8.38. VBoxManage setextradata

Set a keyword value that is associated with a virtual machine or configuration.

Synopsis

VBoxManage setextradata < global | uuid | vmname > <keyword> [value]

Description

The VBoxManage setextradata command enables you to set a keyword value that is associated with a virtual machine (VM) or with an Oracle VM VirtualBox configuration.

global: Sets information about the configuration rather than a VM.
uuid|vmname: Specifies the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) or name of the VM.
keyword: Specifies the keyword for which to set its value.
value: Specifies the keyword value. Specifying no value removes the keyword.

Examples

The following command sets the installdate keyword value for the Fedora5 VM to 2019.01.01:

$ VBoxManage setextradata Fedora5 installdate 2019.01.01

The following command unsets the value of the installdate keyword for the Fedora5 VM:

$ VBoxManage setextradata Fedora5 installdate
