75 CALLBACK specifies a standard host callback (defined in callback.h).

77 ABFD, when non NULL, designates a target program. The program is

80 ARGV is a standard ARGV pointer such as that passed from the
81 command line. The syntax of the argument list is is assumed to be
82 ``SIM-PROG { SIM-OPTION } [ TARGET-PROGRAM { TARGET-OPTION } ]''.
83 The trailing TARGET-PROGRAM and args are only valid for a
84 stand-alone simulator.

87 passed to the other sim_foo functions. While the simulator
88 configuration can be parameterized by (in decreasing precedence)
