1 HXCOMM Use DEFHEADING() to define headings in both help text and texi
2 HXCOMM Text between STEXI and ETEXI are copied to texi version and
3 HXCOMM discarded from C version
4 HXCOMM DEF(command, args, callback, arg_string, help) is used to construct
5 HXCOMM monitor commands
6 HXCOMM HXCOMM can be used for comments, discarded from both texi and C

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

175 (qemu) change vnc localhost:1
176 @end example
178 @item change vnc password [@var{password}]
180 Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password is not

417 can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
418 c (char) or i (asm instruction).
420 @item size
421 can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
422 @code{h} or @code{w} can be specified with the @code{i} format to
