+@cindex emulation
+@cindex @code{binfmt_misc}
+@code{qemu-binfmt-service-type} provides support for transparent
+emulation of program binaries built for different architectures---e.g.,
+it allows you to transparently execute an ARMv7 program on an x86_64
+machine. It achieves this by combining the @uref{https://www.qemu.org,
+QEMU} emulator and the @code{binfmt_misc} feature of the kernel Linux.
+
+@defvr {Scheme Variable} qemu-binfmt-service-type
+This is the type of the QEMU/binfmt service for transparent emulation.
+Its value must be a @code{qemu-binfmt-configuration} object, which
+specifies the QEMU package to use as well as the architecture we want to
+emulated:
+
+@example
+(service qemu-binfmt-service-type
+ (qemu-binfmt-configuration
+ (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm" "aarch64" "ppc"))))
+@end example
+
+In this example, we enable transparent emulation for the ARM and aarch64
+platforms. Running @code{herd stop qemu-binfmt} turns it off, and
+running @code{herd start qemu-binfmt} turns it back on (@pxref{Invoking
+herd, the @command{herd} command,, shepherd, The GNU Shepherd Manual}).

+When it is true, QEMU and all its dependencies are added to the build
+environment of @command{guix-daemon} (@pxref{Invoking guix-daemon,
+@code{--chroot-directory} option}). This allows the @code{binfmt_misc}
+handlers to be used within the build environment, which in turn means
+that you can transparently build programs for another architecture.
+
+For example, let's suppose you're on an x86_64 machine and you have this
+service:
+
+@example
+(service qemu-binfmt-service-type
+ (qemu-binfmt-configuration
+ (platforms (lookup-qemu-platforms "arm"))

+@end example
+
+You can run:
+
+@example
+guix build -s armhf-linux inkscape
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+and it will build Inkscape for ARMv7 @emph{as if it were a native
+build}, transparently using QEMU to emulate the ARMv7 CPU. Pretty handy
