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.

189Remove host block device.  The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
190submitted against the host device underlying the disk.  Once a drive has
191been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
192errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
193These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive's error
194actions (drive options rerror, werror).

465@item count
466is the number of items to be dumped.
467
468@item format
469can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
470c (char) or i (asm instruction).
471
472@item size
473can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
474@code{h} or @code{w} can be specified with the @code{i} format to
475respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
