By using dynamic translation it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.

This package provides a daemon (agent) to run inside qemu-system guests (full system emulation). It communicates with the host using a virtio-serial channel org.qemu.guest_agent.0, and allows one to perform some functions in the guest from the host, including:

  • querying and setting guest system time
  • performing guest filesystem sync operation
  • initiating guest shutdown or suspend to ram
  • accessing guest files
  • freezing/thawing guest filesystem operations
  • others.

Install this package on a system which is running as guest inside qemu virtual machine. It is not used on the host.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                an Ethernet over L2TPv3 pseudowire.
                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).
                use 'src=' to specify source address
                use 'dst=' to specify destination address
                use 'udp=on' to specify udp encapsulation
                use 'srcport=' to specify source udp port
                use 'dstport=' to specify destination udp port
                use 'ipv6=on' to force v6
                L2TPv3 uses cookies to prevent misconfiguration as
                well as a weak security measure
                use 'rxcookie=0x012345678' to specify a rxcookie
                use 'txcookie=0x012345678' to specify a txcookie
                use 'cookie64=on' to set cookie size to 64 bit, otherwise 32
                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer
                use 'offset=X' to add an extra offset between header and data

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'cookie64=on' to set cookie size to 64 bit, otherwise 32
                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer
                use 'offset=X' to add an extra offset between header and data

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by

-dump-vmstate <file>
                Output vmstate information in JSON format to file.
                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code

                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

qemu-system-misc

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports Alpha, ARM, CRIS, i386, LoongArch, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, RISC-V, S390x, SH4, SPARC, x86-64, Xtensa and other emulations. By using dynamic translation it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.

This package provides the full system emulation binaries to emulate various other hardware which did not made into separate packages. Emulators for the following architectures are provided: alpha avr cris hppa m68k loongarch64 (loong64) microblaze microblazeel nios2 or1k riscv32 riscv64 rx sh4 sh4eb s390x tricore xtensa xtensaeb.

In system emulation mode QEMU emulates a full system, including a processor and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual hosting of several virtual machines on a single server.

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                    C library implementations.
                use 'elevateprivileges' to allow or deny the QEMU process ability
                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by
                     blocking *fork and execve

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                offline CPUs for hotplug, etc
                drawers= number of drawers on the machine board

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                    C library implementations.
                use 'elevateprivileges' to allow or deny the QEMU process ability
                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                configure a network backend with ID 'str' connected to
                an Ethernet over L2TPv3 pseudowire.
                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).
                use 'src=' to specify source address
                use 'dst=' to specify destination address
                use 'udp=on' to specify udp encapsulation
                use 'srcport=' to specify source udp port
                use 'dstport=' to specify destination udp port
                use 'ipv6=on' to force v6
                L2TPv3 uses cookies to prevent misconfiguration as
                well as a weak security measure
                use 'rxcookie=0x012345678' to specify a rxcookie
                use 'txcookie=0x012345678' to specify a txcookie
                use 'cookie64=on' to set cookie size to 64 bit, otherwise 32
                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer
                use 'offset=X' to add an extra offset between header and data

                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by

                              -name guest option is set (default: off)
-dump-vmstate <file>
                Output vmstate information in JSON format to file.
                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'obsolete' to allow obsolete system calls that are provided
                    by the kernel, but typically no longer used by modern
                    C library implementations.
                use 'elevateprivileges' to allow or deny the QEMU process ability
                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by
                     blocking *fork and execve

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by
                     blocking *fork and execve

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by
                     blocking *fork and execve

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

qemu-system-ppc

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports PowerPC emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.

This package provides the full system emulation binaries to emulate the following PowerPC hardware: ppc (powerpc) ppc64 (ppc64le ppc64el).

In system emulation mode QEMU emulates a full system, including a processor and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual hosting of several virtual machines on a single server.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

-dump-vmstate <file>
                Output vmstate information in JSON format to file.
                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]
                maxcpus= maximum number of total CPUs, including
                offline CPUs for hotplug, etc
                drawers= number of drawers on the machine board

                cores= number of cores in one cluster
                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'elevateprivileges' to allow or deny the QEMU process ability
                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by
                     blocking *fork and execve

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'txcookie=0x012345678' to specify a txcookie
                use 'cookie64=on' to set cookie size to 64 bit, otherwise 32

-dump-vmstate <file>
                Output vmstate information in JSON format to file.
                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

qemu-system-sparc

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports SPARC emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.

