Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] qemu-io: Extended "--cmd" description in usage text
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 09:59:19 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1395122359-28890-4-git-send-email-maria.k@catit.be> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1395122359-28890-1-git-send-email-maria.k@catit.be>
It's not clear from the usage description that "--cmd" option accepts its argument as a string, so any special symbols have to be quoted from the shell.
Updates in usage text:
- Specified parameter format for "--cmd" option.
- Added an instruction how to get help for "--cmd" option.
Signed-off-by: Maria Kustova <maria.k@catit.be>
