Subject: [PULL 35/57] qemu-img: create: refresh options/--help (short option change)
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 21:03:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250715190330.378764-36-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250715190330.378764-1-kwolf@redhat.com>

From: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>

Create helper function cmd_help() to display command-specific
help text, and use it to print --help for 'create' subcommand.

Add missing long options (eg --format) in img_create().

Recognize -B option for --backing-format, keep -F for
backward compatibility,

Reorder options for consistency.

Remove usage of missing_argument()/unrecognized_option() in
img_create().
