[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] monitor: print message when using 'help' with an unknown command
Posted by Collin Walling 7 years, 6 months ago 
When typing 'help' followed by an unknown command, QEMU will
not print anything to the command line to let the user know
they typed a bad command. Let's fix this by printing a message
to the monitor when this happens. For example:

    (qemu) help xyz
    unknown command: 'xyz'

Thank you for the R-b. 

And pardon my impatience, but any chance this patch might get picked up, or
does it require some more review first?

It will on my next HMP pull; it's just not many pulls are happening
at the moment; it should be in by the end of the month.
