.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture 32 (x86) emulator
|
|
that runs on most popular operating systems. Inside the
|
|
emulator, it can run many operating systems including
|
|
Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R).

|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
When you run bochs without one of the following options, it
|
|
will search for a configuration file called .bochsrc in
|
|
the current directory and your home directory and display
|
|
the start menu.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-q
|
|
With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading
|
|
the configuration file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-f\ configfile
|
|
This option specifies the name of the configuration file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-qf\ configfile
|
|
When you run bochs with this option, it will skip the start
|
|
menu and use the specified configuration file.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-n
|
|
With this option bochs doesn't load a configuration file.
|
|
In that case the setup for the emulation must be done with
|
|
bochsrc options on the command line or in the start menu.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-h,\ --help
|
|
Print a summary of the command line options for bochs and exit.
|
|
.LP
|
|
You can override the settings from the configuration file
|
|
with command line arguments, using the same syntax as the
|
|
bochsrc file. If you have any spaces in your command line
|
|
arguments, they should be enclosed in single quotes.
|
|
For information on Bochs command line and configuration
|
|
file arguments, see the man page
|
|
.B bochsrc(5).
