37Commit changes to the disk images (if -snapshot is used) or backing files.
38If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be
39resized to be the same size as the snapshot.  If the snapshot is smaller than
40the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated.  If you want the
41backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot, you can safely truncate
42it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

187Remove host block device.  The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
188submitted against the host device underlying the disk.  Once a drive has
189been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
190errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
191These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive's error
192actions (drive options rerror, werror).

214@end example

223Retains the current status; this is the default.
224

235
236@example
237(qemu) change vnc localhost:1
238@end example
239
240@item change vnc password [@var{password}]
241
242Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password is not
243supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC passwords are only
244significant up to 8 letters. eg

478@item count
479is the number of items to be dumped.
480
481@item format
482can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
483c (char) or i (asm instruction).
484
485@item size
486can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
487@code{h} or @code{w} can be specified with the @code{i} format to
488respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
