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       -benchmark N
36              Run Bochs in benchmark mode for N millions of emulated ticks
37
38       -dumpstats N
39              Dump Bochs stats every N millions of emulated ticks
40
41       -r path
42              Restore the Bochs state from path
43
44       -log filename
45              Specify Bochs log file name
46
47       -unlock
48              Unlock Bochs images leftover from previous session
49
50       -h, --help
51              Print a summary of the command line options for Bochs and exit
52
53       -h, --help features
54              Display available features / devices and exit
55
56       -h, --help cpu
57              Display supported CPU models and exit
58
59       You  can override the settings from the configuration file with command
60       line arguments, using the  same  syntax  as the bochsrc  file.  If  you
61       have   any  spaces  in  your command line arguments, they should be en‐
62       closed  in  single quotes.  For information on Bochs command  line  and
63       configuration file arguments, see the man page bochsrc(5).
64
65       Example:
66         bochs -q 'boot:a' 'floppya: 1_44=a.img, status=inserted'
