79 KIND specifies how the simulator shall be used. Currently there
80 are only two kinds: stand-alone and debug.
82 CALLBACK specifies a standard host callback (defined in callback.h).
84 ABFD, when non NULL, designates a target program. The program is
85 not loaded.
87 ARGV is a standard ARGV pointer such as that passed from the
88 command line. The syntax of the argument list is is assumed to be
89 ``SIM-PROG { SIM-OPTION } [ TARGET-PROGRAM { TARGET-OPTION } ]''.
90 The trailing TARGET-PROGRAM and args are only valid for a
91 stand-alone simulator.

94 passed to the other sim_foo functions. While the simulator
95 configuration can be parameterized by (in decreasing precedence)
96 ARGV's SIM-OPTION, ARGV's TARGET-PROGRAM and the ABFD argument, the
97 successful creation of the simulator shall not dependent on the
98 presence of any of these arguments/options.

130 addressing. The exception being systems, such as PPC/CHRP, which
131 support more complicated program loaders. A call to this function

133 calls to this function are permitted and have an accumulative
134 effect.
136 Process simulator: Calls to this function may be ignored.
138 FIXME: Most hardware simulators load the image at the VMA using
139 virtual addressing.
