.Op Fl c Ar numcpus
.Op Fl g Ar gdbport
.Op Fl l Ar lpcdev Ns Op , Ns Ar conf
.Op Fl m Ar memsize Ns Op Ar K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a hypervisor that runs guest operating systems inside a
virtual machine.
.Pp
Parameters such as the number of virtual CPUs, amount of guest memory, and
I/O connectivity can be specified with command-line parameters.
.Pp
If not using a boot ROM, the guest operating system must be loaded with
.Xr bhyveload 8
or a similar boot loader before running
.Nm ,
otherwise, it is enough to run
.Nm
with a boot ROM of choice.
.Pp
.Nm
runs until the guest operating system reboots or an unhandled hypervisor
exit is detected.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Fl a
The guest's local APIC is configured in xAPIC mode.
The xAPIC mode is the default setting so this option is redundant.
It will be deprecated in a future version.
.It Fl A
Generate ACPI tables.
Required for
.Fx Ns /amd64
guests.
.It Fl b
Enable a low-level console device supported by
.Fx
kernels compiled with
.Cd "device bvmconsole" .
This option will be deprecated in a future version.
.It Fl c Ar numcpus
Number of guest virtual CPUs.
The default is 1 and the maximum is 16.
.It Fl C
Include guest memory in core file.
.It Fl e
Force
.Nm
to exit when a guest issues an access to an I/O port that is not emulated.
This is intended for debug purposes.
.It Fl g Ar gdbport
For
.Fx
kernels compiled with
.Cd "device bvmdebug" ,
allow a remote kernel kgdb to be relayed to the guest kernel gdb stub
via a local IPv4 address and this port.
This option will be deprecated in a future version.
.It Fl h
Print help message and exit.
.It Fl H
Yield the virtual CPU thread when a HLT instruction is detected.
If this option is not specified, virtual CPUs will use 100% of a host CPU.
.It Fl l Ar lpcdev Ns Op , Ns Ar conf
Allow devices behind the LPC PCI-ISA bridge to be configured.
The only supported devices are the TTY-class devices
.Ar com1
and
.Ar com2
and the boot ROM device
.Ar bootrom .
.It Fl m Ar memsize Ns Op Ar K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t
Guest physical memory size in bytes.
This must be the same size that was given to
.Xr bhyveload 8 .
.Pp
The size argument may be suffixed with one of K, M, G or T (either upper
or lower case) to indicate a multiple of kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes,
or terabytes.
If no suffix is given, the value is assumed to be in megabytes.
.Pp
.Ar memsize
defaults to 256M.
.It Fl p Ar vcpu:hostcpu
Pin guest's virtual CPU
.Em vcpu
to
.Em hostcpu .
.It Fl P
Force the guest virtual CPU to exit when a PAUSE instruction is detected.
.It Fl s Ar slot,emulation Ns Op , Ns Ar conf
Configure a virtual PCI slot and function.
.Pp
.Nm
provides PCI bus emulation and virtual devices that can be attached to
slots on the bus.
There are 32 available slots, with the option of providing up to 8 functions
per slot.
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Ar slot
.Ar pcislot[:function]

If not specified, the
.Ar function
value defaults to 0.
If not specified, the
.Ar bus
value defaults to 0.
.It Ar emulation
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Li hostbridge | Li amd_hostbridge
.Pp
Provide a simple host bridge.
This is usually configured at slot 0, and is required by most guest
operating systems.

PCI pass-through device.
.It Li virtio-net
Virtio network interface.
.It Li virtio-blk
Virtio block storage interface.
.It Li virtio-rnd

Raw framebuffer device attached to VNC server.
.It Li xhci
eXtensible Host Controller Interface (xHCI) USB controller.
.El
.It Op Ar conf
This optional parameter describes the backend for device emulations.

considered unconnected.
.Pp

.It Ar tapN Ns Op , Ns Ar mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
.It Ar vmnetN Ns Op , Ns Ar mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
.Pp
If
.Ar mac
is not specified, the MAC address is derived from a fixed OUI and the
remaining bytes from an MD5 hash of the slot and function numbers and
the device name.
.Pp
The MAC address is an ASCII string in
.Xr ethers 5
format.
.El

