Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The command `wsl --manage` provides useful tweaks. However, we can't show the current status.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The simple command `wsl --manage --print-status` will print all the parameters that we can change using the command.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
No alternatives exists. We need a lot of code to obtain the data that we can change using the command: distro path, type of VHDX, etc.
**Additional context**
This command will be a must have. We need this information. An alternative `wsl --manage --print-status --json` variant printing the data in JSON format will be useful.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing `wsl --manage` command and its handling of changeable parameters. Determine how the distro path, VHDX type, and other adjustable values can be obtained, then verify that `wsl --manage --print-status` reports them; JSON output is an additional proposed variant.
