Sometimes this is either not desired or client applications want to figure out what tool it is providing transparent x86_64 emulation via the binfmt_misc mechanism. Other providers of binfmt interpreters solve this via an environment variable. For example qemu has QEMU_VERSION which, if set, will disable emulation but just print the qemu version string when attempting to run a foreign architecture binary via binfmt_misc. + +I'm asking for a similar mechanism for box64.
