# name

The display’s name as seen in the guest operating environment.

## Declaration

```swift
var name: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is Apple Virtual. The framework truncates the name to 13 characters. The device propagates the display name into the guest environment, so the name may be visible in the guest operating system’s user interface.
