Hi Sachin,
the tool is not in the virtual machine. This is the tool that's in dom0. Since there is a source code for this one you could scp it to the guest, compile and run inside the guest environment. There is no need to provide a guest with this tool by default and in fact this is really impossible so it's better to scp it to the guest and compile there.

Just curious to know, if there is any way that given a terminal to a
box, we can determine is it a physical machine or a virtual machine ?
