VMware Command Line Tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On this page, you'll find command line programs which can replace and/or
|
|
|
|
|
supplement the VMware's official VMwareTools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These programs use VMware's undocumented and therefore not officially
|
|
|
|
|
supported feature to communicate with VMware (see VMware Backdoor I/O Port).
|
|
|
|
|
Information on these functions have come entirely from my personal research
|
|
|
|
|
and quite a few contributions by fellow VMware users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These programs are intended partly as illustrative examples of how to use the
|
|
|
|
|
VMware backdoor function and I have cut many corners writing them.
