Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/7] qdev: update help on -device
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:49:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264790942-15045-7-git-send-email-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1264790942-15045-1-git-send-email-armbru@redhat.com>

While there, use "property" rather than "option", for consistency with
-global.
