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.

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

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

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

210``change`` *device* *setting*

214    Change the medium for a removable disk device to point to *filename*. eg::

217
218    *format* is optional.

223    retain
224      Retains the current status; this is the default.
225
226    read-only
227      Makes the device read-only.
228
229    read-write
230      Makes the device writable.
231
232  ``change vnc`` *display*,\ *options*
233    Change the configuration of the VNC server. The valid syntax for *display*
234    and *options* are described at :ref:`sec_005finvocation`. eg::
235
236      (qemu) change vnc localhost:1
237
238  ``change vnc password`` [*password*]
239
240    Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password
241    is not supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC
242    passwords are only significant up to 8 letters. eg::
243
244      (qemu) change vnc password

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