This package provides the full system emulation binaries to emulate the following sparc hardware: sparc sparc64.

In system emulation mode QEMU emulates a full system, including a processor and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual hosting of several virtual machines on a single server.

                offline CPUs for hotplug, etc
                drawers= number of drawers on the machine board
                books= number of books in one drawer
                sockets= number of sockets in one book
                dies= number of dies in one socket
                clusters= number of clusters in one die
                cores= number of cores in one cluster
                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

qemu-system-x86

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports i386 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 full system emulation binaries to emulate the following x86 hardware: i386 x86_64 (amd64).

In system emulation mode QEMU emulates a full system, including a processor and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual hosting of several virtual machines on a single server.

On x86 host hardware this package also enables KVM kernel virtual machine usage on systems which supports it.

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

-sandbox on[,obsolete=allow|deny][,elevateprivileges=allow|deny|children]
          [,spawn=allow|deny][,resourcecontrol=allow|deny]
                Enable seccomp mode 2 system call filter (default 'off').
                use 'obsolete' to allow obsolete system calls that are provided
                    by the kernel, but typically no longer used by modern
                    C library implementations.
                use 'elevateprivileges' to allow or deny the QEMU process ability
                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged
                use 'spawn' to avoid QEMU to spawn new threads or processes by
                     blocking *fork and execve
                use 'resourcecontrol' to disable process affinity and schedular priority

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]

                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

-smp [[cpus=]n][,maxcpus=maxcpus][,drawers=drawers][,books=books][,sockets=sockets]
               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]
                maxcpus= maximum number of total CPUs, including
                offline CPUs for hotplug, etc
                drawers= number of drawers on the machine board
                books= number of books in one drawer

                cores= number of cores in one cluster
                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

               [,dies=dies][,clusters=clusters][,cores=cores][,threads=threads]
                set the number of initial CPUs to 'n' [default=1]
                maxcpus= maximum number of total CPUs, including
                offline CPUs for hotplug, etc
                drawers= number of drawers on the machine board
                books= number of books in one drawer
                sockets= number of sockets in one book
                dies= number of dies in one socket

                cores= number of cores in one cluster
                threads= number of threads in one core
Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                L2TPv3 uses cookies to prevent misconfiguration as
                well as a weak security measure
                use 'rxcookie=0x012345678' to specify a rxcookie
                use 'txcookie=0x012345678' to specify a txcookie

                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for

                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

Note: Different machines may have different subsets of the CPU topology
      parameters supported, so the actual meaning of the supported parameters
      will vary accordingly. For example, for a machine type that supports a
      three-level CPU hierarchy of sockets/cores/threads, the parameters will
      sequentially mean as below:
                sockets means the number of sockets on the machine board
                cores means the number of cores in one socket
                threads means the number of threads in one core
      For a particular machine type board, an expected CPU topology hierarchy
      can be defined through the supported sub-option. Unsupported parameters
      can also be provided in addition to the sub-option, but their values
      must be set as 1 in the purpose of correct parsing.

                Linux kernel 3.3+ as well as most routers can talk
                L2TPv3. This transport allows connecting a VM to a VM,
                VM to a router and even VM to Host. It is a nearly-universal
                standard (RFC3931). Note - this implementation uses static
                pre-configured tunnels (same as the Linux kernel).

                use 'txcookie=0x012345678' to specify a txcookie
                use 'cookie64=on' to set cookie size to 64 bit, otherwise 32
                use 'counter=off' to force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter
                use 'pincounter=on' to work around broken counter handling in peer
                use 'offset=X' to add an extra offset between header and data

                use 'elevateprivileges' to allow or deny the QEMU process ability
                    to elevate privileges using set*uid|gid system calls.
                    The value 'children' will deny set*uid|gid system calls for
                    main QEMU process but will allow forks and execves to run unprivileged

