[Qemu-devel] [PULL 16/30] vl.c: Add '-L help' which lists data dirs.

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: "Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@redhat.com>

QEMU compiles a list of data directories from various sources.  When
consuming a QEMU binary it's useful to be able to get this list of
data directories: a primary reason is so you can list what BIOSes or
keymaps ship with this version of QEMU.  However without reproducing
the method that QEMU uses internally, it's not possible to get the
list of data directories.

This commit adds a simple '-L help' option that just lists out the
data directories as qemu calculates them:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L help
/home/rjones/d/qemu/pc-bios
/usr/local/share/qemu

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L /tmp -L help
/tmp
/home/rjones/d/qemu/pc-bios
/usr/local/share/qemu
