From e960a7ee46e29556b80996bed396b79d7077f82f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 10:57:21 -0400 Subject: remove -writeconfig Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts. However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration by hand in the first place. In addition, -writeconfig does not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping. Just remove it.
