Here lies a really minimalist and very noddy command-line wrapper to run VMs in the macOS Big Sur Virtualization.framework. Vftool runs Linux virtual machines with virtio block, network, entropy and console devices. All of the hard work and actual virtualisation is performed by Virtualization.framework -- this wrapper simply sets up configuration objects, describing the VM. It's intended to be the simplest possible invocation of this framework
