Command line syntax

The command line syntax is as follows:

epoc [-M<machine name>] [-T|[-C<emulated C drive>]] [-D<configuration options>] --

Notes:


Arguments

-C<emulated C drive>

Specifies the path of the directory that should be used for the emulated c: drive.

-T

Specifies that the system temporary path should be used as the emulated c: drive.

-M<machine name>

The base name of the .ini file and fascia bitmap. By default, this is EPOC.

-D<configuration options>

Specifies emulator configuration options as though they had been defined in epoc.ini. Unlike in epoc.ini, values are assigned to parameters using "=", for example,

> epoc.exe -DScreenWidth=440 -DColorDepth=Color256 --

The emulator can be configured using a mixture of command line options and options defined in epoc.ini. For a list of configuration options, see epoc.ini.
