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

68  VM initialization using configuration data provided on the command line
69  and via the QMP monitor during the preconfig state. The command is only
70  available during the preconfig state (i.e. when the --preconfig command
71  line option was in use).

85  Resize a block image while a guest is running.  Usually requires guest
86  action to see the updated size.  Resize to a lower size is supported,
87  but should be used with extreme caution.  Note that this command only
88  resizes image files, it can not resize block devices like LVM volumes.

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

237    is not supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC
238    passwords are only significant up to 8 letters. eg::

461  *fmt* is a format which tells the command how to format the
462  data. Its syntax is: ``/{count}{format}{size}``
463
464  *count*
465    is the number of items to be dumped.
466  *format*
467    can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
468    c (char) or i (asm instruction).
469  *size*
470    can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
471    ``h`` or ``w`` can be specified with the ``i`` format to
472    respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