-msg [timestamp[=on|off]][,guest-name=[on|off]]
                control error message format
                timestamp=on enables timestamps (default: off)
                guest-name=on enables guest name prefix but only if
                              -name guest option is set (default: off)
-dump-vmstate <file>
                Output vmstate information in JSON format to file.
                Use the scripts/vmstate-static-checker.py file to
                check for possible regressions in migration code
                by comparing two such vmstate dumps.
-enable-sync-profile
                enable synchronization profiling

Generic object creation:
-object TYPENAME[,PROP1=VALUE1,...]
                create a new object of type TYPENAME setting properties
                in the order they are specified.  Note that the 'id'
                property must be set.  These objects are placed in the
                '/objects' path.

During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

qemu-system-xen

This package provides the i386 system emulation binary to work together with the Xen hypervisor for some types of DomUs. This package is not useful by its own.

Installed size: 21.06 MB
How to install: sudo apt install qemu-system-xen

qemu-user

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports Alpha, ARM, CRIS, i386, LoongArch, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, RISC-V, S390x, SH4, SPARC, x86-64, Xtensa and other emulations. 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.

Installed size: 91.55 MB
How to install: sudo apt install qemu-user

Dependencies:
  • libc6
  • libcapstone4
  • libglib2.0-0

You can use -E and -U options or the QEMU_SET_ENV and
QEMU_UNSET_ENV environment variables to set and unset
environment variables for the target process.
It is possible to provide several variables by separating them
by commas in getsubopt(3) style. Additionally it is possible to
provide the -E and -U options multiple times.
The following lines are equivalent:
    -E var1=val2 -E var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD -U LD_DEBUG
    -E var1=val2,var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD,LD_DEBUG
    QEMU_SET_ENV=var1=val2,var2=val2 QEMU_UNSET_ENV=LD_PRELOAD,LD_DEBUG
Note that if you provide several changes to a single variable
the last change will stay in effect.

Defaults:
QEMU_LD_PREFIX  = /usr/gnemul/qemu-microblaze
QEMU_STACK_SIZE = 8388608 byte

You can use -E and -U options or the QEMU_SET_ENV and
QEMU_UNSET_ENV environment variables to set and unset
environment variables for the target process.
It is possible to provide several variables by separating them
by commas in getsubopt(3) style. Additionally it is possible to
provide the -E and -U options multiple times.
The following lines are equivalent:
    -E var1=val2 -E var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD -U LD_DEBUG
    -E var1=val2,var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD,LD_DEBUG
    QEMU_SET_ENV=var1=val2,var2=val2 QEMU_UNSET_ENV=LD_PRELOAD,LD_DEBUG
Note that if you provide several changes to a single variable
the last change will stay in effect.

You can use -E and -U options or the QEMU_SET_ENV and
QEMU_UNSET_ENV environment variables to set and unset
environment variables for the target process.
It is possible to provide several variables by separating them
by commas in getsubopt(3) style. Additionally it is possible to
provide the -E and -U options multiple times.
The following lines are equivalent:
    -E var1=val2 -E var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD -U LD_DEBUG
    -E var1=val2,var2=val2 -U LD_PRELOAD,LD_DEBUG
    QEMU_SET_ENV=var1=val2,var2=val2 QEMU_UNSET_ENV=LD_PRELOAD,LD_DEBUG
Note that if you provide several changes to a single variable
the last change will stay in effect.

It is possible to provide several variables by separating them
by commas in getsubopt(3) style. Additionally it is possible to
provide the -E and -U options multiple times.
The following lines are equivalent:

Note that if you provide several changes to a single variable
the last change will stay in effect.

QEMU_UNSET_ENV environment variables to set and unset
environment variables for the target process.
It is possible to provide several variables by separating them
by commas in getsubopt(3) style. Additionally it is possible to
provide the -E and -U options multiple times.
The following lines are equivalent:

Note that if you provide several changes to a single variable
the last change will stay in effect.

