This allows the user (upon loading the module) to handle non-native binaries transparently - after registering the magic number and the command for handling execution, the programs can be ran as if compiled for the host architecture. (Similarly how the shebang line allows the interpreter to be specified for scirpts). Common use-cases include * Using qemu user-space emulation to run x86 binaries on ARM (or the other way around), or simply running 64-bit binaries on 32-bit architectures. * Allow Java programs to be run transparently. * Creating cross-architecture chroots (for cross-compilation e.g.) |
