31 SRST
32 ``commit``
33 Commit changes to the disk images (if -snapshot is used) or backing files.
34 If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file
35 will be resized to be the same size as the snapshot. If the snapshot is
36 smaller than the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated.
37 If you want the backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot,
38 you can safely truncate it yourself once the commit operation successfully
39 completes.

66 ``exit_preconfig``
67 This command makes QEMU exit the preconfig state and proceed with
68 VM initialization using configuration data provided on the command line
69 and via the QMP monitor during the preconfig state. The command is only
70 available during the preconfig state (i.e. when the --preconfig command
71 line option was in use).

85 ``block_resize``
86 Resize a block image while a guest is running. Usually requires guest
87 action to see the updated size. Resize to a lower size is supported,
88 but should be used with extreme caution. Note that this command only
89 resizes image files, it can not resize block devices like LVM volumes.

200 SRST
201 ``drive_del`` *device*
202 Remove host block device. The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
203 submitted against the host device underlying the disk. Once a drive has
204 been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
205 errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
206 These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive's error
207 actions (drive options rerror, werror).

223 Change the medium for a removable disk device to point to *filename*. eg::
225 (qemu) change ide1-cd0 /path/to/some.iso
227 ``-f``
228 forces the operation even if the guest has locked the tray.
230 *format* is optional.
232 *read-only-mode* may be used to change the read-only status of the device.
233 It accepts the following values:
235 retain
236 Retains the current status; this is the default.
238 read-only
239 Makes the device read-only.
241 read-write
242 Makes the device writable.
244 ``change vnc password`` [*password*]
246 Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password
247 is not supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC
248 passwords are only significant up to 8 letters. eg::
250 (qemu) change vnc password

478 *fmt* is a format which tells the command how to format the
479 data. Its syntax is: ``/{count}{format}{size}``
481 *count*
482 is the number of items to be dumped.
483 *format*
484 can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
485 c (char) or i (asm instruction).
486 *size*
487 can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
488 ``h`` or ``w`` can be specified with the ``i`` format to
489 respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
