## Running
`bootstrap` currently has the following sub-commands:
- `bootstrap help`: some helpful documentation to have at your fingertips.
- `bootstrap test`: runs all automated tests.
- `bootstrap translate <input files> -o <output ELF binary>`: translates `.subx`
files into an executable ELF binary.
- `bootstrap run <ELF binary> <args>`: simulates running the ELF binaries emitted
by `bootstrap translate`. Useful for testing and debugging.
Remember, not all 32-bit Linux binaries are guaranteed to run. I'm not
building general infrastructure here for all of the x86 instruction set.
SubX is about programming with a small, regular subset of 32-bit x86.
