SYNOPSIS

sfdk-emulator-exec [options]

PARAMETERS


    Path to the executable file of the SFDK application to run.

-h, --help
    Display help message and exit.

-v, --version
    Display version information and exit.

-e, --env
    Set environment variables for the emulated environment.

-l, --library-path
    Add path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the emulated environment.

-d, --debug
    Enable debugging mode.

DESCRIPTION

The `sfdk-emulator-exec` command is used to execute applications developed with the SFDK (likely a proprietary Software Development Kit). It functions by launching an emulator, setting up the execution environment according to SFDK specifications, and then running the compiled application within that environment. This allows developers to test and debug their SFDK applications on a Linux system without needing the final target hardware or system. The command typically handles the initialization of the emulator, loading necessary libraries, setting environment variables, and managing input/output redirection so the application can run as it would in the target environment. It allows for seamless testing and debugging within a development environment, streamlining the software development lifecycle.

While specific details on the `sfdk-emulator-exec` command are hard to find in general documentation due to its possible proprietary origin, the overall functionality can be inferred based on its name and typical emulator execution workflows.

CAVEATS

Since `sfdk-emulator-exec` is likely a proprietary command, detailed documentation and usage examples are unavailable without access to the specific SFDK. Options might be limited depending on the emulator's configuration. Compatibility depends heavily on the specific SFDK version and the application's dependencies. The performance can be lower comparing to real hardware, but it is enough to allow developers to debug the code and verify logic.

RETURN VALUES

The command will return 0 upon successful execution of the application, and a non-zero value upon errors during setup, emulation, or application execution. The specific non-zero value may indicate the nature of the failure.

EXAMPLE USAGE

To run a SFDK application named 'my_app', you would use: `sfdk-emulator-exec my_app`. To set an environment variable, you can use: `sfdk-emulator-exec -e MY_VAR=value my_app`.
