# hvinfo
-Yet another hypervisor detection tool, this time in a high level language.
+Yet another hypervisor detection tool, this time in a high level language and
+doesn't want root privileges.
-To build it, you need an Ada 2005 compiler.
+To build it, you need GNAT 4.x or higher (Ada 2005 support required).
+Just use "make" in the top level dir.
-With GCC, do
-
-```
-cd src
-gnatmake hvinfo.adb
-```
+Currently CPUID-based checks that can detect KVM, Xen, VMWare, and Hyper-V
+are supported on any OS, but SMBIOS vendor checks are Linux-specific.
+If you know how to extend them to other OSes, patches are welcome
+(as long as it doesn't require root privileges, as it kinda was the motivation).
