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, reboot, resume
requests from the host by sending events using
sysmon_pswitch(9)
of type PSWITCH_TYPE_POWER, PSWITCH_TYPE_RESET, and PSWITCH_TYPE_SLEEP that
can be handled by
powerd(8).
vmt
will log notifications that the guest has been
suspended or resumed by the host.
vmt
reports the guest's hostname and first
non-loopback IP address to the host.
vmt
driver synchronizes the virtual machine's clock
with the host clock in the following situations:
vmt
driver receives no notification of such an
event. Setting this tunable to zero disables clock synchronization.vmt
driver first appeared in
OpenBSD 4.4 and was then ported to
NetBSD 6.0.

driver was written by David
