NAME

6       bochs - Portable x86 Emulator.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bochs [bochs_options] [bochsrc_options]
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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       -r path
36              Restore the Bochs state from path
37
38       -log filename
39              Specify Bochs log file name
40
41       -h, --help
42              Print a summary of the command line options for bochs and exit.
43
44       -h, --help features
45              Display available features / devices and exit
46
47       -h, --help cpu
48              Display supported CPU models and exit
49
50       You  can override the settings from the configuration file with command
51       line arguments, using the  same  syntax  as the bochsrc  file.  If  you
52       have   any  spaces  in  your  command  line  arguments,  they should be
53       enclosed  in  single quotes.  For information on Bochs command line and
54       configuration file arguments, see the man page bochsrc(5).
55
56       Example:
57         bochs -q 'boot:a' 'floppya: 1_44=a.img, status=inserted'
