<abstract>
sim65 is a simulator for 6502 and 65C02 CPUs. It allows to test target
independed code.
</abstract>
<!-- Table of contents -->

<sect>Overview<p>
sim65 is the only solution as part of the toolchain to execute code. The
binary needs to be compiled with <tt/--target sim6502/ or <tt/--target sim65c02/.
<sect>Usage<p>
The simulator is called as follows:
<tscreen><verb>
Usage: sim65 [options] file [arguments]
Short options:
-h Help (this text)
-c Print amount of executed CPU cycles
-v Increase verbosity
-V Print the simulator version number
-x <num> Exit simulator after <num> cycles
Long options:
--help Help (this text)
--cycles Print amount of executed CPU cycles
--verbose Increase verbosity
--version Print the simulator version number
</verb></tscreen>
<sect1>Command line options in detail<p>
Here is a description of all the command line options:
<descrip>
<tag><tt>-h, --help</tt></tag>
Print the short option summary shown above.
<tag><tt>-c, --cycles</tt></tag>
Print the number of executed CPU cycles when the program terminates.
The cycles for the final "<tt>jmp exit</tt>" are not included in this
count.
<tag><tt>-v, --verbose</tt></tag>
Increase the simulator verbosity.
<tag><tt>-V, --version</tt></tag>
Print the version number of the utility. When submitting a bug report,
please include the operating system you're using, and the compiler
version.
<tag><tt>-x num</tt></tag>
Exit simulator after num cycles.
</descrip>
<sect>Input and output<p>
The simulator will read one binary file per invocation and can log the
program loading and paravirtualization calls to stderr.
Example output for the command
<tscreen><verb>
sim65 --verbose --verbose samples/gunzip65
</verb></tscreen>
