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

208 Remove host block device. The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
209 submitted against the host device underlying the disk. Once a drive has
210 been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
211 errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.

256
257 @example
258 (qemu) change vnc localhost:1
259 @end example
260
261 @item change vnc password [@var{password}]
262
263 Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password is not
264 supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC passwords are only
265 significant up to 8 letters. eg
