get value of certain property of showvminfo command

acherkashin commented 4 years ago

Guys, thank you for your work. I'm working on VirtualBox extension for VSCode and I want to show OS name next to VM name like on SS below.

But instead of just "windows" I want to show "Windows 10 (64-bit)", instead of "mac" - "Mac OS X (64-bit)"

For this purpose, I need method to perform this command and get all properties as object.

VBoxManage.exe showvminfo -machinereadable "Mac OS machine"

I mean next structure should be converted to next JS object

name="Mac OS machine"
groups="/"
ostype="Mac OS X (64-bit)"
...

{
    name: "Mac OS machine",
    groups: "/",
    ostype: "Mac OS X (64-bit)",
    ...
}

I would appreciate if somebody take care about it.

This would require a breaking API change. We're going to gradually introduce features like this once we can get a good release cadence going.
