[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v1 2/8] net: List available netdevs with "-netdev help"
Posted by Thomas Huth 7 years, 8 months ago
Other options like "-chardev" or "-device" feature a nice help text
with the available devices when being called with "help" or "?".
Since it is quite useful, especially if you want to see which network
backends have been compiled into the QEMU binary, let's provide such
a help text for "-netdev", too.

Please make this status 0 (we were successful at giving the user help); 
it matches at least '--device help'.
