78 are only two kinds: stand-alone and debug.

80 CALLBACK specifies a standard host callback (defined in callback.h).
81
82 ABFD, when non NULL, designates a target program. The program is
83 not loaded.
84
85 ARGV is a standard ARGV pointer such as that passed from the
86 command line. The syntax of the argument list is is assumed to be
87 ``SIM-PROG { SIM-OPTION } [ TARGET-PROGRAM { TARGET-OPTION } ]''.
88 The trailing TARGET-PROGRAM and args are only valid for a
89 stand-alone simulator.
90
91 On success, the result is a non NULL descriptor that shall be
92 passed to the other sim_foo functions. While the simulator
93 configuration can be parameterized by (in decreasing precedence)
94 ARGV's SIM-OPTION, ARGV's TARGET-PROGRAM and the ABFD argument, the
95 successful creation of the simulator shall not dependent on the
96 presence of any of these arguments/options.
97

99 initialized to handle, with out restrictions any client requests