in the guest address space reserved for boot firmware.
.El
.Pp
Pass-through devices:
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Ns Ar slot Ns / Ns Ar bus Ns / Ns Ar function
Connect to a PCI device on the host at the selector described by
.Ar slot ,
.Ar bus ,
and
.Ar function
numbers.
.El
.Pp
Guest memory must be wired using the
.Fl S
option when a pass-through device is configured.
.Pp
The host device must have been reserved at boot-time using the
.Va pptdev
loader variable as described in
.Xr vmm 4 .
.Pp
Virtio console devices:
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Li port1= Ns Pa /path/to/port1.sock Ns ,anotherport= Ns Pa ...
A maximum of 16 ports per device can be created.
Every port is named and corresponds to a Unix domain socket created by
.Nm .
.Nm
accepts at most one connection per port at a time.
.Pp
Limitations:
.Bl -bullet -offset 2n
.It
Due to lack of destructors in
.Nm ,
sockets on the filesystem must be cleaned up manually after
.Nm
exits.
.It
There is no way to use the "console port" feature, nor the console port
resize at present.
.It
Emergency write is advertised, but no-op at present.
.El
.El
.Pp
Framebuffer devices:
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Oo rfb= Ns Oo Ar IP: Oc Ns Ar port Oc Ns Oo ,w= Ns Ar width Oc Ns Oo ,h= Ns Ar height Oc Ns Oo ,vga= Ns Ar vgaconf Oc Ns Oo Ns ,wait Oc Ns Oo ,password= Ns Ar password Oc
.Bl -tag -width 8n
.It Ar IP:port
An
.Ar IP
address and a
.Ar port
VNC should listen on.
The default is to listen on localhost IPv4 address and default VNC port 5900.
Listening on an IPv6 address is not supported.
.It Ar width No and Ar height
A display resolution, width and height, respectively.
If not specified, a default resolution of 1024x768 pixels will be used.
Minimal supported resolution is 640x480 pixels,
and maximum is 1920x1200 pixels.
.It Ar vgaconf
Possible values for this option are
.Dq io
(default),
.Dq on
, and
.Dq off .
PCI graphics cards have a dual personality in that they are
standard PCI devices with BAR addressing, but may also
implicitly decode legacy VGA I/O space
.Pq Ad 0x3c0-3df
and memory space
.Pq 64KB at Ad 0xA0000 .
The default
.Dq io
option should be used for guests that attempt to issue BIOS
calls which result in I/O port queries, and fail to boot if I/O decode is disabled.
.Pp
The
.Dq on
option should be used along with the CSM BIOS capability in UEFI
to boot traditional BIOS guests that require the legacy VGA I/O and
memory regions to be available.
.Pp
The
.Dq off
option should be used for the UEFI guests that assume that
VGA adapter is present if they detect the I/O ports.
An example of such a guest is
.Ox
in UEFI mode.
.Pp
Please refer to the
.Nm
.Fx
wiki page
.Pq Lk https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve
for configuration notes of particular guests.
.It wait
Instruct
.Nm
to only boot upon the initiation of a VNC connection, simplifying the installation
of operating systems that require immediate keyboard input.
This can be removed for post-installation use.
.It password
This type of authentication is known to be cryptographically weak and is not
intended for use on untrusted networks.
Many implementations will want to use stronger security, such as running
the session over an encrypted channel provided by IPsec or SSH.
.El
.El
.Pp
xHCI USB devices:
.Bl -tag -width 10n
.It Li tablet
A USB tablet device which provides precise cursor synchronization
when using VNC.
.El
.El
.It Fl S
Wire guest memory.
.It Fl u
RTC keeps UTC time.
.It Fl U Ar uuid
Set the universally unique identifier
.Pq UUID
in the guest's System Management BIOS System Information structure.
By default a UUID is generated from the host's hostname and
.Ar vmname .
.It Fl w
Ignore accesses to unimplemented Model Specific Registers (MSRs).
This is intended for debug purposes.
.It Fl W
Force virtio PCI device emulations to use MSI interrupts instead of MSI-X
interrupts.
.It Fl x
The guest's local APIC is configured in x2APIC mode.
.It Fl Y
Disable MPtable generation.
.It Ar vmname
Alphanumeric name of the guest.
This should be the same as that created by
.Xr bhyveload 8 .
.El
.Sh SIGNAL HANDLING
.Nm
deals with the following signals:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It SIGTERM
Trigger ACPI poweroff for a VM
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
Exit status indicates how the VM was terminated:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It 0
rebooted
.It 1
powered off
.It 2
halted
.It 3
triple fault
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
If not using a boot ROM, the guest operating system must have been loaded with
.Xr bhyveload 8
or a similar boot loader before
.Xr bhyve 4
can be run.
Otherwise, the boot loader is not needed.
.Pp
