From 2b4c0a20fbcfdba838d412d07739b2f4b6f7cd9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Reitz Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 15:46:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] qemu-img: Document backing options The create and convert subcommands have shorthands to set the backing_file and, in the case of create, the backing_fmt options for the new image. However, they have not been documented so far, which is remedied by this patch.
