetch the packages (e.g. debian-*-netinst.iso) or
        to fetch updates during the install process.

        Format: [schema=]schema://[login[:password]@]proxy[:port][;...]

        The default is taken from the host proxy configuration (once implemented).
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="packageSelectionAdjustments" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Guest OS specific package selection adjustments.

        This is a semicolon separated list of keywords, and later maybe guest OS
        package specifiers.  Currently the 'minimal' is the only recognized value,
        and this only works with a selection of linux installers.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="hostname" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The fully qualified guest hostname.

        This defaults to machine-name + ".myguest.virtualbox.org", though it may
        change to the host domain name later.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="auxiliaryBasePath" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The path + basename for auxiliary files generated by the unattended
        installation.  This defaults to the VM folder + Unattended + VM UUID.

        The files which gets generated depends on the OS being installed.  When
        installing Windows there is currently only a auxiliaryBasePath + "floppy.img"
        being created.  But for linux, a "cdrom.viso" and one or more configuration
        files are generate generated.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="imageIndex" type="unsigned long">
      <desc>
        The image index on installation CD/DVD used to install. This index should be
        one of the indices of <link to="IUnattended::detectedImageIndices"/>.

        Changing this after ISO detection may cause
        <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSTypeId"/>, <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSVersion"/>,
        <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSFlavor"/>, <link to="IUnattended::detectedOSLanguages"/>,

    <attribute name="scriptTemplatePath" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The unattended installation script template file.

        The template default is based on the guest OS type and is determined by the
        internal installer when when <link to="IUnattended::prepare"/> is invoked.
        Most users will want the defaults.

        After <link to="IUnattended::prepare"/> is called, it can be read to see
        which file is being used.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="postInstallScriptTemplatePath" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        The post installation (shell/batch) script template file.

        The template default is based on the guest OS type and is determined by the
        internal installer when when <link to="IUnattended::prepare"/> is invoked.
        Most users will want the defaults.

        After <link to="IUnattended::prepare"/> is called, it can be read to see

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="postInstallCommand" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Custom post installation command.

        Exactly what is expected as input here depends on the guest OS installer
        and the post installation script template (see
        <link to="IUnattended::postInstallScriptTemplatePath"/>).
        Most users will not need to set this attribute.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="extraInstallKernelParameters" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Extra kernel arguments passed to the install kernel of some guests.

        This is currently only picked up by linux guests.  The exact parameters
        are specific to the guest OS being installed of course.

        Checks the detected OS type and version against a set of rules and returns

    <desc>
      The IMachine interface represents a virtual machine, or guest, created
      in VirtualBox.

      This interface is used in two contexts. First of all, a collection of
      objects implementing this interface is stored in the
      <link to="IVirtualBox::machines"/> attribute which lists all the virtual
      machines that are currently registered with this VirtualBox
      installation. Also, once a session has been opened for the given virtual
      machine (e.g. the virtual machine is running), the machine object
      associated with the open session can be queried from the session object;
      see <link to="ISession"/> for details.

      The main role of this interface is to expose the settings of the virtual
      machine and provide methods to change various aspects of the virtual
      machine's configuration. For machine objects stored in the
      <link to="IVirtualBox::machines"/> collection, all attributes are
      read-only unless explicitly stated otherwise in individual attribute
      and method descriptions.

      In order to change a machine setting, a session for this machine must be
      opened using one of the <link to="IMachine::lockMachine" /> or
      <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess"/> methods. After the
      machine has been successfully locked for a session, a mutable machine object
      needs to be queried from the session object and then the desired settings
      changes can be applied to the returned object using IMachine attributes and
      methods. See the <link to="ISession"/> interface description for more
      information about sessions.

      Note that IMachine does not provide methods to control virtual machine
      execution (such as start the machine, or power it down) -- these methods
      are grouped in a separate interface called <link to="IConsole" />.

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

        A machine is always deemed accessible unless it is registered <i>and</i>
        its settings file cannot be read or parsed (either because the file itself
        is unavailable or has invalid XML contents).

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

        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="IMachine::unregister"/> call (or, to check
        for the accessibility state once more by querying this
        property).

        <note>
          In the current implementation, once this property returns
          @c true, 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>

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

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

        Starting with VirtualBox 4.0, a ".vbox" extension of the settings
        file is recommended, but not enforced. (Previous versions always
        used a generic ".xml" extension.)

    <method name="lockMachine">
      <rest name="lock" request="post" path="/vms/{vmid}/actions/"/>
      <desc>
        Locks the machine for the given session to enable the caller
        to make changes to the machine or start the VM or control
        VM execution.

        There are two ways to lock a machine for such uses:

        <ul>
          <li>If you want to make changes to the machine settings,
            you must obtain an exclusive write lock on the machine
            by setting @a lockType to @c Write.

            This will only succeed if no other process has locked
            the machine to prevent conflicting changes. Only after
            an exclusive write lock has been obtained using this method, one
            can change all VM settings or execute the VM in the process
            space of the session object. (Note that the latter is only of
            interest if you actually want to write a new front-end for
            virtual machines; but this API gets called internally by
            the existing front-ends such as VBoxHeadless and the VirtualBox
            GUI to acquire a write lock on the machine that they are running.)

            On success, write-locking the machine for a session creates
            a second copy of the IMachine object. It is this second object
            upon which changes can be made; in VirtualBox terminology, the
            second copy is "mutable". It is only this second, mutable machine
            object upon which you can call methods that change the
            machine state. After having called this method, you can
            obtain this second, mutable machine object using the
            <link to="ISession::machine" /> attribute.
          </li>
          <li>If you only want to check the machine state or control
            machine execution without actually changing machine
            settings (e.g. to get access to VM statistics or take
            a snapshot or save the machine state), then set the
            @a lockType argument to @c Shared.

            If no other session has obtained a lock, you will obtain an
            exclusive write lock as described above. However, if another
            session has already obtained such a lock, then a link to that
            existing session will be established which allows you
            to control that existing session.

            To find out which type of lock was obtained, you can
            inspect <link to="ISession::type" />, which will have been
            set to either @c WriteLock or @c Shared.
          </li>
        </ul>

        In either case, you can get access to the <link to="IConsole" />
        object which controls VM execution.

        Also in all of the above cases, one must always call
        <link to="ISession::unlockMachine" /> to release the lock on the machine, or
        the machine's state will eventually be set to "Aborted".

        To change settings on a machine, the following sequence is typically
        performed:

        <ol>
          <li>Call this method to obtain an exclusive write lock for the current session.</li>

          <li>Obtain a mutable IMachine object from <link to="ISession::machine" />.</li>

          <li>Change the settings of the machine by invoking IMachine methods.</li>

          <li>Call <link to="IMachine::saveSettings" />.</li>

          <li>Release the write lock by calling <link to="ISession::unlockMachine"/>.</li>
        </ol>

    <method name="launchVMProcess">
      <rest name="launch" request="post" path="/vms/{vmid}/actions/"/>
      <desc>
        Spawns a new process that will execute the virtual machine and obtains a shared
        lock on the machine for the calling session.

        If launching the VM succeeds, the new VM process will create its own session
        and write-lock the machine for it, preventing conflicting changes from other
        processes. If the machine is already locked (because it is already running or
        because another session has a write lock), launching the VM process will therefore
        fail. Reversely, future attempts to obtain a write lock will also fail while the
        machine is running.

        The caller's session object remains separate from the session opened by the new
        VM process. It receives its own <link to="IConsole" /> object which can be used
        to control machine execution, but it cannot be used to change all VM settings
        which would be available after a <link to="#lockMachine" /> call.

        The caller must eventually release the session's shared lock by calling
        <link to="ISession::unlockMachine" /> on the local session object once this call
        has returned. However, the session's state (see <link to="ISession::state" />)
        will not return to "Unlocked" until the remote session has also unlocked
        the machine (i.e. the machine has stopped running).

        Launching a VM process can take some time (a new VM is started in a new process,
        for which memory and other resources need to be set up). Because of this,
        an <link to="IProgress" /> object is returned to allow the caller to wait
        for this asynchronous operation to be completed. Until then, the caller's
        session object remains in the "Unlocked" state, and its <link to="ISession::machine" />
        and <link to="ISession::console" /> attributes cannot be accessed.
        It is recommended to use <link to="IProgress::waitForCompletion" /> or
        similar calls to wait for completion. Completion is signalled when the VM
        is powered on. If launching the VM fails, error messages can be queried
        via the progress object, if available.

        The progress object will have at least 2 sub-operations. The first
        operation covers the period up to the new VM process calls powerUp.
        The subsequent operations mirror the <link to="IConsole::powerUp"/>
        progress object. Because <link to="IConsole::powerUp"/> may require
        some extra sub-operations, the <link to="IProgress::operationCount"/>
        may change at the completion of operation.

        For details on the teleportation progress operation, see
        <link to="IConsole::powerUp"/>.

        The @a environmentChanges argument is a list of strings where every string contains
        environment variable in the putenv style, i.e. "VAR=VALUE" for setting/replacing
        and "VAR" for unsetting. These environment variables will be applied 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 list is empty, the server
        environment is inherited by the started process as is.

        Attaches a device and optionally mounts a medium to the given storage
        controller (<link to="IStorageController" />, identified by @a name),
        at the indicated port and device.

        This method is intended for managing storage devices in general while a
        machine is powered off. It can be used to attach and detach fixed
        and removable media. The following kind of media can be attached
        to a machine:

        <ul>
          <li>For fixed and removable media, you can pass in a medium that was
            previously opened using <link to="IVirtualBox::openMedium" />.
          </li>

          <li>Only for storage devices supporting removable media (such as
            DVDs and floppies), you can also specify a null pointer to
            indicate an empty drive or one of the medium objects listed
            in the <link to="IHost::DVDDrives" /> and <link to="IHost::floppyDrives"/>
            arrays to indicate a host drive.
            For removable devices, you can also use <link to="IMachine::mountMedium"/>
            to change the media while the machine is running.
          </li>
        </ul>

        In a VM's default configuration of virtual machines, the secondary
        master of the IDE controller is used for a CD/DVD drive.

        After calling this returns successfully, a new instance of
        <link to="IMediumAttachment"/> will appear in the machine's list of medium
        attachments (see <link to="IMachine::mediumAttachments"/>).

        See <link to="IMedium"/> and <link to="IMediumAttachment"/> for more
        information about attaching media.

        The specified device slot must not have a device attached to it,
        or this method will fail.

        <note>
          You cannot attach a device to a newly created machine until
          this machine's settings are saved to disk using
          <link to="#saveSettings"/>.
        </note>
        <note>
          If the medium is being attached indirectly, a new differencing medium
          will implicitly be created for it and attached instead. If the
          changes made to the machine settings (including this indirect
          attachment) are later cancelled using <link to="#discardSettings"/>,
          this implicitly created differencing medium will implicitly
          be deleted.

