[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Print a warning message if the user specified a legacy USB option
Posted by Thomas Huth 6 years, 11 months ago
'-usb' and '-usbdevice' are considered as deprecated nowadays and
we might want to remove these options in a future version of QEMU.
So print out a warning if they are used and tell the user what to
use instead.
