💖 qemu-user-static(1) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about the Debian manual page for qemu-user-static, and honestly? it's giving multiverse energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qemu-user-static — the QEMU User Emulator, but make it the static version 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qemu-user-static [options] program [program-arguments...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: qemu-user-static is an emulator that can run binaries built for other architectures — but here's the catch, no cap — only when they're for the same operating system as the one you're currently on. different CPU, same OS. that's the whole bit. iconic behavior fr fr 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — prints the help. that's it, that's the option. she's simple, she's reliable 💖
  • -g <port> — wait for a gdb connection on port port. debugging era activated 🐛
  • -L <path> — set the elf interpreter prefix. the default is default=/etc/qemu-binfmt/%M, and yes you read that right, %M is in there, don't touch it, she's doing her job 🧚
  • -s <size> — set the stack size, in bytes. default is 524288. that's a lot of bytes, slay ⭐
  • -d <options> — activate log. the logfile lives at logfile=/tmp/qemu.log 📝
  • -p <pagesize> — set the host page size to 'pagesize'. yes, that's the literal placeholder, no I did not make that up 🙈
