binfmt-support

|
The binfmt_misc kernel module, contained in versions 2.1.43 and later of the
|
||
|
|
Linux kernel, allows system administrators to register interpreters for
|
||
|
|
various binary formats based on a magic number or their file extension, and
|
||
|
|
cause the appropriate interpreter to be invoked whenever a matching file is
|
||
|
|
executed. Think of it as a more flexible version of the #! executable
|
||
|
|
interpreter mechanism.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
binfmt-support provides an update-binfmts script with which package
|
||
|
|
maintainers can register interpreters to be used with this module without
|
||
|
|
having to worry about writing their own init.d scripts, and which sysadmins
|
||
|
|
can use for a slightly higher-level interface to this module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To have binfmt-support start and stop with your host,
|
||
|
|
add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support ]; then
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support start
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (creating it if needed):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support ]; then
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support stop
|
||
|
|
fi
