# kcemu-remote(1)

A remote controller for the KC 85/4 Emulator

## NAME

kcemu-remote - A remote controller for the KC 85/4 Emulator

## SYNOPSIS

**kcemu-remote command \[param1=value1\] \[param2=value2\] ...**\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **kcemu-remote** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**kcemu-remote** can control an already running KCemu by sending commands. The communication is done via the X Window System and is network transparent as long as the X Window Display can be accessed.

## EXAMPLE COMMANDS

- **emu-reset**

  Reset the emulator.

- **emu-power-on**

  Power-On Reset the emulator.

- **emu-quit**

  Exit the emulator.

- **kc-image-load filename=/absolute/path/to/imagefile**

  Load a program into the emulator (if the given file is not found a filerequester will pop up).

- **kc-image-run filename=/absolute/path/to/imagefile**

  Just like kc-image-load but tries to start the program after it is loaded.

- **floppy-attach filename=/absolute/path/to/diskimage**

  The only way to change disk images for now (the user interface is not functional ;-)).

- **keyboard-replay test=text\_to\_insert**

  Send the text to the emulator.

## BUGS

There is no error handling and it's not possible to specify an emulator instance if more than one emulator is running.