        Unregisters a machine previously registered with
        <link to="IVirtualBox::registerMachine"/> and optionally do additional
        cleanup before the machine is unregistered.

        This method does not delete any files. It only changes the machine configuration and
        the list of registered machines in the VirtualBox object. To delete the files which
        belonged to the machine, including the XML file of the machine itself, call
        <link to="#deleteConfig"/>, optionally with the array of IMedium objects which was returned
        from this method.

        How thoroughly this method cleans up the machine configuration before unregistering
        the machine depends on the @a cleanupMode argument.

        <ul>
          <li>With "UnregisterOnly", the machine will only be unregistered, but no additional
            cleanup will be performed. The call will fail if the machine has any snapshots or
            any media attached (see <link to="IMediumAttachment" />).  It is the responsibility
            of the caller to delete all such configuration in this mode.  In this mode, the API
            behaves like the former @c IVirtualBox::unregisterMachine() API which it replaces.</li>
          <li>With "DetachAllReturnNone", the call will succeed even if the machine is in "Saved"
            state or if it has snapshots or media attached. All media attached to the current machine
            state or in snapshots will be detached. No medium objects will be returned;
            all of the machine's media will remain open.</li>
          <li>With "DetachAllReturnHardDisksOnly", the call will behave like with "DetachAllReturnNone",
            except that all the hard disk medium objects which were detached from the machine will
            be returned as an array. This allows for quickly passing them to the <link to="#deleteConfig" />
            API for closing and deletion.</li>
          <li>With "Full", the call will behave like with "DetachAllReturnHardDisksOnly", except
            that all media will be returned in the array, including removable media like DVDs and
            floppies. This might be useful if the user wants to inspect in detail which media were
            attached to the machine. Be careful when passing the media array to <link to="#deleteConfig" />
            in that case because users will typically want to preserve ISO and RAW image files.</li>
        </ul>

        A typical implementation will use "DetachAllReturnHardDisksOnly" and then pass the
        resulting IMedium array to <link to="#deleteConfig"/>. This way, the machine is completely
        deleted with all its saved states and hard disk images, but images for removable
        drives (such as ISO and RAW files) will remain on disk.

        This API does not verify whether the media files returned in the array are still
        attached to other machines (i.e. shared between several machines). If such a shared
        image is passed to <link to="#deleteConfig" /> however, closing the image will fail there
        and the image will be silently skipped.

        This API may, however, move media from this machine's media registry to other media
        registries (see <link to="IMedium" /> for details on media registries). For machines
        created with VirtualBox 4.0 or later, if media from this machine's media registry
        are also attached to another machine (shared attachments), each such medium will be
        moved to another machine's registry. This is because without this machine's media
        registry, the other machine cannot find its media any more and would become inaccessible.

        This API implicitly calls <link to="#saveSettings"/> to save all current machine settings
        before unregistering it. It may also silently call <link to="#saveSettings"/> on other machines
        if media are moved to other machines' media registries.

        After successful method invocation, the <link to="IMachineRegisteredEvent"/> event
        is fired.

        The call will fail if the machine is currently locked (see <link to="ISession" />).

        <note>
          If the given machine is inaccessible (see <link to="#accessible"/>), it
          will be unregistered and fully uninitialized right afterwards. As a result,
          the returned machine object will be unusable and an attempt to call
          <b>any</b> method will return the "Object not ready" error.
        </note>

    <method name="deleteConfig">

      <desc>
        Deletes the files associated with this machine from disk. If medium objects are passed
        in with the @a aMedia argument, they are closed and, if closing was successful, their
        storage files are deleted as well. For convenience, this array of media files can be
        the same as the one returned from a previous <link to="#unregister" /> call.

        This method must only be called on machines which are either write-locked (i.e. on instances
        returned by <link to="ISession::machine"/>) or on unregistered machines (i.e. not yet
        registered machines created by <link to="IVirtualBox::createMachine"/> or opened by
        <link to="IVirtualBox::openMachine"/>, or after having called <link to="#unregister"/>).

        The following files will be deleted by this method:
        <ul>
          <li>If <link to="#unregister" /> had been previously called with a @a cleanupMode
            argument other than "UnregisterOnly", this will delete all saved state files that
            the machine had in use; possibly one if the machine was in either the "Saved" or
            "AbortedSaved" state and one for each online snapshot that the machine had.</li>
          <li>On each medium object passed in the @a aMedia array, this will call
            <link to="IMedium::close" />. If that succeeds, this will attempt to delete the
            medium's storage on disk. Since the <link to="IMedium::close"/> call will fail if the medium is still
            in use, e.g. because it is still attached to a second machine; in that case the
            storage will not be deleted.</li>
          <li>Finally, the machine's own XML file will be deleted.</li>
        </ul>

        Since deleting large disk image files can be a time-consuming I/O operation, this
        method operates asynchronously and returns an IProgress object to allow the caller
        to monitor the progress. There will be one sub-operation for each file that is
        being deleted (saved state or medium storage file).

        <note>
          <link to="#settingsModified"/> will return @c true after this
          method successfully returns.

        VM name and the new hardware UUID when creating the target machine. The
        network MAC addresses are newly created for all enabled network

      <desc>
        Saves the current execution state of a running virtual machine
        and stops its execution.

        After this operation completes, the machine will go to the
        Saved state. The 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 media. 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="#saveSettings"/> to save all current machine
          settings (including runtime changes to the DVD medium, etc.).
          Together with the impossibility to change any VM settings when it is
          in the Saved state, this guarantees adequate hardware
          configuration of the machine when it is restored from the saved
          state file.

        This method can be called for a PoweredOff, Saved (see

        Paused virtual machine. When the machine is PoweredOff, an
        offline snapshot is created. When the machine is Running a live
        snapshot is created, and an online snapshot is created when Paused.

        The taken snapshot is always based on the

        of the associated virtual machine and becomes a new current snapshot.

        <note>

    <method name="deleteSnapshot">
      <rest request="delete" path="/vms/{vmid}/actions/"/>
      <desc>
        Starts deleting the specified snapshot asynchronously.
        See <link to="ISnapshot" /> for an introduction to snapshots.

        The execution state and settings of the associated machine stored in
        the snapshot will be deleted. The contents of all differencing media of
        this snapshot will be merged with the contents of their dependent child
        media to keep the medium chain valid (in other words, all changes
        represented by media being deleted will be propagated to their child
        medium). After that, this snapshot's differencing medium will be
        deleted. The parent of this snapshot will become a new parent for all
        its child snapshots.

        If the deleted 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
        media based on media of the deleted snapshot will be also merged as
        described above.

        If the deleted snapshot is the first or current snapshot, then the
        respective IMachine attributes will be adjusted. Deleting the current
        snapshot will also implicitly call <link to="#saveSettings"/>
        to make all current machine settings permanent.

        Deleting a snapshot has the following preconditions:

        <ul>
          <li>Child media of all normal media of the deleted snapshot
          must be accessible (see <link to="IMedium::state"/>) for this
          operation to succeed. If only one running VM refers to all images
          which participates in merging the operation can be performed while
          the VM is running. Otherwise all virtual machines whose media are
          directly or indirectly based on the media of deleted snapshot must
          be powered off. In any case, online snapshot deleting usually is
          slower than the same operation without any running VM.</li>

          <li>You cannot delete the snapshot if a medium attached to it has
          more than one child medium (differencing images) because otherwise
          merging would be impossible. This might be the case if there is
          more than one child snapshot or differencing images were created
          for other reason (e.g. implicitly because of multiple machine
          attachments).</li>
        </ul>

        The virtual machine's <link to="#state">state</link> is
        changed to "DeletingSnapshot", "DeletingSnapshotOnline" or
        "DeletingSnapshotPaused" while this operation is in progress.

        <note>
          Merging medium contents can be very time and disk space
          consuming, if these media are big in size and have many
          children. However, if the snapshot being deleted is the last
          (head) snapshot on the branch, the operation will be rather
          quick.
        </note>

        snapshots. The conditions and many details are the same as with
        <link to="#deleteSnapshot"/>.

        This operation is very fast if the snapshot subtree does not include
        the current state. It is still significantly faster than deleting the
        snapshots one by one if the current state is in the subtree and there
        are more than one snapshots from current state to the snapshot which
        marks the subtree, since it eliminates the incremental image merging.

        Starts deleting the specified snapshot range. This is limited to
        linear snapshot lists, which means there may not be any other child
        snapshots other than the direct sequence between the start and end
        snapshot. If the start and end snapshot point to the same snapshot this
        method is completely equivalent to <link to="#deleteSnapshot"/>. See
        <link to="ISnapshot" /> for an introduction to snapshots. The
        conditions and many details are the same as with
        <link to="#deleteSnapshot"/>.

        This operation is generally faster than deleting snapshots one by one
        and often also needs less extra disk space before freeing up disk space
        by deleting the removed disk images corresponding to the snapshot.

        Starts resetting the machine's current state to the state contained

        After this operation is successfully completed, new empty differencing

        If the given snapshot is an online snapshot, the machine will go to
        the <link to="MachineState_Saved">Saved</link> state, so that the

      The IConsole interface represents an interface to control virtual
      machine execution.

      A console object gets created when a machine has been locked for a
      particular session (client process) using <link to="IMachine::lockMachine" />
      or <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess"/>. The console object can
      then be found in the session's <link to="ISession::console" /> attribute.

      Methods of the IConsole interface allow the caller to query the current
      virtual machine execution state, pause the machine or power it down, save
      the machine state or take a snapshot, attach and detach removable media
      and so on.

          For the process that owns (executes) the VM, this is the
          preferable way of querying the VM state, because no IPC

    <attribute name="sharedFolders" type="ISharedFolder" readonly="yes" safearray="yes">
      <desc>
        Collection of shared folders for the current session. These folders
        are called transient shared folders because they are available to the
        guest OS running inside the associated virtual machine only for the
        duration of the session (as opposed to
        <link to="IMachine::sharedFolders"/> which represent permanent shared
        folders). When the session is closed (e.g. the machine is powered down),
        these folders are automatically discarded.

        New shared folders are added to the collection using
        <link to="#createSharedFolder"/>. Existing shared folders can be
        removed using <link to="#removeSharedFolder"/>.

    <method name="powerUp">
      <rest request="post" path="/vms/{vmid}/console/actions/"/>
      <desc>
        Starts the virtual machine execution using the current machine
        state (that is, its current execution state, current settings and
        current storage devices).

        <note>
          This method is only useful for front-ends that want to actually
          execute virtual machines in their own process (like the VirtualBox
          or VBoxSDL front-ends). Unless you are intending to write such a
          front-end, do not call this method. If you simply want to
          start virtual machine execution using one of the existing front-ends
          (for example the VirtualBox GUI or headless server), use
          <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess"/> instead; these
          front-ends will power up the machine automatically for you.
        </note>

        If the machine is powered off or aborted, the execution will
        start from the beginning (as if the real hardware were just
        powered on).

