# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| qemu: qemu - processor emulator qemu: qemu: QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a qemu: good emulation speed by using dynamic translation. QEMU has two qemu: operating modes: qemu: qemu: * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system qemu: (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. qemu: It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without qemu: rebooting the PC or to debug system code. qemu: * User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch qemu: Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
