- .BY Me!
- .nh
- .SH NAME
- elksemu \- Embedded Linux Kernel Subset emulator
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B /lib/elksemu
- .B program
- .RB [ arguments ]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B Elksemu
- is a program that allows 8086
- .B ELKS
- programs to be run under Linux-i386. These programs can be compiled using
- the
- .B bcc(1)
- C compiler.
- Yom may use the
- .I binfmt-misc
- module under Linux 2.1.43 or greater as described in the elksemu README
- which will cause the kernel to run
- .I elksemu
- with the correct arguments whenever the user tries to execute an ELKS
- executable directly.
- .SH OPTIONS
- There are no flag options to elksemu, the first argument is the name of the
- program to run the rest are arguments that are passed to the Elks program.
- .SH SECURITY
- The
- .B elksemu
- program may be installed suid-root and in this event it is able to
- run execute only (chmod 111) elks executables and act correctly on the
- suid permission bits on any executable.
- This should be considered a security hazard so elksemu does
- .I not
- have to be installed suid-root.
- If you consider using this facility you should also be aware that it will
- override the 'nosuid' mount(8) option.
- .SH SEE ALSO
- bcc(1), as86(1), ld86(1)
- .SH BUGS
- Elksemu is incomplete.
- The program may still have security bugs!
