% podman-machine-ls(1)

## NAME
podman\-machine\-list - List virtual machines

## SYNOPSIS
**podman machine list** [*options*]

**podman machine ls** [*options*]

## DESCRIPTION

List Podman managed virtual machines.

Podman on macOS requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux -
containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality is
tied to the Linux kernel.