        If the machine is in the <link to="MachineState_Saved"/> state or the
        <link to="MachineState_AbortedSaved"/> state it will continue its
        execution from the point where the state was saved.

        If the machine <link to="IMachine::teleporterEnabled"/> property is
        enabled on the machine being powered up, the machine will wait for an
        incoming teleportation in the <link to="MachineState_TeleportingIn"/>
        state. The returned progress object will have at least three
        operations where the last three are defined as: (1) powering up and
        starting TCP server, (2) waiting for incoming teleportations, and
        (3) perform teleportation. These operations will be reflected as the
        last three operations of the progress objected returned by
        <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess"/> as well.

      The IHost interface represents the physical machine that this VirtualBox
      installation runs on.

      An object implementing this interface is returned by the
      <link to="IVirtualBox::host" /> attribute. This interface contains
      read-only information about the host's physical hardware (such as what
      processors and disks are available, what the host operating system is,
      and so on) and also allows for manipulating some of the host's hardware,
      such as global USB device filters and host interface networking.

      <desc>
        Full path to the default directory used to create new or open
        existing machines when a machine settings file name contains no
        path.

        Starting with VirtualBox 4.0, by default, this attribute contains
        the full path of folder named "VirtualBox VMs" in the user's
        home directory, which depends on the host platform.

        When setting this attribute, a full path must be specified.
        Setting this property to @c null or an empty string or the
        special value "Machines" (for compatibility reasons) will restore
        that default value.

        If the folder specified herein does not exist, it will be created
        automatically as needed.

    <attribute name="mediumFormats" type="IMediumFormat" safearray="yes" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        List of all medium storage formats supported by this VirtualBox
        installation.

        Keep in mind that the medium format identifier
        (<link to="IMediumFormat::id"/>) used in other API calls like
        <link to="IVirtualBox::createMedium"/> to refer to a particular
        medium format is a case-insensitive string. This means that, for
        example, all of the following strings:
        <pre>
          "VDI"
          "vdi"
          "VdI"</pre>
        refer to the same medium format.

        Note that the virtual medium framework is backend-based, therefore
        the list of supported formats depends on what backends are currently
        installed.

        <see><link to="IMediumFormat"/></see>
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="defaultHardDiskFormat" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Identifier of the default medium format used by VirtualBox.

        The medium format set by this attribute is used by VirtualBox
        when the medium format was not specified explicitly. One example is
        <link to="IVirtualBox::createMedium"/> with the empty
        format argument. A more complex example is implicit creation of
        differencing media when taking a snapshot of a virtual machine:
        this operation will try to use a format of the parent medium first
        and if this format does not support differencing media the default
        format specified by this argument will be used.

        The list of supported medium formats may be obtained by the
        <link to="#mediumFormats"/> call. Note that the default medium
        format must have a capability to create differencing media;
        otherwise operations that create media implicitly may fail
        unexpectedly.

        The initial value of this property is <tt>"VDI"</tt> in the current
        version of the VirtualBox product, but may change in the future.

        <note>
          Setting this property to @c null or empty string will restore the
          initial value.

    <attribute name="VRDEAuthLibrary" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Library that provides authentication for Remote Desktop clients. The library
        is used if a virtual machine's authentication type is set to "external"
        in the VM RemoteDisplay configuration.

        The system library extension (".DLL" or ".so") must be omitted.
        A full path can be specified; if not, then the library must reside on the
        system's default library path.

        The default value of this property is <tt>"VBoxAuth"</tt>. There is a library
        of that name in one of the default VirtualBox library directories.

        For details about VirtualBox authentication libraries and how to implement
        them, please refer to the VirtualBox manual.

        <note>
          Setting this property to @c null or empty string will restore the

      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="webServiceAuthLibrary" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Library that provides authentication for webservice clients. The library
        is used if a virtual machine's authentication type is set to "external"
        in the VM RemoteDisplay configuration and will be called from
        within the <link to="IWebsessionManager::logon" /> implementation.

        As opposed to <link to="ISystemProperties::VRDEAuthLibrary" />,
        there is no per-VM setting for this, as the webservice is a global
        resource (if it is running). Only for this setting (for the webservice),
        setting this value to a literal <tt>"null"</tt> string disables authentication,
        meaning that <link to="IWebsessionManager::logon" /> will always succeed,
        no matter what user name and password are supplied.

        The initial value of this property is <tt>"VBoxAuth"</tt>,
        meaning that the webservice will use the same authentication
        library that is used by default for VRDE (again, see
        <link to="ISystemProperties::VRDEAuthLibrary" />).
        The format and calling convention of authentication libraries
        is the same for the webservice as it is for VRDE.

        <note>
          Setting this property to @c null or empty string will restore the
          initial value.

    <attribute name="defaultCryptoExtPack" type="wstring">

        This attribute is for choosing between multiple extension packs
        providing cryptographic support. If only one is installed, it will automatically be the

    <attribute name="defaultFrontend" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Selects which VM frontend should be used by default when launching
        a VM through the <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess" /> method.
        Empty or @c null strings do not define a particular default, it is up

        description of <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess" /> for the valid
        frontend types.

        This global setting is overridden by the per-VM attribute

        Proxy server URL for the <link to="ProxyMode_Manual" /> proxy mode.

        The format is: [{type}"://"][{userid}[:{password}]@]{server}[":"{port}]

        Valid types are: http (default), https, socks4, socks4a, socks5, socks5h and direct.
        Please note that these are proxy types defining how the proxy operates rather than
        how to proxy any similarly named protocol (i.e. don't confuse a http-proxy with
        proxying the http protocol, as a http-proxy usually can proxy https and other protocols too).

        The port number defaults to 80 for http, 443 for https and 1080 for the socks ones.

        <note>The password is currently stored as plain text!  Use the <link to="ProxyMode_System" />
        mode if you consider the proxy password to be sensitive.</note>

        An empty string will cause the behavior to be identical to <link to="ProxyMode_System" />.
        For compatibility with libproxy, an URL starting with "direct://" will cause
        <link to="ProxyMode_NoProxy" /> behavior.

      A guest session represents one impersonated user account in the guest, so
      every operation will use the same credentials specified when creating
      the session object via <link to="IGuest::createSession"/>.

      There can be a maximum of 32 sessions at once per VM, whereas session 0
      always is reserved for the root session (the root session is part of that
      limit).

      This root session is controlling all other guest sessions and also is
      responsible for actions which require system level privileges.

      Each guest session keeps track of the guest directories and files that
      it opened as well as guest processes it has created.  To work on guest
      files or directories a guest session offers methods to open or create
      such objects (see <link to="IGuestSession::fileOpen"/> or
      <link to="IGuestSession::directoryOpen"/> for instance).  Similarly,
      there a methods for creating guest processes.

      There can be up to 2048 objects (guest processes, files and directories)
      a time per guest session.  Exceeding the limit will result in an error (see
      the corresponding functions for more).

      When done with either of these objects, including the guest session itself,
      use the appropriate close() method to let the object do its cleanup work.

      Closing a session via <link to="IGuestSession::close" /> will try to close
      all the mentioned objects above unless these objects are still used by
      a client.

      A set of environment variables changes is associated with each session
      (<link to="IGuestSession::environmentChanges"/>).  These are applied to
      the base environment of the impersonated guest user when creating a new
      guest process.  For additional flexibility the <link to="IGuestSession::processCreate"/>
      and <link to="IGuestSession::processCreateEx"/> methods allows you to
      specify individual environment changes for each process you create.
      With newer guest addition versions, the base environment is also made
      available via <link to="IGuestSession::environmentBase"/>.  (One reason
      for why we record changes to a base environment instead of working
      directly on an environment block is that we need to be compatible
      with older Guest Additions.  Another reason is that this way it is always
      possible to undo all the changes you've scheduled.)

        and therefore these guests can't be updated in a fully automated fashion
        without user interaction. However, to start a Guest Additions update for
        the mentioned Windows versions anyway, the flag
        AdditionsUpdateFlag_WaitForUpdateStartOnly can be specified. See

  <interface
    name="IProgress" extends="$unknown"

    >
    <desc>
        The IProgress interface is used to track and control
        asynchronous tasks within VirtualBox.

        An instance of this is returned every time VirtualBox starts
        an asynchronous task (in other words, a separate thread) which
        continues to run after a method call returns. For example,
        <link to="IMachine::saveState" />, which saves the state of
        a running virtual machine, can take a long time to complete.
        To be able to display a progress bar, a user interface such as
        the VirtualBox graphical user interface can use the IProgress
        object returned by that method.

        Note that IProgress is a "read-only" interface in the sense
        that only the VirtualBox internals behind the Main API can
        create and manipulate progress objects, whereas client code
        can only use the IProgress object to monitor a task's
        progress and, if <link to="#cancelable" /> is @c true,
        cancel the task by calling <link to="#cancel" />.

        A task represented by IProgress consists of either one or
        several sub-operations that run sequentially, one by one (see
        <link to="#operation" /> and <link to="#operationCount" />).
        Every operation is identified by a number (starting from 0)
        and has a separate description.

        You can find the individual percentage of completion of the current
        operation in <link to="#operationPercent" /> and the
        percentage of completion of the task as a whole
        in <link to="#percent" />.

        Similarly, you can wait for the completion of a particular
        operation via <link to="#waitForOperationCompletion" /> or
        for the completion of the whole task via
        <link to="#waitForCompletion" />.

            the current progress is 0.

            Even if a value is returned, the estimate will be unreliable
            for low progress values. It will become more reliable as the
            task progresses; it is not recommended to display an ETA

  <interface
    name="ISnapshot" extends="$unknown"
    uuid="6cc49055-dad4-4496-85cf-3f76bcb3b5fa"

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

      Together with the differencing media that are created
      when a snapshot is taken, a machine can be brought back to
      the exact state it was in when the snapshot was taken.

      The ISnapshot interface has no methods, only attributes; snapshots
      are controlled through methods of the <link to="IMachine" /> interface
      which also manage the media associated with the snapshot.
      The following operations exist:

      <ul>
          <li><link to="IMachine::takeSnapshot"/> creates a new snapshot
              by creating new, empty differencing images for the machine's
              media and saving the VM settings and (if the VM is running)
              the current VM state in the snapshot.

              The differencing images will then receive all data written to
              the machine's media, while their parent (base) images
              remain unmodified after the snapshot has been taken (see
              <link to="IMedium" /> for details about differencing images).
              This simplifies restoring a machine to the state of a snapshot:
              only the differencing images need to be deleted.

