Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 09/18] docs: updated qemu-img man page and qemu-doc to reflect VHDX support.
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:46:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387554416-5837-10-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1387554416-5837-1-git-send-email-stefanha@redhat.com>
From: Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>
The man page for qemu-img, and the qemu-doc, did not mention VHDX
as a supported format. This adds in reference to VHDX in those
documents.
[Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de> suggested s/Block Size/Block size/ for
consistency. I have made this change.
