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.

       -r path
              Restore the Bochs state from path

       -log filename
              Specify Bochs log file name

       -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

       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
       enclosed  in  single quotes.  For information on Bochs command line and configuration file arguments, see
       the man page bochsrc(5).

       Example:
         bochs -q 'boot:a' 'floppya: 1_44=a.img, status=inserted'
