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

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

193 actions (drive options rerror, werror).

214 (qemu) change ide1-cd0 /path/to/some.iso
215 @end example
217 @var{format} is optional.
219 @var{read-only-mode} may be used to change the read-only status of the device.
220 It accepts the following values:
222 @table @var
223 @item retain
224 Retains the current status; this is the default.
226 @item read-only
227 Makes the device read-only.
229 @item read-write
230 Makes the device writable.
231 @end table
233 @item change vnc @var{display},@var{options}
234 Change the configuration of the VNC server. The valid syntax for @var{display}
235 and @var{options} are described at @ref{sec_invocation}. eg
237 @example
238 (qemu) change vnc localhost:1
239 @end example
241 @item change vnc password [@var{password}]
243 Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password is not
244 supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC passwords are only
245 significant up to 8 letters. eg
247 @example
