This runtime support is limited to emulation of the iBCS2 system call interface, and is far from complete. COFF binaries and shared libraries are supported, however no shared libraries are provided with the FreeBSD distribution. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /lkm/ibcs2_coff.o -compact .It Pa /lkm/ibcs2_mod.o .It Pa /lkm/ibcs2_coff_mod.o .It Pa /lkm/socksys_mod.o iBCS2 loadable kernel modules .Sh "SEE ALSO" .Pa /sys/i386/ibcs2/README.iBCS2 , .Xr modload 8 , .Xr lkm 4 .Sh BUGS The emulation is very incomplete. .Pp Running dynamically linked binaries requires access to an existing SCO system from which you can grab the shared libraries. .Pp You can't really use this without reading the source code. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
