Subject: [PULL 17/18] qemu-img info: Optionally show block limits
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 13:06:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029120634.288467-18-kwolf@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029120634.288467-1-kwolf@redhat.com>
Add a new --limits option to 'qemu-img info' that displays the block
limits for the image and all of its children, making the information
more accessible for human users than in QMP. This option is not enabled
by default because it can be a lot of output that isn't usually relevant
if you're not specifically trying to diagnose some I/O problem.
This makes the same information automatically also available in HMP
'info block -v'.