              The current machine state is not changed by taking a snapshot
              except that <link to="IMachine::currentSnapshot" /> is set to
              the newly created snapshot, which is also added to the machine's
              snapshots tree.
          </li>

          <li><link to="IMachine::restoreSnapshot"/> resets a machine to
              the state of a previous snapshot by deleting the differencing
              image of each of the machine's media and setting the machine's
              settings and state to the state that was saved in the snapshot (if any).

              This destroys the machine's current state. After calling this,
              <link to="IMachine::currentSnapshot" /> points to the snapshot
              that was restored.
          </li>

          <li><link to="IMachine::deleteSnapshot"/> deletes a snapshot
              without affecting the current machine state.

              This does not change the current machine state, but instead frees the
              resources allocated when the snapshot was taken: the settings and machine
              state file are deleted (if any), and the snapshot's differencing image for
              each of the machine's media gets merged with its parent image.

              Neither the current machine state nor other snapshots are affected
              by this operation, except that parent media will be modified
              to contain the disk data associated with the snapshot being deleted.

              When deleting the current snapshot, the <link to="IMachine::currentSnapshot" />
              attribute is set to the current snapshot's parent or @c null if it
              has no parent. Otherwise the attribute is unchanged.
          </li>
      </ul>

      Each snapshot contains a copy of virtual machine's settings (hardware
      configuration etc.). This copy is contained in an immutable (read-only)
      instance of <link to="IMachine" /> which is available from the snapshot's
      <link to="#machine" /> attribute. When restoring the snapshot, these
      settings are copied back to the original machine.

      In addition, if the machine was running when the
      snapshot was taken (<link to="IMachine::state"/> is <link to="MachineState_Running"/>),
      the current VM state is saved in the snapshot (similarly to what happens
      when a VM's state is saved). The snapshot is then said to be <i>online</i>
      because when restoring it, the VM will be running.

      If the machine was in the <link to="MachineState_Saved">Saved</link> or
      <link to="MachineState_AbortedSaved">AbortedSaved</link> state, the snapshot
      receives a copy of the execution state file (<link to="IMachine::stateFilePath"/>).

      Otherwise, if the machine was not running (<link to="MachineState_PoweredOff"/>
      or <link to="MachineState_Aborted"/>), the snapshot is <i>offline</i>;
      it then contains a so-called "zero execution state", representing a
      machine that is powered off.

      The IMediumAttachment interface links storage media to virtual machines.
      For each medium (<link to="IMedium"/>) which has been attached to a
      storage controller (<link to="IStorageController"/>) of a machine
      (<link to="IMachine"/>) via the <link to="IMachine::attachDevice" />
      method, one instance of IMediumAttachment is added to the machine's
      <link to="IMachine::mediumAttachments"/> array attribute.

      Each medium attachment specifies the storage controller as well as a
      port and device number and the IMedium instance representing a virtual
      hard disk or floppy or DVD image.

      For removable media (DVDs or floppies), there are two additional
      options. For one, the IMedium instance can be @c null to represent
      an empty drive with no media inserted (see <link to="IMachine::mountMedium" />);
      secondly, the medium can be one of the pseudo-media for host drives
      listed in <link to="IHost::DVDDrives"/> or <link to="IHost::floppyDrives"/>.

      <h3>Attaching Hard Disks</h3>

      Hard disks are attached to virtual machines using the
      <link to="IMachine::attachDevice"/> method and detached using the
      <link to="IMachine::detachDevice"/> method. Depending on a medium's
      type (see <link to="IMedium::type" />), hard disks are attached either
      <i>directly</i> or <i>indirectly</i>.

      When a hard disk is being attached directly, it is associated with the
      virtual machine and used for hard disk operations when the machine is
      running. When a hard disk is being attached indirectly, a new differencing
      hard disk linked to it is implicitly created and this differencing hard
      disk is associated with the machine and used for hard disk operations.
      This also means that if <link to="IMachine::attachDevice"/> performs
      a direct attachment then the same hard disk will be returned in response
      to the subsequent <link to="IMachine::getMedium"/> call; however if
      an indirect attachment is performed then
      <link to="IMachine::getMedium"/> will return the implicitly created
      differencing hard disk, not the original one passed to <link
      to="IMachine::attachDevice"/>. In detail:

      <ul>
        <li><b>Normal base</b> hard disks that do not have children (i.e.
            differencing hard disks linked to them) and that are not already
            attached to virtual machines in snapshots are attached <b>directly</b>.
            Otherwise, they are attached <b>indirectly</b> because having
            dependent children or being part of the snapshot makes it impossible
            to modify hard disk contents without breaking the integrity of the
            dependent party. The <link to="IMedium::readOnly"/> attribute allows to
            quickly determine the kind of the attachment for the given hard
            disk. Note that if a normal base hard disk is to be indirectly
            attached to a virtual machine with snapshots then a special
            procedure called <i>smart attachment</i> is performed (see below).</li>
        <li><b>Normal differencing</b> hard disks are like normal base hard disks:
            they are attached <b>directly</b> if they do not have children and are
            not attached to virtual machines in snapshots, and <b>indirectly</b>
            otherwise. Note that the smart attachment procedure is never performed
            for differencing hard disks.</li>
        <li><b>Immutable</b> hard disks are always attached <b>indirectly</b> because
            they are designed to be non-writable. If an immutable hard disk is
            attached to a virtual machine with snapshots then a special
            procedure called smart attachment is performed (see below).</li>
        <li><b>Writethrough</b> hard disks are always attached <b>directly</b>,
            also as designed. This also means that writethrough hard disks cannot
            have other hard disks linked to them at all.</li>
        <li><b>Shareable</b> hard disks are always attached <b>directly</b>,
            also as designed. This also means that shareable hard disks cannot
            have other hard disks linked to them at all. They behave almost
            like writethrough hard disks, except that shareable hard disks can
            be attached to several virtual machines which are running, allowing
            concurrent accesses. You need special cluster software running in
            the virtual machines to make use of such disks.</li>
      </ul>

      Note that the same hard disk, regardless of its type, may be attached to
      more than one virtual machine at a time. In this case, the machine that is
      started first gains exclusive access to the hard disk and attempts to
      start other machines having this hard disk attached will fail until the
      first machine is powered down.

      Detaching hard disks is performed in a <i>deferred</i> fashion. This means
      that the given hard disk remains associated with the given machine after a
      successful <link to="IMachine::detachDevice"/> call until
      <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/> is called to save all changes to
      machine settings to disk. This deferring is necessary to guarantee that
      the hard disk configuration may be restored at any time by a call to
      <link to="IMachine::discardSettings"/> before the settings
      are saved (committed).

      Note that if <link to="IMachine::discardSettings"/> is called after
      indirectly attaching some hard disks to the machine but before a call to
      <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/> is made, it will implicitly delete
      all differencing hard disks implicitly created by
      <link to="IMachine::attachDevice"/> for these indirect attachments.
      Such implicitly created hard disks will also be immediately deleted when
      detached explicitly using the <link to="IMachine::detachDevice"/>
      call if it is made before <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/>. This
      implicit deletion is safe because newly created differencing hard
      disks do not contain any user data.

      However, keep in mind that detaching differencing hard disks that were
      implicitly created by <link to="IMachine::attachDevice"/>
      before the last <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/> call will
      <b>not</b> implicitly delete them as they may already contain some data
      (for example, as a result of virtual machine execution). If these hard
      disks are no more necessary, the caller can always delete them explicitly
      using <link to="IMedium::deleteStorage"/> after they are actually de-associated
      from this machine by the <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/> call.

      <h3>Smart Attachment</h3>

      When normal base or immutable hard disks are indirectly attached to a
      virtual machine then some additional steps are performed to make sure the
      virtual machine will have the most recent "view" of the hard disk being
      attached. These steps include walking through the machine's snapshots
      starting from the current one and going through ancestors up to the first
      snapshot. Hard disks attached to the virtual machine in all
      of the encountered snapshots are checked whether they are descendants of
      the given normal base or immutable hard disk. The first found child (which
      is the differencing hard disk) will be used instead of the normal base or
      immutable hard disk as a parent for creating a new differencing hard disk
      that will be actually attached to the machine. And only if no descendants
      are found or if the virtual machine does not have any snapshots then the
      normal base or immutable hard disk will be used itself as a parent for
      this differencing hard disk.

      It is easier to explain what smart attachment does using the
      following example:
      <pre>
BEFORE attaching B.vdi:       AFTER attaching B.vdi:

Snapshot 1 (B.vdi)            Snapshot 1 (B.vdi)
 Snapshot 2 (D1->B.vdi)        Snapshot 2 (D1->B.vdi)
  Snapshot 3 (D2->D1.vdi)       Snapshot 3 (D2->D1.vdi)
   Snapshot 4 (none)             Snapshot 4 (none)
    CurState   (none)             CurState   (D3->D2.vdi)

                              NOT
                                 ...
                                  CurState   (D3->B.vdi)
      </pre>
      The first column is the virtual machine configuration before the base hard
      disk <tt>B.vdi</tt> is attached, the second column shows the machine after
      this hard disk is attached. Constructs like <tt>D1->B.vdi</tt> and similar
      mean that the hard disk that is actually attached to the machine is a
      differencing hard disk, <tt>D1.vdi</tt>, which is linked to (based on)
      another hard disk, <tt>B.vdi</tt>.

      As we can see from the example, the hard disk <tt>B.vdi</tt> was detached
      from the machine before taking Snapshot 4. Later, after Snapshot 4 was
      taken, the user decides to attach <tt>B.vdi</tt> again. <tt>B.vdi</tt> has
      dependent child hard disks (<tt>D1.vdi</tt>, <tt>D2.vdi</tt>), therefore
      it cannot be attached directly and needs an indirect attachment (i.e.
      implicit creation of a new differencing hard disk). Due to the smart
      attachment procedure, the new differencing hard disk
      (<tt>D3.vdi</tt>) will be based on <tt>D2.vdi</tt>, not on
      <tt>B.vdi</tt> itself, since <tt>D2.vdi</tt> is the most recent view of
      <tt>B.vdi</tt> existing for this snapshot branch of the given virtual
      machine.

      Note that if there is more than one descendant hard disk of the given base
      hard disk found in a snapshot, and there is an exact device, channel and
      bus match, then this exact match will be used. Otherwise, the youngest
      descendant will be picked up.

      There is one more important aspect of the smart attachment procedure which
      is not related to snapshots at all. Before walking through the snapshots
      as described above, the backup copy of the current list of hard disk
      attachment is searched for descendants. This backup copy is created when
      the hard disk configuration is changed for the first time after the last
      <link to="IMachine::saveSettings"/> call and used by
      <link to="IMachine::discardSettings"/> to undo the recent hard disk
      changes. When such a descendant is found in this backup copy, it will be
      simply re-attached back, without creating a new differencing hard disk for
      it. This optimization is necessary to make it possible to re-attach the
      base or immutable hard disk to a different bus, channel or device slot
      without losing the contents of the differencing hard disk actually
      attached to the machine in place of it.