Command parameters:
  'filename' is a disk image filename
  'objectdef' is a QEMU user creatable object definition. See the qemu(1)
    manual page for a description of the object properties. The most common
    object type is a 'secret', which is used to supply passwords and/or
    encryption keys.
  'fmt' is the disk image format. It is guessed automatically in most cases
  'cache' is the cache mode used to write the output disk image, the valid
    options are: 'none', 'writeback' (default, except for convert), 'writethrough',
    'directsync' and 'unsafe' (default for convert)
  'src_cache' is the cache mode used to read input disk images, the valid
    options are the same as for the 'cache' option
  'size' is the disk image size in bytes. Optional suffixes
    'k' or 'K' (kilobyte, 1024), 'M' (megabyte, 1024k), 'G' (gigabyte, 1024M),
    'T' (terabyte, 1024G), 'P' (petabyte, 1024T) and 'E' (exabyte, 1024P)  are
    supported. 'b' is ignored.
  'output_filename' is the destination disk image filename
  'output_fmt' is the destination format
  'options' is a comma separated list of format specific options in a
    name=value format. Use -o help for an overview of the options supported by
    the used format
  'snapshot_param' is param used for internal snapshot, format
    is 'snapshot.id=[ID],snapshot.name=[NAME]', or
    '[ID_OR_NAME]'
  '-c' indicates that target image must be compressed (qcow format only)
  '-u' allows unsafe backing chains. For rebasing, it is assumed that old and
       new backing file match exactly. The image doesn't need a working
       backing file before rebasing in this case (useful for renaming the
       backing file). For image creation, allow creating without attempting
       to open the backing file.
  '-h' with or without a command shows this help and lists the supported formats
  '-p' show progress of command (only certain commands)
  '-q' use Quiet mode - do not print any output (except errors)
  '-S' indicates the consecutive number of bytes (defaults to 4k) that must
       contain only zeros for qemu-img to create a sparse image during
       conversion. If the number of bytes is 0, the source will not be scanned for
       unallocated or zero sectors, and the destination image will always be
       fully allocated
  '--output' takes the format in which the output must be done (human or json)
  '-n' skips the target volume creation (useful if the volume is created
       prior to running qemu-img)

Parameters to bitmap subcommand:
  'bitmap' is the name of the bitmap to manipulate, through one or more
       actions from '--add', '--remove', '--clear', '--enable', '--disable',
       or '--merge source'
  '-g granularity' sets the granularity for '--add' actions
  '-b source' and '-F src_fmt' tell '--merge' actions to find the source
       bitmaps from an alternative file

Parameters to check subcommand:
  '-r' tries to repair any inconsistencies that are found during the check.
       '-r leaks' repairs only cluster leaks, whereas '-r all' fixes all
       kinds of errors, with a higher risk of choosing the wrong fix or
       hiding corruption that has already occurred.

Parameters to convert subcommand:
  '--bitmaps' copies all top-level persistent bitmaps to destination
  '-m' specifies how many coroutines work in parallel during the convert
       process (defaults to 8)
  '-W' allow to write to the target out of order rather than sequential

Parameters to snapshot subcommand:
  'snapshot' is the name of the snapshot to create, apply or delete
  '-a' applies a snapshot (revert disk to saved state)
  '-c' creates a snapshot
  '-d' deletes a snapshot
  '-l' lists all snapshots in the given image

Parameters to compare subcommand:
  '-f' first image format
  '-F' second image format
  '-s' run in Strict mode - fail on different image size or sector allocation

Parameters to dd subcommand:
  'bs=BYTES' read and write up to BYTES bytes at a time (default: 512)
  'count=N' copy only N input blocks
  'if=FILE' read from FILE
  'of=FILE' write to FILE
  'skip=N' skip N bs-sized blocks at the start of input

Supported formats: blkdebug blklogwrites blkverify bochs cloop compress copy-before-write copy-on-read dmg file ftp ftps gluster host_cdrom host_device http https iscsi iser luks nbd nfs null-aio null-co nvme parallels preallocate qcow qcow2 qed quorum raw rbd replication snapshot-access ssh throttle vdi vhdx vmdk vpc vvfat
