NAME
        elksemu - Embedded Linux Kernel Subset emulator
 
SYNOPSIS
        /lib/elksemu program [arguments]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Elksemu  is a program that allows 8086 ELKS programs to be
        run under Linux-i386. These programs can be compiled using
        the bcc(1) C compiler.
 
        It  is  not  usual to invoke /lib/elksemu directly, either
        the simple patch or kernel module distributed with it will
        cause  the  kernel  to  run  /lib/elksemu with the correct
        arguments whenever the  user  tries  to  execute  an  ELKS
        executable directly.
 
 
OPTIONS
        There  are  no flag options to elksemu, the first argument
        is the name of the program to run the rest  are  arguments
        that are passed to the Elks program.
 
        The elksemu program is normally installed suid-root and in
        this event it is able to run execute only (chmod 111) elks
        executables  and act correctly on the suid permission bits
        on those executable. This may  be  considered  a  security
        hazard so elksemu does not have to be installed suid-root.

        bcc(1), as86(1), ld86(1)
 
 BUGS
        Elksemu is incomplete.
 
        The program may still have security bugs!
