qemu-option: improve qemu_opts_print_help() output
Modify qemu_opts_print_help(): - to print expected argument type - skip description if not available - sort lines - prefix with the list name (like qdev, to avoid confusion) - drop 16-chars alignment, use a '-' as seperator for option name and description For ex, "-spice help" output is changed from: port No description available tls-port No description available addr No description available [...] gl No description available rendernode No description available to: spice.addr=str spice.agent-mouse=bool (on/off) spice.disable-agent-file-xfer=bool (on/off) [...] spice.x509-key-password=str spice.zlib-glz-wan-compression=str "qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o help", changed from: size Virtual disk size compat Compatibility level (0.10 or 1.1) backing_file File name of a base image [...] lazy_refcounts Postpone refcount updates refcount_bits Width of a reference count entry in bits to: backing_file=str - File name of a base image backing_fmt=str - Image format of the base image cluster_size=size - qcow2 cluster size [...] refcount_bits=num - Width of a reference count entry in bits size=size - Virtual disk size Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
