NAME

       v86d - daemon to run x86 code in an emulated environment

SYNOPSIS

       v86d

DESCRIPTION

       v86d  provides  a  backend  for kernel drivers that need to execute x86
       BIOS code. The code is executed in a  controlled  environment  and  the
       results are passed back to the kernel via the netlink interface.

       v86d should NOT be run by the user, the kernel will call it, when it is
       needed.
