1 HXCOMM Use DEFHEADING() to define headings in both help text and rST.
2 HXCOMM Text between SRST and ERST is copied to the rST 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 rST and C.

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.

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

198 errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.

464 *count*
465 is the number of items to be dumped.
466 *format*
467 can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
468 c (char) or i (asm instruction).
469 *size*
470 can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
471 ``h`` or ``w`` can be specified with the ``i`` format to
472 respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
