10
12 Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture 32 (x86) emulator that runs on
13 most popular operating systems. Inside the emulator, it can run
14 many operating systems including Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R).
15
17 When you run bochs without one of the following options, it will search
18 for a configuration file called .bochsrc in the current directory and
19 your home directory and display the start menu.
20
21 -q With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading
22 the configuration file.
23
24 -f configfile
25 This option specifies the name of the configuration file.
26
27 -qf configfile
28 When you run bochs with this option, it will skip the start menu
29 and use the specified configuration file.
30
31 -n With this option bochs doesn't load a configuration file. In
32 that case the setup for the emulation must be done with bochsrc
33 options on the command line or in the start menu.
34
35 -h, --help
36 Print a summary of the command line options for bochs and exit.
37
38 You can override the settings from the configuration file with command
39 line arguments, using the same syntax as the bochsrc file. If you
40 have any spaces in your command line arguments, they should be
41 enclosed in single quotes. For information on Bochs command line and
42 configuration file arguments, see the man page bochsrc(5).
