It's not obvious it's possible to search API docs, it's one of the things I would use the most often if it's reachable. BUG=None TEST=read it.

# Introduction
|
|
|
|
The crosvm project is a hosted (a.k.a.
|
|
[type-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor#Classification)) virtual
|
|
machine monitor.
|
|
|
|
crosvm runs untrusted operating systems along with virtualized devices.
|
|
Initially intended to be used with KVM and Linux, crosvm supports multiple kinds
|
|
of hypervisors. crosvm is focussed on safety within the programming language and
|
|
a sandbox around the virtual devices to protect the host from attack in case of
|
|
exploits in crosvm itself.
|
|
|
|
Other programs similar to crosvm are QEMU and VirtualBox. An operating system,
|
|
made of a root file system image and a kernel binary, are given as input to
|
|
crosvm and then crosvm will run the operating system using the platform's
|
|
hypervisor.
