Run an executable using CPU emulation if needed

## NAME

\<gnu-triplet\>-cross-exe-wrapper - Run an executable using CPU emulation if needed

## SYNOPSIS

\<*gnu-triplet*\>**-cross-exe-wrapper** \<*executable*\> \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

\<*gnu-triplet*\>**-cross-exe-wrapper** can be used to wrap a program compiled the architecture designated by its prefix in GNU triplet form. If the CPU happens to be able to run the program directly, it is run without emulation. The [**personality**(2)](/personality/2.md) of the execution environment is adjusted if necessary. The first argument must be a full path to the target executable. All further arguments are forwarded to the target executable.
