Description-en: QEMU user mode emulation binaries
QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports
ARM, CRIS, i386, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, SH4,
SPARC and x86-64 emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves
reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.
.
This package provides the user mode emulation binaries. In this mode
QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU.
.
If qemu-user-binfmt package is also installed, it will register binary
format handlers from this qemu-user package with the kernel so it will
be possible to run foreign binaries directly. However, this might not
be suitable for using inside foreign chroots, in which case it is
possible to use qemu-user-static package instead of qemu-user-binmft, --
qemu-user-static will register statically linked binfmt handlers instead.
