184Remove host block device.  The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
185submitted against the host device underlying the disk.  Once a drive has
186been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
187errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
188These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive's error
189actions (drive options rerror, werror).

461@item format
462can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
463c (char) or i (asm instruction).
464
465@item size
466can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
467@code{h} or @code{w} can be specified with the @code{i} format to
468respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
