VMT(4) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual VMT(4)NAMEvmt - VMware Tools driver
SYNOPSIS
vmt0 at mainbus0
DESCRIPTION
The vmt driver is a kernel level implementation of VMware Tools. VMware
Tools are intended to provide better support for operating systems
running inside virtual machines.
vmt handles shutdown and reboot requests from the host by signalling
init(8) with SIGUSR2 and SIGINT respectively. vmt will log notifications
that the guest has been suspended or resumed by the host. It also
provides access to the host machine's clock as a timedelta sensor.
vmt reports the guests hostname and first non-loopback IP address to the
host.

The vmt driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.4.
