These are all examples of usage of various command-line options. > Wouldn't it be better to either use just "qemu" or name both "qemu" and > "qemu-system-*"? Neither of that will be correct. There's no "qemu" binary for several years (back in time we supported only one, i386, target), so the first form is wrong. And the other suggested form - "qemu-system-*" - according to shell rules, expands to a list of all filenames matching this pattern in current directory. Just think of all these mentions like about examples, -- and as an example we can use any binary out of numerous we build. On the other hand, many options are really x86-specific so are only valid for -i386 and -x86_64, so again, qemu-system-* will be incorrectl. On the other hand, at the start of the manpage it is possible indeed to mention that all these mentions are just examples. Dunno about the good wording for that however...