      The IMedium interface represents virtual storage for a machine's
      hard disks, CD/DVD or floppy drives. It will typically represent
      a disk image on the host, for example a VDI or VMDK file representing
      a virtual hard disk, or an ISO or RAW file representing virtual
      removable media, but can also point to a network location (e.g.
      for iSCSI targets).

      Instances of IMedium are connected to virtual machines by way of medium
      attachments, which link the storage medium to a particular device slot
      of a storage controller of the virtual machine.
      In the VirtualBox API, virtual storage is therefore always represented
      by the following chain of object links:

      <ul>
        <li><link to="IMachine::storageControllers"/> contains an array of
          storage controllers (IDE, SATA, SCSI, SAS or a floppy controller;
          these are instances of <link to="IStorageController"/>).</li>
        <li><link to="IMachine::mediumAttachments"/> contains an array of
          medium attachments (instances of <link to="IMediumAttachment"/>
          created by <link to="IMachine::attachDevice" />),
          each containing a storage controller from the above array, a
          port/device specification, and an instance of IMedium representing
          the medium storage (image file).

          For removable media, the storage medium is optional; a medium
          attachment with no medium represents a CD/DVD or floppy drive
          with no medium inserted. By contrast, hard disk attachments
          will always have an IMedium object attached.</li>
        <li>Each IMedium in turn points to a storage unit (such as a file
          on the host computer or a network resource) that holds actual
          data. This location is represented by the <link to="#location"/>
          attribute.</li>
      </ul>

      Existing media are opened using <link to="IVirtualBox::openMedium"/>;
      new hard disk media can be created with the VirtualBox API using the
      <link to="IVirtualBox::createMedium"/> method. Differencing hard
      disks (see below) are usually implicitly created by VirtualBox as
      needed, but may also be created explicitly using <link to="#createDiffStorage"/>.
      VirtualBox cannot create CD/DVD or floppy images (ISO and RAW files); these
      should be created with external tools and then opened from within VirtualBox.

      Only for CD/DVDs and floppies, an IMedium instance can also represent a host
      drive. In that case the <link to="#id" /> attribute contains the UUID of
      one of the drives in <link to="IHost::DVDDrives" /> or <link to="IHost::floppyDrives" />.

      <h3>Media registries</h3>

      When a medium has been opened or created using one of the aforementioned
      APIs, it becomes "known" to VirtualBox. Known media can be attached
      to virtual machines and re-found through <link to="IVirtualBox::openMedium"/>.
      They also appear in the global
      <link to="IVirtualBox::hardDisks" />,
      <link to="IVirtualBox::DVDImages" /> and
      <link to="IVirtualBox::floppyImages" /> arrays.

      Prior to VirtualBox 4.0, opening a medium added it to a global media registry
      in the VirtualBox.xml file, which was shared between all machines and made
      transporting machines and their media from one host to another difficult.

      Starting with VirtualBox 4.0, media are only added to a registry when they are
      <i>attached</i> to a machine using <link to="IMachine::attachDevice" />. For
      backwards compatibility, which registry a medium is added to depends on which
      VirtualBox version created a machine:

      <ul>
        <li>If the medium has first been attached to a machine which was created by
          VirtualBox 4.0 or later, it is added to that machine's media registry in
          the machine XML settings file. This way all information about a machine's
          media attachments is contained in a single file and can be transported
          easily.</li>
        <li>For older media attachments (i.e. if the medium was first attached to a
          machine which was created with a VirtualBox version before 4.0), media
          continue to be registered in the global VirtualBox settings file, for
          backwards compatibility.</li>
      </ul>

      See <link to="IVirtualBox::openMedium" /> for more information.

      Media are removed from media registries by the <link to="IMedium::close"/>,
      <link to="#deleteStorage"/> and <link to="#mergeTo"/> methods.

      <h3>Accessibility checks</h3>

      VirtualBox defers media accessibility checks until the <link to="#refreshState" />
      method is called explicitly on a medium. This is done to make the VirtualBox object
      ready for serving requests as fast as possible and let the end-user
      application decide if it needs to check media accessibility right away or not.

      As a result, when VirtualBox starts up (e.g. the VirtualBox
      object gets created for the first time), all known media are in the
      "Inaccessible" state, but the value of the <link to="#lastAccessError"/>
      attribute is an empty string because no actual accessibility check has
      been made yet.

      After calling <link to="#refreshState" />, a medium is considered
      <i>accessible</i> if its storage unit can be read. In that case, the
      <link to="#state"/> attribute has a value of "Created". If the storage
      unit cannot be read (for example, because it is located on a disconnected
      network resource, or was accidentally deleted outside VirtualBox),
      the medium is considered <i>inaccessible</i>, which is indicated by the
      "Inaccessible" state. The exact reason why the medium is inaccessible can be
      obtained by reading the <link to="#lastAccessError"/> attribute.

      <h3>Medium types</h3>

      There are five types of medium behavior which are stored in the
      <link to="#type"/> attribute (see <link to="MediumType" />) and
      which define the medium's behavior with attachments and snapshots.

      All media can be also divided in two groups: <i>base</i> media and
      <i>differencing</i> media. A base medium contains all sectors of the
      medium data in its own storage and therefore can be used independently.
      In contrast, a differencing medium is a "delta" to some other medium and
      contains only those sectors which differ from that other medium, which is
      then called a <i>parent</i>. The differencing medium is said to be
      <i>linked to</i> that parent. The parent may be itself a differencing
      medium, thus forming a chain of linked media. The last element in that
      chain must always be a base medium. Note that several differencing
      media may be linked to the same parent medium.

      Differencing media can be distinguished from base media by querying the
      <link to="#parent"/> attribute: base media do not have parents they would
      depend on, so the value of this attribute is always @c null for them.
      Using this attribute, it is possible to walk up the medium tree (from the
      child medium to its parent). It is also possible to walk down the tree
      using the <link to="#children"/> attribute.

      Note that the type of all differencing media is "normal"; all other
      values are meaningless for them. Base media may be of any type.

      <h3>Automatic composition of the file name part</h3>

      Another extension to the <link to="IMedium::location"/> attribute is that
      there is a possibility to cause VirtualBox to compose a unique value for
      the file name part of the location using the UUID of the hard disk. This
      applies only to hard disks in <link to="MediumState_NotCreated"/> state,
      e.g. before the storage unit is created, and works as follows. You set the
      value of the <link to="IMedium::location"/> attribute to a location
      specification which only contains the path specification but not the file
      name part and ends with either a forward slash or a backslash character.
      In response, VirtualBox will generate a new UUID for the hard disk and
      compose the file name using the following pattern:
      <pre>
        &lt;path&gt;/{&lt;uuid&gt;}.&lt;ext&gt;
      </pre>
      where <tt>&lt;path&gt;</tt> is the supplied path specification,
      <tt>&lt;uuid&gt;</tt> is the newly generated UUID and <tt>&lt;ext&gt;</tt>
      is the default extension for the storage format of this hard disk. After
      that, you may call any of the methods that create a new hard disk storage
      unit and they will use the generated UUID and file name.
    </desc>

    <attribute name="id" type="uuid" mod="string" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        UUID of the medium. For a newly created medium, this value is a randomly
        generated UUID.

        <note>
          For media in one of MediumState_NotCreated, MediumState_Creating or
          MediumState_Deleting states, the value of this property is undefined
          and will most likely be an empty UUID.
        </note>
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="description" type="wstring" wrap-hint-server="passcaller">
      <desc>
        Optional description of the medium. For a newly created medium the value
        of this attribute is an empty string.

        Medium types that don't support this attribute will return E_NOTIMPL in
        attempt to get or set this attribute's value.

        <note>
          For some storage types, reading this attribute may return an outdated
          (last known) value when <link to="#state"/> is <link
          to="MediumState_Inaccessible"/> or <link
          to="MediumState_LockedWrite"/> because the value of this attribute is
          stored within the storage unit itself. Also note that changing the
          attribute value is not possible in such case, as well as when the
          medium is the <link to="MediumState_LockedRead"/> state.

    <attribute name="state" type="MediumState" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Returns the current medium state, which is the last state set by
        the accessibility check performed by <link to="#refreshState"/>.
        If that method has not yet been called on the medium, the state
        is "Inaccessible"; as opposed to truly inaccessible media, the
        value of <link to="#lastAccessError"/> will be an empty string in
        that case.

        Location of the storage unit holding medium data.

        types using regular files in a host's file system, the location
        string is the full file name.
      </desc>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="name" type="wstring" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Name of the storage unit holding medium data.

        The returned string is a short version of the <link to="#location"/>
        attribute that is suitable for representing the medium in situations
        where the full location specification is too long (such as lists
        and comboboxes in GUI frontends). This string is also used by frontends
        to sort the media list alphabetically when needed.

        For example, for locations that are regular files in the host's file
        system, the value of this attribute is just the file name (+ extension),
        without the path specification.

        Note that as opposed to the <link to="#location"/> attribute, the name
        attribute will not necessary be unique for a list of media of the
        given type and format.

        A medium is considered to be read-only when its contents cannot be
        modified without breaking the integrity of other parties that depend on
        this medium such as its child media or snapshots of virtual machines

      <desc>
        If the current medium state (see <link to="MediumState"/>) is one of
        "Created", "Inaccessible" or "LockedRead", then this performs an
        accessibility check on the medium and sets the value of the <link to="#state"/>
        attribute accordingly; that value is also returned for convenience.

        For all other state values, this does not perform a refresh but returns
        the state only.

        The refresh, if performed, may take a long time (several seconds or even
        minutes, depending on the storage unit location and format) because it performs an
        accessibility check of the storage unit. This check may cause a significant
        delay if the storage unit of the given medium is, for example, a file located
        on a network share which is not currently accessible due to connectivity
        problems. In that case, the call will not return until a timeout
        interval defined by the host OS for this operation expires. For this reason,
        it is recommended to never read this attribute on the main UI thread to avoid
        making the UI unresponsive.

        If the last known state of the medium is "Created" and the accessibility
        check fails, then the state would be set to "Inaccessible", and
        <link to="#lastAccessError"/> may be used to get more details about the
        failure. If the state of the medium is "LockedRead", then it remains the
        same, and a non-empty value of <link to="#lastAccessError"/> will
        indicate a failed accessibility check in this case.

        snapshot IDs (if any).

        If the medium is not attached to the machine in the current state, then
        the array will contain only snapshot IDs.

        The returned array may be @c null if this medium is not attached

    <method name="lockRead">
      <rest request="post" path="/media/{mediumid}/configuration/"/>
      <desc>
        Locks this medium for reading.

