[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] A hardware-independent library for executing real-mode x86 code [T] libx86 provides the capability to make real-mode x86 BIOS calls from [T] userland. lrmi provides a simple interface to this for x86 machines, but [T] this doesn't help on other platforms. libx86 provides the lrmi interface, [T] but will also run on platforms such as amd64 and alpha. [T] On x86 platforms, libx86 will use the vm86 interface provided by most [T] modern kernels in order to execute code. On non-x86 platforms, an interface [T] layer is provided to allow x86emu to be used to execute lrmi function calls. [T] The API is identical in both cases, meaning that applications can be written [T] without having to care about what's going on behind the scenes.
