In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system +(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. +It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting +the PC or to debug system code. + * User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch +Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to +launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and +cross-debugging. + +As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use. |
