Overview

Yom may use the binfmt-misc module under Linux 2.1.43 or greater as described in /usr/share/doc/elks-libc/README.elksemu.gz which will cause the kernel to run elksemu with the correct arguments whenever the user tries to execute an ELKS executable directly.

Options

There are no flag options to elksemu, the first argument is the name of the program to run the rest are arguments that are passed to the Elks program.
