2009-10-06add host_device format description to qemu-img manpageAdrian Bridgett
Converting files using "qemu-img convert" onto logical volumes (or any block device) you need to use the currently undocumented "host_device" format. This patch adds the required documentation to the manpage.

2009-08-10Add new block driver for the VDI format (only aio supported)Stefan Weil
This is a new block driver written from scratch to support the VDI format in QEMU. VDI is the native format used by Innotek / SUN VirtualBox. Latest changes: * stripped down version (code for synchronous operations and experimental code removed) * don't open VDI snapshot images (with uuid_link or uuid_parent) * modified vdi_aio_cancel Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <weil@mail.berlios.de> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Message-Id:
2009-06-07Use hxtool for qemu-img command listStuart Brady
Use hxtool to generate the 'command syntax' section of qemu-img's help message, and the corresponding section of the texinfo documentation. This has the side-effect of adding 'check' to this list of commands in the texinfo documentation. Signed-off-by: Stuart Brady <stuart.brady@gmail.com>
2009-06-06Document changes in qemu-img interfaceKevin Wolf
Update the documentation to reflect the introduction of format specific options with -o. Don't advertise -e or -6 any more, they exist only for compatibility reasons and can be replaced by the corresponding -o options. Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
2009-03-28qemu-img: adding a "-F base_fmt" option to "qemu-img create -b" (Uri Lublin)aliguori
If the user specifies the backing file format, then when opening the backing file, there is no need to probe the (backing file) image to figure out its format. This follows my previous patches implementing bdrv_create2 which keeps (for qcow2 only) the backing file format as a qcow2-extension Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.

2009-01-24Synch code, help and docsblueswir1
Rearrange code, help printout and docs so that they are in the same (hopefully more logical) order for easier maintenance. Add help and docs for undocumented options. Reformat slightly for more consistent help output. Add comments to encourage better synchronization in the future. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6432 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162
