14 Bochs is a portable Intel Architecture 32 (x86) emulator
15 that runs on most popular operating systems. Inside the
16 emulator, it can run many operating systems including
17 Linux and Microsoft(R) Windows(R).
21 When you run bochs without one of the following options, it
22 will search for a configuration file called .bochsrc in
23 the current directory and your home directory and display
27 With this option the start menu will be skipped after loading
28 the configuration file.
31 This option specifies the name of the configuration file.
34 When you run bochs with this option, it will skip the start
35 menu and use the specified configuration file.
38 With this option bochs doesn't load a configuration file.
39 In that case the setup for the emulation must be done with
40 bochsrc options on the command line or in the start menu.
43 Print a summary of the command line options for bochs and exit.
45 You can override the settings from the configuration file
46 with command line arguments, using the same syntax as the
47 bochsrc file. If you have any spaces in your command line
48 arguments, they should be enclosed in single quotes.
49 For information on Bochs command line and configuration
50 file arguments, see the man page