        A read lock is shared: many clients can simultaneously lock the
        same medium for reading unless it is already locked for writing (see
        <link to="#lockWrite"/>) in which case an error is returned.

        When the medium is locked for reading, it cannot be modified
        from within VirtualBox. This means that any method that changes
        the properties of this medium or contents of the storage unit
        will return an error (unless explicitly stated otherwise). That
        includes an attempt to start a virtual machine that wants to
        write to the medium.

        When the virtual machine is started up, it locks for reading all
        media it uses in read-only mode. If some medium cannot be locked
        for reading, the startup procedure will fail.
        A medium is typically locked for reading while it is used by a running
        virtual machine but has a depending differencing image that receives
        the actual write operations. This way one base medium can have
        multiple child differencing images which can be written to
        simultaneously. Read-only media such as DVD and floppy images are
        also locked for reading only (so they can be in use by multiple
        machines simultaneously).

        A medium is also locked for reading when it is the source of a
        write operation such as <link to="#cloneTo"/> or <link to="#mergeTo"/>.

        The medium locked for reading must be unlocked by abandoning the
        returned token object, see <link to="IToken"/>. Calls to
        <link to="#lockRead"/> can be nested and the lock is actually released
        when all callers have abandoned the token.

        This method sets the medium state (see <link to="#state"/>) to
        "LockedRead" on success. The medium's previous state must be
        one of "Created", "Inaccessible" or "LockedRead".

        Locking an inaccessible medium is not an error; this method performs
        a logical lock that prevents modifications of this medium through
        the VirtualBox API, not a physical file-system lock of the underlying
        storage unit.

        This method returns the current state of the medium
        <i>before</i> the operation.

    <method name="lockWrite">
      <rest request="post" path="/media/{mediumid}/configuration/"/>
      <desc>
        Locks this medium for writing.

        A write lock, as opposed to <link to="#lockRead"/>, is
        exclusive: there may be only one client holding a write lock,
        and there may be no read locks while the write lock is held.
        As a result, read-locking fails if a write lock is held, and
        write-locking fails if either a read or another write lock is held.

        When a medium is locked for writing, it cannot be modified
        from within VirtualBox, and it is not guaranteed that the values
        of its properties are up-to-date. Any method that changes the
        properties of this medium or contents of the storage unit will
        return an error (unless explicitly stated otherwise).

        When a virtual machine is started up, it locks for writing all
        media it uses to write data to. If any medium could not be locked
        for writing, the startup procedure will fail. If a medium has
        differencing images, then while the machine is running, only
        the last ("leaf") differencing image is locked for writing,
        whereas its parents are locked for reading only.

        A medium is also locked for writing when it is the target of a
        write operation such as <link to="#cloneTo"/> or <link to="#mergeTo"/>.

        The medium locked for writing must be unlocked by abandoning the
        returned token object, see <link to="IToken"/>. Write locks
        <i>cannot</i> be nested.

        This method sets the medium state (see <link to="#state"/>) to
        "LockedWrite" on success. The medium's previous state must be
        either "Created" or "Inaccessible".

        Locking an inaccessible medium is not an error; this method performs
        a logical lock that prevents modifications of this medium through
        the VirtualBox API, not a physical file-system lock of the underlying
        storage unit.

        The medium must not be attached to any known virtual machine
        and must not have any known child media, otherwise the
        operation will fail.

        When the medium is successfully closed, it is removed from
        the list of registered media, but its storage unit is not
        deleted. In particular, this means that this medium can
        later be opened again using the <link to="IVirtualBox::openMedium"/>
        call.

        Note that after this method successfully returns, the given medium
        object becomes uninitialized. This means that any attempt

        Returns values for a group of properties in one call.

        The names of the properties to get are specified using the @a names
        argument which is a list of comma-separated property names or

        The method returns two arrays, the array of property names corresponding

        Both arrays have the same number of elements with each element at the
        given index in the first array corresponds to an element at the same

        The names of the properties to set are passed in the @a names
        array along with the new values for them in the @a values array. Both
        arrays have the same number of elements with each element at the given
        index in the first array corresponding to an element at the same index
        in the second array.

        If there is at least one property name in @a names that is not valid,
        the method will fail before changing the values of any other properties
        from the @a names array.

        Using this method over <link to="#setProperty"/> is preferred if you

        Starts deleting the storage unit of this medium.

        The medium must not be attached to any known virtual machine and must
        not have any known child media, otherwise the operation will fail.
        It will also fail if there is no storage unit to delete or if deletion
        is already in progress, or if the medium is being in use (locked for
        read or for write) or inaccessible. Therefore, the only valid state for
        this operation to succeed is <link to="MediumState_Created"/>.

        Before the operation starts, the medium is placed in
        <link to="MediumState_Deleting"/> state and gets removed from the list
        of remembered hard disks (media registry). If the delete operation
        fails, the medium will be remembered again and placed back to

        The target medium must be in <link to="MediumState_NotCreated"/>
        state (i.e. must not have an existing storage unit). Upon successful
        completion, this operation will set the type of the target medium to

    <method name="mergeTo">
      <rest request="post" path="/media/{mediumid}/actions/"/>
      <desc>
        Starts merging the contents of this medium and all intermediate
        differencing media in the chain to the given target medium.

        The target medium must be either a descendant of this medium or
        its ancestor (otherwise this method will immediately return a failure).
        It follows that there are two logical directions of the merge operation:
        from ancestor to descendant (<i>forward merge</i>) and from descendant to
        ancestor (<i>backward merge</i>). Let us consider the following medium
        chain:

        <pre>Base &lt;- Diff_1 &lt;- Diff_2</pre>

        Here, calling this method on the <tt>Base</tt> medium object with
        <tt>Diff_2</tt> as an argument will be a forward merge; calling it on
        <tt>Diff_2</tt> with <tt>Base</tt> as an argument will be a backward
        merge. Note that in both cases the contents of the resulting medium
        will be the same, the only difference is the medium object that takes
        the result of the merge operation. In case of the forward merge in the
        above example, the result will be written to <tt>Diff_2</tt>; in case of
        the backward merge, the result will be written to <tt>Base</tt>. In
        other words, the result of the operation is always stored in the target
        medium.

        Upon successful operation completion, the storage units of all media in
        the chain between this (source) medium and the target medium, including
        the source medium itself, will be automatically deleted and the
        relevant medium objects (including this medium) will become
        uninitialized. This means that any attempt to call any of
        their methods or attributes will fail with the
        <tt>"Object not ready" (E_ACCESSDENIED)</tt> error. Applied to the above
        example, the forward merge of <tt>Base</tt> to <tt>Diff_2</tt> will
        delete and uninitialize both <tt>Base</tt> and <tt>Diff_1</tt> media.
        Note that <tt>Diff_2</tt> in this case will become a base medium
        itself since it will no longer be based on any other medium.

        Considering the above, all of the following conditions must be met in
        order for the merge operation to succeed:
        <ul>
          <li>
            Neither this (source) medium nor any intermediate
            differencing medium in the chain between it and the target
            medium is attached to any virtual machine.
          </li>
          <li>
            Neither the source medium nor the target medium is an
            <link to="MediumType_Immutable"/> medium.
          </li>
          <li>
            The part of the medium tree from the source medium to the
            target medium is a linear chain, i.e. all medium in this
            chain have exactly one child which is the next medium in this
            chain. The only exception from this rule is the target medium in
            the forward merge operation; it is allowed to have any number of
            child media because the merge operation will not change its
            logical contents (as it is seen by the guest OS or by children).
          </li>
          <li>
            None of the involved media are in
            <link to="MediumState_LockedRead"/> or
            <link to="MediumState_LockedWrite"/> state.
          </li>
        </ul>

        <note>
          This (source) medium and all intermediates will be placed to <link
          to="MediumState_Deleting"/> state and the target medium will be
          placed to <link to="MediumState_LockedWrite"/> state and for the
          duration of this operation.

        Starts creating a clone of this medium in the format and at the

        The target medium must be either in <link to="MediumState_NotCreated"/>
        state (i.e. must not have an existing storage unit) or in
        <link to="MediumState_Created"/> state (i.e. created and not locked, and
        big enough to hold the data or else the copy will be partial). Upon
        successful completion, the cloned medium will contain exactly the
        same sector data as the medium being cloned, except that in the
        first case a new UUID for the clone will be randomly generated, and in
        the second case the UUID will remain unchanged.

        The @a parent argument defines which medium will be the parent
        of the clone. Passing a @c null reference indicates that the clone will
        be a base image, i.e. completely independent. It is possible to specify
        an arbitrary medium for this parameter, including the parent of the
        medium which is being cloned. Even cloning to a child of the source

    After the returned progress object reports that the operation is
    successfully complete, the target medium gets remembered by this
    VirtualBox installation and may be attached to virtual machines.

      <desc>
        Changes the location of this medium. Some medium types may support
        changing the storage unit location by simply changing the value of the
        associated property. In this case the operation is performed
        immediately, and @a progress is returning a @c null reference.
        Otherwise on success there is a progress object returned, which
        signals progress and completion of the operation. This distinction is
        necessary because for some formats the operation is very fast, while
        for others it can be very slow (moving the image file by copying all
        data), and in the former case it'd be a waste of resources to create
        a progress object which will immediately signal completion.

        When setting a location for a medium which corresponds to a/several
        regular file(s) in the host's file system, the given file name may be
        either relative to the <link to="IVirtualBox::homeFolder">VirtualBox
        home folder</link> or absolute. Note that if the given location
        specification does not contain the file extension part then a proper
        default extension will be automatically appended by the implementation
        depending on the medium type.

        Starts compacting of this medium. This means that the medium is
        transformed into a possibly more compact storage representation.
        This potentially creates temporary images, which can require a
        substantial amount of additional disk space.

        does not make any assumptions about the medium contents.

        Resizing usually needs additional disk space, and possibly also
        some temporary disk space. Note that resize does not create a full
        temporary copy of the medium, so the additional disk space requirement
        is usually much lower than using the clone operation.

        The IMediumFormat interface represents a medium format.

        Each medium format has an associated backend which is used to handle
        media stored in this format. This interface provides information
        about the properties of the associated backend.

        Each medium format is identified by a string represented by the
        <link to="#id"/> attribute. This string is used in calls like
        <link to="IVirtualBox::createMedium"/> to specify the desired
        format.

        The list of all supported medium formats can be obtained using
        <link to="ISystemProperties::mediumFormats"/>.

    </desc>

    <attribute name="id" type="wstring" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Identifier of this format.

        The format identifier is a non-@c null non-empty ASCII string. Note that
        this string is case-insensitive. This means that, for example, all of
        the following strings:
        <pre>

          "vdi"
          "VdI"</pre>

        Returns the virtual file system explorer for the medium.

        This will attempt to recognize the format of the medium content and
        present it as a virtual directory structure to the API user.

