# v86d(8)

daemon to run x86 code in an emulated environment

## 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.
