No actual hardware is emulated. This only runs VMs +through the Linux's KVM interface. What makes crosvm unique is a focus on +safety within the programming language and a sandbox around the virtual +devices to protect the kernel from attack in case of an exploit in the +devices. + +## Overview + +The crosvm source code is organized into crates, each with their own +unit tests. These crates are: + +* `kvm-sys` low-level (mostly) auto-generated structures and constants for using KVM +* `kvm` unsafe, low-level wrapper code for using kvm-sys +* `crosvm` the top-level binary front-end for using crosvm + +## Usage + +Currently there is no front-end, so the best you can do is run `cargo test` in +each crate. |
