NAME
kvm - kvm-enabling link for qemu-system-x86_64
DESCRIPTION
When executed as kvm, qemu-system is run with preference to native
hardware-based virtualization, instead of relying solely on emulation.
Essentially kvm is equivalent to qemu-system-x86_64 -machine ac-
cel=kvm:tcg so when the host CPU support the kvm mode, native hardware
virtualization is enabled, or qemu-system-x86_64 falls back to the emu-
lation (TCG) mode.
SEE ALSO
qemu-system-x86_64(1).
