+binfmt-support
+
+The binfmt_misc kernel module, contained in versions 2.1.43 and later of the
+Linux kernel, allows system administrators to register interpreters for
+various binary formats based on a magic number or their file extension, and
+cause the appropriate interpreter to be invoked whenever a matching file is
+executed. Think of it as a more flexible version of the #! executable
+interpreter mechanism.
+
+binfmt-support provides an update-binfmts script with which package
+maintainers can register interpreters to be used with this module without
+having to worry about writing their own init.d scripts, and which sysadmins
+can use for a slightly higher-level interface to this module.
+
+To have binfmt-support start and stop with your host,
+add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support start
+  fi
+
+and to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown (creating it if needed):
+
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.binfmt-support stop
+  fi
