VMware Comand Line Tools consists of several small and simple programs instead of one large versatile program, only because I like it this way. Currently following programs are included:
| name | description |
|---|---|
| vmchk | Checks if it is running inside VMware. |
| vmdev | Connects and disconnects virtual devices, such as floppy, CD, sound, etc. |
| vmpref | Enables and disables some preference settings, such as copy & paste and time syncronization, etc. |
| vmtime | Syncronizes guest's system clock to host's system clock. Note that this is just a regular "one shot" program and you have to run it periodically to keep guest and host in sync for a long period of time. TSR version is currently in progress. |
| vmcopy | Copies text data from guest to host's clipboard. Since DOS doesn't have any built-in clipboard, it reads text from standard input. |
| vmscr | Like vmcopy, this program copies text data from guest to host
but it reads text from screen instead of standard input. In short, you can take a "screen shot" of DOS guest. |
| vmpaste | Pastes text data from host's clipboard to guest. Since DOS doesn't have any built-in clipboard, it writes text to standard output. |
| vmpop | Well, it's a kind of joke... |
And now in progress
(though I have no idea when I can ever finish them...):
