[Qemu-devel] QEMU Command Line Options

Hi,

I need to add a few command line options to QEMU. However, I am yet to
determine how QEMU takes input from the command line and parses the option
values. I have tried looking at various files including vl.c and cmd.c but
nothing seems to work right now.

Can anyone put me on the right path here? Or am I trying to do something
which is impossible?

Thanks.

hi, Qasim:
     pls refer to 'qemu-options.hx' and the big switch in 'vl.c'.


Thanks,
Jules.

Your on the right track but the missing piece is updating
qemu-options.hx.

If you look at the patch I recently posted to the list:

    qemu-log: new option -dfilter to limit output

You should be able to see all the bits I added.
