Package: binfmt-support 1.2.2
Support for extra binary formats
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.
This package 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.
