🌸 NAME 🌸

rocm-qemu-setup — yes it's called rocm-qemu-setup, she's self-titled, main character energy, no notes 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕ this utility is gonna go hunting for AMD GPUs on your system, then peek at whether your system is already set up for PCI pass-through, and if it's not, she'll suggest the appropriate measures to get you there. she's helpful like that 🫶

and if you pass her a USER? she goes one step further and checks whether that given user has sufficient permissions to do PCI pass-through in non-privileged mode. yes, queen, we love an overachiever 👑

📜 Synopsis:

bin/rocm-qemu-setup -h

bin/rocm-qemu-setup [-u USER]

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -h — show this help. that's it, that's the whole job. short, sweet, iconic ✨
• -u USER — verify that USER has the necessary permissions and ulimits to use PCI pass-through together with QEMU. like, does this person actually have the range? let's find out 🔍
