Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 4/5] usb: reword -usb command-line option and mention xHCI
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2019 08:52:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190822065242.12496-5-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190822065242.12496-1-kraxel@redhat.com>
From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
The -usb section of the man page is not very clear on what exactly -usb
does and fails to mention xHCI as a modern alternative (-device
nec-usb-xhci).
