 || '''File name''' || '''Description''' ||

 || {{{VBoxBFE.exe}}} || Basic frontend. This is mainly a development aid and bypasses our COM layer by talking directly to the VMM API. We also make use of this frontend on embedded systems such as µ-kernels. ||
-
 || {{{VBoxC.dll}}} || Client-side COM library. All COM (or XPCOM) objects that live on the client side (i.e. inside the VM execution process) are contained in this file. So {{{IConsole}}} and friends go there. ||

-
 || {{{VBoxDD2GC.gc}}} || Virtual devices guest context (GC) code for devices where we make use of 3rd party LGPL sources. ||
-
 || {{{VBoxDD2R0.r0}}} || Virtual devices ring-0 (R0) context code for devices where we make use of 3rd party LGPL sources. ||

 || {{{VBoxVMM.dll}}} || User level parts of the Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM). ||
-
 || {{{VBoxXML.dll}}} || Interface library for our XML configuration store. ||
-
 || {{{VirtualBox.exe}}} || The main frontend based on the Qt library. ||
-
 || {{{VMMGC.gc}}} || Guest context (GC) portions of the VMM. ||
-
 || {{{VMMR0.r0}}} || Ring-0 (R0) context portions of the VMM. ||
