kvm \- obsolete wrapper for qemu-system-x86_64
7
wrapper script is used to provide compatibility with old
8
qemu\-kvm package which has been merged into qemu as of
11
The script prints a warning on stderr and executes
13
.B qemu\-system\-x86_64 -machine accel:kvm,tcg
15
passing all other command-line arguments to qemu binary.
16
This means more or less the same thing as the old kvm
17
binary provided: to run qemu in kvm mode if it is available,
18
and switch to emulator mode (tcg) if not.
20
For new installs it is advisable to use
22
.B qemu\-system\-x86_64 \-enable\-kvm
24
instead, -- this will fail if kvm mode is not available
25
instead of falling back to use a very slow emulation mode.
