QEMU-ALPHA-STATIC(1)

💅 qemu-user-static(1) — the manual page, bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is the page for qemu-user-static, which lives in manual section 1. it's not glamorous. it's not the main character. it's literally just a symlink with a job. but we're gonna give it the respect it deserves anyway 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

qemu-user-static — the QEMU User Emulator, but make it a compatibility symlink 👑 (that's the whole personality, and we're at peace with it)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🫖: qemu-user-static is a compatibility symlink for the old qemu-user-static package, and it points at the qemu-user binary. that's it. that's the lore.

🚨 bestie, listen. Please do not use these compatibility links. like, genuinely. they're here for legacy reasons and nothing else.

instead, switch to using the corresponding qemu-user binaries — the ones without the -static suffix. no -static, no drama, no crusty symlink energy. the way that a plain qemu-user binary just works? obsessed. 💖
