.SH NAME
elksemu \- Embedded Linux Kernel Environment emulator
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /lib/elksemu
.B program
.RB [ arguments ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Elksemu
is a program that allows 8086
.B ELKS
programs to be run under Linux-i386. These programs can be compiled using
the
.B bcc(1)
C compiler.
It is not usual to invoke
.I /lib/elksemu
directly, either the simple patch or kernel module distributed with it
will cause the kernel to run
.I /lib/elksemu
with the correct arguments whenever the user tries to execute an ELKS
executable directly.
.SH OPTIONS
There are no flag options to elksemu, the first argument is the name of the
program to run the rest are arguments that are passed to the Elks program.
The
.B elksemu
program is normally installed suid-root and in this event it is able to
run execute only (chmod 111) elks executables and act correctly on the
suid permission bits on those executable. This may be considered a
security hazard so elksemu does
.I not
have to be installed suid-root.
.SH SEE ALSO
bcc(1), as86(1), ld86(1)
.SH BUGS
Elksemu is incomplete.
The program may still have security bugs!
