## Status prompt
Add `$(virtualbox_prompt_info [vm_name] ...)` to your prompt to show the status
of all specified virtual machines.
The plugin will add the following to your prompt for each `$vm_name`.
```text
<prefix><vm_name>:<running|notrunning><suffix>
```
You can control these parts with the following variables:
- `<prefix>`: Set `$ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_PREFIX`.
- `<suffix>`: Set `$ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_SUFFIX`.
- `<vm_name>`: name passed as parameter to the function. If you want it to be in ALL CAPS,
you can set the variable `$ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_CAPS` to a non-empty string.
- `<running>`: shown if the virtual machine is running.
Set `$ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_RUNNING`.
- `<notrunning>`: shown if the virtual machine is *not* running.
Set `$ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_NOTRUNNING`.
You can set `ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_COUNT` to a non-empty string to show a
count of running virtual machines / total.
For example, if your prompt contains `PROMPT='$(virtualbox_prompt_info "Arch Linux" "Debian")'`
and you set the following variables:
```sh
ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_COUNT="true"
ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_PREFIX="["
ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_SUFFIX="]"
ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_RUNNING="+"
ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_NOTRUNNING="X"
ZSH_THEME_VIRTUALBOX_PROMPT_CAPS="true"
```
If `Arch Linux` is running, and `Debian` is not, then your prompt will look like this:
```text
[1 / 2][ARCH LINUX: +][DEBIAN: X]
```
