Description-en: QEMU user mode emulation binaries (static version)
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, built
statically. In this mode QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for
one CPU on another CPU.
.
If binfmt-support package is installed, qemu-user-static package will
register binary formats which the provided emulators can handle, so
that it will be possible to run foreign binaries directly.
