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.

38 you can safely truncate it yourself once the commit operation successfully

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.

243 is not supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC

475 *size*
476 can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
477 ``h`` or ``w`` can be specified with the ``i`` format to
478 respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
