bochs(1) The Bochs Project bochs(1) NAME bochs - Portable x86 Emulator. SYNOPSIS bochs [bochs_options] [bochsrc_options] DESCRIPTION Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture 32 (x86) emulator that runs on most popular operating systems. Inside the emulator, it can run many operating systems including Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R). OPTIONS When you run Bochs without one of the following options, it will search for a configuration file called .bochsrc in the current directory and your home directory and display the start menu. -q With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading the configuration file. -f configfile This option specifies the name of the configuration file. -qf configfile When you run Bochs with this option, it will skip the start menu and use the specified configuration file. -n With this option Bochs doesn't load a configuration file. In that case the setup for the emulation must be done with bochsrc options on the command line or in the start menu. -benchmark N Run Bochs in benchmark mode for N millions of emulated ticks -dumpstats N Dump Bochs stats every N millions of emulated ticks -r path Restore the Bochs state from path -log filename Specify Bochs log file name -unlock Unlock Bochs images leftover from previous session -h, --help Print a summary of the command line options for Bochs and exit -h, --help features Display available features / devices and exit -h, --help cpu Display supported CPU models and exit The following options are available if Bochs is compiled with debugger support. -dbg Start Bochs internal debugger on startup -rc filename Execute debugger commands stored in file -dbglog Specify Bochs internal debugger log file name You can override the settings from the configuration file with command line arguments, using the same syntax as the bochsrc file. If you have any spaces in your command line arguments, they should be en- closed in single quotes. For information on Bochs command line and configuration file arguments, see the man page bochsrc(5).
