Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Improve -device command line help some more
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:00:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381410021-1538-1-git-send-email-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

Marcel's recent improvements (commit dbd94f8..125ee0e) go in the right
direction, but there are issues (see PATCH 1/2), and I find the
resulting help output still hard to read.

This series redoes the help printing part of Marcel's series.  Result
looks like this (moxie picked as example for brevity):

    $ qemu-system-moxie -device help
    Controller/Bridge/Hub devices:
    name "usb-host", bus usb-bus
    name "usb-hub", bus usb-bus

    Storage devices:
    name "scsi-block", bus SCSI, desc "SCSI block device passthrough"
    name "scsi-cd", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI CD-ROM"
    name "scsi-disk", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI disk or CD-ROM (legacy)"
    name "scsi-generic", bus SCSI, desc "pass through generic scsi device (/dev/sg*)"
    name "scsi-hd", bus SCSI, desc "virtual SCSI disk"

    Input devices:
    name "isa-serial", bus ISA
    name "usb-kbd", bus usb-bus
    name "usb-mouse", bus usb-bus
    name "usb-tablet", bus usb-bus

    Misc devices:
    name "smbus-eeprom", bus i2c-bus
    name "usb-redir", bus usb-bus

Additionally, "info qdm" is again just like "device_add help" with
no-user devices included.

Markus Armbruster (2):
  Mostly revert "qemu-help: Sort devices by logical functionality"
  qdev-monitor: Group "device_add help" and "info qdm" by category
