12 Elksemu is a program that allows 8086 ELKS programs to be run under
13 Linux-i386. These programs can be compiled using the bcc(1) C compiler.

15 Yom may use the binfmt-misc module under Linux 2.1.43 or greater as
16 described in the elksemu README which will cause the kernel to run
17 elksemu with the correct arguments whenever the user tries to execute
18 an ELKS executable directly.

22 There are no flag options to elksemu, the first argument is the name of
23 the program to run the rest are arguments that are passed to the Elks
24 program.

28 The elksemu program may be installed suid-root and in this event it is
29 able to run execute only (chmod 111) elks executables and act correctly
30 on the suid permission bits on any executable. This should be
31 considered a security hazard so elksemu does not have to be installed
32 suid-root. If you consider using this facility you should also be
33 aware that it will override the 'nosuid' mount(8) option.
