NAME

       kvm - kvm-enabling link for qemu-system-x86_64

DESCRIPTION

       When  executed  as  kvm,  qemu-system  is  run  with  preference  to native hardware-based
       virtualization, instead of relying solely on emulation.  Essentially kvm is equivalent  to
       qemu-system-x86_64  -machine  accel=kvm:tcg  so  when  the  host CPU support the kvm mode,
       native hardware virtualization  is  enabled,  or  qemu-system-x86_64  falls  back  to  the
       emulation (TCG) mode.

SEE ALSO

       qemu-system-x86_64(1).
