-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.PP
-\fBqemu-mkcow\fR [\fB-h\fP] [\fB-f \fImaster_disk_image\fR\fP] [\fIcow_image\fR] [\fB\fIcow_size\fR\fP]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-The \fBqemu-mkcow\fR command creates a
-persistent copy-on-write file for \fBqemu\fR.
-
-.PP
-\fBqemu\fR can be used in a "copy-on-write" mode,
-where changes made by \fBqemu\fR do not actually
-change the disk image file. One way is to invoke
-\fBqemu\fR with -snapshot: these changes
-are stored in a temporary file, which is discarded when
-\fBqemu\fR exits.
-
-.PP
-\fBqemu-mkcow\fR creates an explicit copy-on-write
-file where changes are to be stored: this way, changes made
-inside \fBqemu\fR will still be there next time you
-run it, although the master disk image isn't ever changed.
-
-.PP
-The usual method is to create the master image, then create a
-copy-on-write file using \fBqemu-mkcow\fR with
-\fB-f\fP. The filename of the master image is stored
-inside the generated copy-on-write file: it must not be modified
-after this is run!
-
-.PP
-If no master file is specified, the effect is that of a
-blank master of size \fIcow_size\fR.