        A FAT floppy image will be represented will a single root subdir 'fat12'
        that gives access to the file system content.

        A ISO-9660 image will have one subdir in the root for each format present
        in the image, so the API user can select which data view to access (iso9660,
        rockridge, joliet, udf, hfs, ...).

        A partitioned harddisk image will have subdirs for each partition.  The
        the filesystem content of each partition can be accessed thru the subdirs
        if we have a file system interpreter for it.  There will also be raw files
        for each subdirectory, to provide a simple way of accessing raw partition
        data from an API client.

        Please note that the explorer may show inconsistent information if
        the API user modifies the raw image content after it was opened.

        Shape bitmaps.

        The @a shape buffer contains a 1bpp (bits per pixel) AND mask
        followed by a 32bpp 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.

        An AND mask is provided for pointers with alpha channel, so if the
        client does not support alpha, the pointer could be
        displayed as a normal color pointer.

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

        The XOR mask follows the AND mask on the next 4-byte aligned
        offset: <tt>uint8_t *pu8Xor = pu8And + (cbAnd + 3) &amp; ~3</tt>.
        Bytes in the gap between the AND and the XOR mask are undefined.
        The XOR mask scanlines have no gap between them and the size of
        the XOR mask is: <tt>cbXor = width * 4 * height</tt>.

        <note>
          If @a shape size is 0, then the shape is not known or did not change.
          This can happen if only the pointer visibility is changed.

      The IDisplay interface represents the virtual machine's display.

      The object implementing this interface is contained in each
      <link to="IConsole::display"/> attribute and represents the visual
      output of the virtual machine.

      The virtual display supports pluggable output targets represented by the
      IFramebuffer interface. Examples of the output target are a window on
      the host computer or an RDP session's display on a remote computer.

        Changes the monitor information reported by a given output of the guest

        drivers and driver tools are available, including but not limited to
        those in the Guest Additions.  The guest will receive monitor hotplug
        notification when the monitor information is changed, and the
        information itself will be available to the guest until the next change.
        The information should not be resent if the guest does not resize in

        resize might happen later when a suitable driver is started.

        Specifying @c 0 for either @a width, @a height or @a bitsPerPixel

      The ISerialPort interface represents the virtual serial port device.

      The virtual serial port device acts like an ordinary serial port
      inside the virtual machine. This device communicates to the real
      serial port hardware in one of two modes: host pipe or host device.

      In host pipe mode, the #path attribute specifies the path to the pipe on
      the host computer that represents a serial port. The #server attribute
      determines if this pipe is created by the virtual machine process at
      machine startup or it must already exist before starting machine
      execution.

      In host device mode, the #path attribute specifies the name of the
      serial port device on the host computer.

      There is also a third communication mode: the disconnected mode. In this
      mode, the guest OS running inside the virtual machine will be able to
      detect the serial port, but all port write operations will be discarded
      and all port read operations will return no data.

    <desc>
      The IUSBDeviceFilter interface represents a USB device filter used
      to perform actions on one or more USB devices.

      USB device filters are 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 a specific device filter if and only if all
      attributes of the device filter match the corresponding attributes of the
      device (that is, attributes are joined together using a logical AND
      operation). On the other hand filter attributes in separate USB
      device filters are applied as a logical OR operation. So if one
      would like to create a match such as "this vendor id OR this product id",
      then one would need to create two filters and specify "any match" (see below)
      for the other unused attributes.

      All filter attributes used for matching are strings.  The following
      filtering expressions are currently supported:

      <ul>
        <li><i>Interval filters</i>. Used to specify valid intervals for
          integer device attributes (Vendor ID, Product ID, Revision and Port).
          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 with <tt>0</tt>), hexadecimal (starting with <tt>0x</tt>)
          or decimal (otherwise), so that <tt>m &lt; n</tt>. If <tt>m</tt>
          is omitted before a dash (<tt>-</tt>), the minimum possible integer
          is assumed; if <tt>n</tt> is omitted after a dash, the maximum
          possible integer is assumed.
        </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 doesn't start with <tt>int:</tt>
          represents an exact match. String device attributes are compared to
          this string in a case-sensitive manner. Integer attributes are first
          converted to a string (see individual filter attributes) and then
          compared in a case-insensitive manner.

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

        </li>
      </ul>

      <note>
        On Windows hosts, 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.

    <attribute name="name" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        Visible name for this filter.
        This name is used to visually distinguish one filter from another,
        so it can neither be @c null nor an empty string.

    <attribute name="vendorId" type="wstring">

        <link to="IUSBDevice::vendorId">Vendor ID</link> filter.
        The string representation for the <i>exact matching</i>
        has the form <tt>XXXX</tt>, where <tt>X</tt> is the hex digit
        (including leading zeroes).

      <desc>

    <attribute name="revision" type="wstring">
      <desc>
        <link to="IUSBDevice::productId">Product revision number</link>
        filter. The string representation for the <i>exact matching</i>
        has the form <tt>IIFF</tt>, where <tt>I</tt> is the decimal digit
        of the integer part of the revision, and <tt>F</tt> is the
        decimal digit of its fractional part (including leading and
        trailing zeros).
        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
        revision from <tt>1.0</tt> to <tt>1.99</tt>.

      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 it to USBDeviceState_Held state, or do
      nothing. Unless the device is ignored by global filters, filters of all
      currently running guests (<link to="IUSBDeviceFilters::deviceFilters"/>) are
      activated that can put it to USBDeviceState_Captured 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 USBDeviceState_Unavailable, USBDeviceState_Busy
      or USBDeviceState_Available, 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 USBDeviceState_Busy, USBDeviceState_Available or
      USBDeviceState_Held.

      <note>
        Due to differences in USB stack implementations in Linux and Win32,
        states USBDeviceState_Busy and USBDeviceState_Unavailable 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 USBDeviceState_Held.

  <interface

    wsmap="managed"
    rest="managed"
    reservedAttributes="8"
    >
    <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 definition 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 creating 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 previous (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 version of the
        product.

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="accessible" type="boolean" readonly="yes">
      <desc>
        Whether the folder defined by the host path is currently
        accessible or not.

        For example, the folder can be inaccessible if it is placed
        on the network share that is not available by the time
        this property is read.
      </desc>

    <attribute name="writable" type="boolean">

      <desc>
        Desired mount point in the guest for automatically mounting the folder
        when <link to="ISharedFolder::autoMount"/> is set.  For Windows and
        OS/2 guests this should be a drive letter, while other guests it should
        be a absolute directory.  It is possible to combine the two, e.g.
        "T:/mnt/testrsrc" will be attached to "T:" by windows and OS/2 while
        the unixy guests will mount it at "/mnt/testrsrc".

        When empty the guest will choose a mount point.  The guest may do so
        too should the specified mount point be in use or otherwise unusable.

        accessibility check was successful. A non-empty string indicates a

    >
    <desc>
      The ISession interface represents a client process and allows for locking
      virtual machines (represented by IMachine objects) to prevent conflicting
      changes to the machine.

      Any caller wishing to manipulate a virtual machine needs to create a session
      object first, which lives in its own process space. Such session objects are
      then associated with <link to="IMachine" /> objects living in the VirtualBox
      server process to coordinate such changes.

      There are two typical scenarios in which sessions are used:

      <ul>
        <li>To alter machine settings or control a running virtual machine, one
          needs to lock a machine for a given session (client process) by calling
          <link to="IMachine::lockMachine"/>.

          Whereas multiple sessions may control a running virtual machine, only
          one process can obtain a write lock on the machine to prevent conflicting
          changes. A write lock is also needed if a process wants to actually run a
          virtual machine in its own context, such as the VirtualBox GUI or
          VBoxHeadless front-ends. They must also lock a machine for their own
          sessions before they are allowed to power up the virtual machine.

          As a result, no machine settings can be altered while another process is
          already using it, either because that process is modifying machine settings
          or because the machine is running.
        </li>
        <li>To start a VM using one of the existing VirtualBox front-ends (e.g. the
          VirtualBox GUI or VBoxHeadless), one would use
          <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess"/>, which also takes a session object
          as its first parameter. This session then identifies the caller and lets the
          caller control the started machine (for example, pause machine execution or
          power it down) as well as be notified about machine execution state changes.
        </li>
      </ul>

      How sessions objects are created in a client process depends on whether you use
      the Main API via COM or via the webservice:

      <ul>
        <li>When using the COM API directly, an object of the Session class from the
          VirtualBox type library needs to be created. In regular COM C++ client code,
          this can be done by calling <tt>createLocalObject()</tt>, a standard COM API.
          This object will then act as a local session object in further calls to open
          a session.
        </li>

        <li>In the webservice, the session manager (IWebsessionManager) instead creates
          a session object automatically whenever <link to="IWebsessionManager::logon" />
          is called. A managed object reference to that session object can be retrieved by
          calling <link to="IWebsessionManager::getSessionObject" />.
        </li>
      </ul>
    </desc>

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="type" type="SessionType" readonly="yes">

        Type of this session. The value of this attribute is valid only

        be changed when the session state is SessionState_Unlocked. Make sure
        that you use a descriptive name which does not conflict with the VM
        process session names: "GUI/Qt", "GUI/SDL" and "headless".

    <method name="unlockMachine">
      <desc>
        Unlocks a machine that was previously locked for the current session.

        Calling this method is required every time a machine has been locked
        for a particular session using the <link to="IMachine::launchVMProcess" />
        or <link to="IMachine::lockMachine" /> calls. Otherwise the state of
        the machine will be set to <link to="MachineState_Aborted" /> on the
        server, and changes made to the machine settings will be lost.

        Generally, it is recommended to unlock all machines explicitly
        before terminating the application (regardless of the reason for
        the termination).

        <note>
          Do not expect the session state (<link to="ISession::state" />
          to return to "Unlocked" immediately after you invoke this method,
          particularly if you have started a new VM process. The session
          state will automatically return to "Unlocked" once the VM is no
          longer executing, which can of course take a very long time.

        Represents a storage controller that is attached to a virtual machine
        (<link to="IMachine" />). Just as drives (hard disks, DVDs, FDs) are
        attached to storage controllers in a real computer, virtual drives
        (represented by <link to="IMediumAttachment" />) are attached to virtual
        storage controllers, represented by this interface.

        As opposed to physical hardware, VirtualBox has a very generic concept
        of a storage controller, and for purposes of the Main API, all virtual
        storage is attached to virtual machines via instances of this interface.
        There are five types of such virtual storage controllers: IDE, SCSI, SATA,
        SAS and Floppy (see <link to="#bus" />). Depending on which of these four
        is used, certain sub-types may be available and can be selected in
        <link to="#controllerType" />.

        Depending on these settings, the guest operating system might see
        significantly different virtual hardware.

