5.1. Command line arguments
The following table shows the arguments that can be used on the command line. For other arguments, see section bochsrc.
Table 5-1. command line arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| -q | quick start (skip configuration interface) |
| -f filename | specify configuration file |
| -n | don't try to load a configuration file |
| -r path | specify path for restoring state (if save/restore support is compiled in) |
| --help | display help message and exit |
These arguments are handled directly after starting Bochs. The next step is to load a default or specified configuration file (unless disabled with -n). Then the rest of the command line (bochsrc options) is parsed. This is done after reading the configuration file so that the command line arguments can override the settings from the file.
