% 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.

Valid placeholders for the Go template are listed below:

| **Placeholder** | **Description**                 |

| .Created        | Time since VM creation          |
| .LastUp         | Time since the VM was last run  |
| .VMType         | VM type                      	|

#### **--help**