        If false, the host I/O cache will be disabled for image files attached to this storage controller.
        Instead, the storage controller emulation will use asynchronous I/O APIs on the host. This makes
        it possible to turn off the host I/O caches because the emulation can handle unaligned access to
        the file. This should be used on OS X and Linux hosts if a high I/O load is expected or many

      that lives in the address space of the webservice server.

      Behind each managed object reference, there is a COM object that lives

      all objects created during the webservice session.

      Whenever a method call of the VirtualBox API returns a COM object, the

      The IPerformanceCollector interface represents a service that collects
      and stores performance metrics data.

      Performance metrics are associated with objects of interfaces like IHost
      and IMachine. Each object has a distinct set of performance metrics. The
      set can be obtained with <link to="IPerformanceCollector::getMetrics"/>.

      Metric data is collected at the specified intervals and is retained
      internally. The interval and the number of retained samples can be set
      with <link to="IPerformanceCollector::setupMetrics" />. Both metric data
      and collection settings are not persistent, they are discarded as soon as
      VBoxSVC process terminates. Moreover, metric settings and data associated
      with a particular VM only exist while VM is running. They disappear as
      soon as VM shuts down. It is not possible to set up metrics for machines
      that are powered off. One needs to start VM first, then set up metric
      collection parameters.

      Metrics are organized hierarchically, with each level separated by a
      slash (/) character. Generally, the scheme for metric names is like this:

      <tt>Category/Metric[/SubMetric][:aggregation]</tt>

      "Category/Metric" together form the base metric name. A base metric is
      the smallest unit for which a sampling interval and the number of
      retained samples can be set. Only base metrics can be enabled and
      disabled. All sub-metrics are collected when their base metric is
      collected. Collected values for any set of sub-metrics can be queried
      with <link to="IPerformanceCollector::queryMetricsData" />.

      For example "CPU/Load/User:avg" metric name stands for the "CPU"
      category, "Load" metric, "User" submetric, "average" aggregate. An
      aggregate function is computed over all retained data. Valid aggregate
      functions are:

      <ul>
          <li>avg -- average</li>
          <li>min -- minimum</li>
          <li>max -- maximum</li>
      </ul>

      When setting up metric parameters, querying metric data, enabling or
      disabling metrics wildcards can be used in metric names to specify a
      subset of metrics. For example, to select all CPU-related metrics
      use <tt>CPU/*</tt>, all averages can be queried using <tt>*:avg</tt> and
      so on. To query metric values without aggregates <tt>*:</tt> can be used.

      The valid names for base metrics are:

      <ul>
      <li>CPU/Load</li>
      <li>CPU/MHz</li>
      <li>RAM/Usage</li>
      <li>RAM/VMM</li>
      </ul>

      The general sequence for collecting and retrieving the metrics is:
      <ul>
        <li>
          Obtain an instance of IPerformanceCollector with
          <link to="IVirtualBox::performanceCollector" />
        </li>
        <li>
          Allocate and populate an array with references to objects the metrics
          will be collected for. Use references to IHost and IMachine objects.
        </li>
        <li>
          Allocate and populate an array with base metric names the data will
          be collected for.
        </li>
        <li>
          Call <link to="IPerformanceCollector::setupMetrics" />. From now on
          the metric data will be collected and stored.
        </li>
        <li>
          Wait for the data to get collected.
        </li>
        <li>
          Allocate and populate an array with references to objects the metric
          values will be queried for. You can re-use the object array used for
          setting base metrics.
        </li>
        <li>
          Allocate and populate an array with metric names the data will be
          collected for. Note that metric names differ from base metric names.
        </li>
        <li>
          Call <link to="IPerformanceCollector::queryMetricsData" />. The data
          that have been collected so far are returned. Note that the values
          are still retained internally and data collection continues.
        </li>
      </ul>

          Data collection continues behind the scenes after call to

          allows querying different subsets of metrics or aggregates with
          subsequent calls. If periodic querying is needed it is highly
          suggested to query the values with @c interval*count period to avoid
          confusion. This way a completely new set of data values will be
          provided by each query.

      Convenience interface for client applications. Treat this as a

      At the moment only available for clients of the local API (not usable
      via the webservice). Once the session logic is redesigned this might
      change.

      Error information handling is a bit special with IVirtualBoxClient:
      creating an instance will always succeed. The return of the actual error
      code/information is postponed to any attribute or method call. The
      reason for this is that COM likes to mutilate the error code and lose

      Event source. Generally, any object which could generate events can be an event source,
      or aggregate one. To simplify using one-way protocols such as webservices running on top of HTTP(S),
      an event source can work with listeners in either active or passive mode. In active mode it is up to
      the IEventSource implementation to call <link to="IEventListener::handleEvent" />, in passive mode the
      event source keeps track of pending events for each listener and returns available events on demand.

      Abstract parent interface for VirtualBox events. Actual events will typically implement
      a more specific interface which derives from this (see below).

      <b>Introduction to VirtualBox events</b>

      Generally speaking, an event (represented by this interface) signals that something
      happened, while an event listener (see <link to="IEventListener" />) represents an
      entity that is interested in certain events. In order for this to work with
      unidirectional protocols (i.e. web services), the concepts of passive and active
      listener are used.

      Event consumers can register themselves as listeners, providing an array of
      events they are interested in (see <link to="IEventSource::registerListener" />).
      When an event triggers, the listener is notified about the event. The exact
      mechanism of the notification depends on whether the listener was registered as
      an active or passive listener:

      <ul>
        <li>An active listener is very similar to a callback: it is a function invoked
          by the API. As opposed to the callbacks that were used in the API before
          VirtualBox 4.0 however, events are now objects with an interface hierarchy.
        </li>

        <li>Passive listeners are somewhat trickier to implement, but do not require
          a client function to be callable, which is not an option with scripting
          languages or web service clients. Internally the <link to="IEventSource" />
          implementation maintains an event queue for each passive listener, and
          newly arrived events are put in this queue. When the listener calls
          <link to="IEventSource::getEvent"/>, first element from its internal event
          queue is returned. When the client completes processing of an event,
          the <link to="IEventSource::eventProcessed" /> function must be called,
          acknowledging that the event was processed. It supports implementing
          waitable events. On passive listener unregistration, all events from its
          queue are auto-acknowledged.
        </li>
      </ul>

      Waitable events are useful in situations where the event generator wants to track
      delivery or a party wants to wait until all listeners have completed the event. A
      typical example would be a vetoable event (see <link to="IVetoEvent" />) where a
      listeners might veto a certain action, and thus the event producer has to make
      sure that all listeners have processed the event and not vetoed before taking
      the action.

      A given event may have both passive and active listeners at the same time.

      <b>Using events</b>

      Any VirtualBox object capable of producing externally visible events provides an
      @c eventSource read-only attribute, which is of the type <link to="IEventSource" />.
      This event source object is notified by VirtualBox once something has happened, so
      consumers may register event listeners with this event source. To register a listener,
      an object implementing the <link to="IEventListener" /> interface must be provided.
      For active listeners, such an object is typically created by the consumer, while for
      passive listeners <link to="IEventSource::createListener" /> should be used. Please
      note that a listener created with <link to="IEventSource::createListener"/> must not be used as an active listener.

      Once created, the listener must be registered to listen for the desired events
      (see <link to="IEventSource::registerListener" />), providing an array of
      <link to="VBoxEventType" /> enums. Those elements can either be the individual
      event IDs or wildcards matching multiple event IDs.

      After registration, the callback's <link to="IEventListener::handleEvent" /> method is
      called automatically when the event is triggered, while passive listeners have to call
      <link to="IEventSource::getEvent" /> and <link to="IEventSource::eventProcessed" /> in
      an event processing loop.

      The IEvent interface is an abstract parent interface for all such VirtualBox events
      coming in. As a result, the standard use pattern inside <link to="IEventListener::handleEvent" />
      or the event processing loop is to check the <link to="#type" /> attribute of the event and
      then cast to the appropriate specific interface using @c QueryInterface().

        as no additional overhead associated with waitability imposed.
        Waitable events are needed when one need to be able to wait for particular event processed,
        for example for vetoable changes, or if event refers to some resource which need to be kept immutable
        until all consumers confirmed events.

        followed by a 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.

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

        The XOR mask follows the AND mask on the next 4-byte 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.
        The XOR mask scanlines have no gap between them and the size of
        the XOR mask is: <tt>cXor = width * 4 * height</tt>.

        <note>
          If @a shape is 0, only the pointer visibility is changed.

    >
    <desc>
      Notification when an error happens during the virtual
      machine execution.

      There are three kinds of runtime errors:
      <ul>
        <li><i>fatal</i></li>
        <li><i>non-fatal with retry</i></li>
        <li><i>non-fatal warnings</i></li>
      </ul>

      <b>Fatal</b> errors are indicated by the @a fatal parameter set
      to @c true. In case of fatal errors, the virtual machine
      execution is always paused before calling this notification, and
      the notification handler is supposed either to immediately save
      the virtual machine state using <link to="IMachine::saveState"/>
      or power it off using <link to="IConsole::powerDown"/>.
      Resuming the execution can lead to unpredictable results.

      <b>Non-fatal</b> errors and warnings are indicated by the
      @a fatal parameter set to @c false. If the virtual machine
      is in the Paused state by the time the error notification is
      received, it means that the user can <i>try to resume</i> the machine
      execution after attempting to solve the problem that caused the
      error. In this case, the notification handler is supposed
      to show an appropriate message to the user (depending on the
      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 identifiers 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.

        Returns values for a group of properties in one call.

        The names of the properties to get are specified using the @a names

        an empty string if all properties are to be returned.
        <note>Currently the value of this argument is ignored and the method
        always returns all existing properties.</note>

        The method returns two arrays, the array of property names corresponding
        to the @a names argument and the current values of these properties.
        Both arrays have the same number of elements with each element at the
        given index in the first array corresponds to an element at the same
        index in the second array.

    <method name="setProperties">
      <desc>
        Updates profile, changing/adding/removing properties.

        The names of the properties to set are passed in the @a names
        array along with the new values for them in the @a values array. Both
        arrays have the same number of elements with each element at the given
        index in the first array corresponding to an element at the same index
        in the second array.

        If there is at least one property name in @a names that is not valid,
        the method will fail before changing the values of any other properties
        from the @a names array.

          Spawns a new process that will execute the virtual machine in the interactive
          windows session of calling user. Any additional checks are performed by created
          process itself

          If launching the VM succeeds, the new VM process will create its own session
          and write-lock the machine for it, preventing conflicting changes from other
          processes. If the machine is already locked (because it is already running or
          because another session has a write lock), launching the VM process will therefore
          fail. Reversely, future attempts to obtain a write lock will also fail while the
          machine is running.

          Launching a VM process can take some time (a new VM is started in a new process,
          for which memory and other resources need to be set up) but the method does
          not wait for completion and just returns the PID of created process.
