38 Commit changes to the disk images (if -snapshot is used) or backing files.
39 If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be
40 resized to be the same size as the snapshot. If the snapshot is smaller than
41 the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated. If you want the
42 backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot, you can safely truncate
43 it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

72 This command makes QEMU exit the preconfig state and proceed with
73 VM initialization using configuration data provided on the command line
74 and via the QMP monitor during the preconfig state. The command is only
75 available during the preconfig state (i.e. when the --preconfig command

91 action to see the updated size. Resize to a lower size is supported,

208 Remove host block device. The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
209 submitted against the host device underlying the disk. Once a drive has
210 been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
211 errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.

213 actions (drive options rerror, werror).

234 (qemu) change ide1-cd0 /path/to/some.iso
235 @end example
237 @var{format} is optional.
239 @var{read-only-mode} may be used to change the read-only status of the device.
240 It accepts the following values:
242 @table @var
243 @item retain
244 Retains the current status; this is the default.
246 @item read-only
247 Makes the device read-only.
249 @item read-write
250 Makes the device writable.
251 @end table
253 @item change vnc @var{display},@var{options}
254 Change the configuration of the VNC server. The valid syntax for @var{display}
255 and @var{options} are described at @ref{sec_invocation}. eg
257 @example
258 (qemu) change vnc localhost:1
259 @end example
261 @item change vnc password [@var{password}]
263 Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password is not
264 supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC passwords are only
265 significant up to 8 letters. eg
267 @example
