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.

66 ``exit_preconfig``
67   This command makes QEMU exit the preconfig state and proceed with
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 ``block_resize``
86   Resize a block image while a guest is running.  Usually requires guest
87   action to see the updated size.  Resize to a lower size is supported,
88   but should be used with extreme caution.  Note that this command only
89   resizes image files, it can not resize block devices like LVM volumes.

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

221 
222   ``change`` *diskdevice* [-f] *filename* [*format* [*read-only-mode*]]
223     Change the medium for a removable disk device to point to *filename*. eg::
224 
225       (qemu) change ide1-cd0 /path/to/some.iso
226 
227     ``-f``

229 
230     *format* is optional.
231 
232     *read-only-mode* may be used to change the read-only status of the device.
233     It accepts the following values:
234 
235     retain
236       Retains the current status; this is the default.
237 
238     read-only
239       Makes the device read-only.
240 
241     read-write
242       Makes the device writable.
243 
244   ``change vnc password`` [*password*]
245 
246     Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password
247     is not supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC
248     passwords are only significant up to 8 letters. eg::
249 
250       (qemu) change vnc password

469 ``xp /``\ *fmt* *addr*
470   Physical memory dump starting at *addr*.
471 
472   *fmt* is a format which tells the command how to format the
473   data. Its syntax is: ``/{count}{format}{size}``
474 
475   *count*
476     is the number of items to be dumped.
477   *format*
478     can be x (hex), d (signed decimal), u (unsigned decimal), o (octal),
479     c (char) or i (asm instruction).
480   *size*
481     can be b (8 bits), h (16 bits), w (32 bits) or g (64 bits). On x86,
482     ``h`` or ``w`` can be specified with the ``i`` format to
483     respectively select 16 or 32 bit code instruction size.
484 
485   Examples:
486 
487   Dump 10 instructions at the current instruction pointer::
488 
489     (qemu) x/10i $eip

876 ``ringbuf_read`` *device*
877   Read and print up to *size* bytes from ring buffer character
878   device *device*.
879   Certain non-printable characters are printed ``\uXXXX``, where ``XXXX`` is the
880   character code in hexadecimal.  Character ``\`` is printed ``\\``.
881   Bug: can screw up when the buffer contains invalid UTF-8 sequences,
882   NUL characters, after the ring buffer lost data, and when reading
883   stops because the size limit is reached.

901   start a separate announce timer and to change the parameters of it later.
